Diagnostic Services

Great advances have been made in imaging techniques that allow doctors and surgeons to see bones and joints in detail. These techniques make it possible to pinpoint where a problem is and how serious it is.

At Middle Georgia Orthopaedics, leading edge imaging techniques allow our expert surgeons and specialists to diagnose and treat orthopaedic conditions and disorders more quickly, more accurately and more effectively.

We provide onsite diagnostic services using the most current and sophisticated tools to help your physician determine the exact cause of your problems and how best to treat you.

Services include x-ray and electromyography, the study and recording of intrinsic electrical properties of skeletal muscles. This is carried out with a needle electrode. EMG results reflect not only on the integrity of the functioning connection between a nerve and its innervated muscle but also on the integrity of a muscle itself. A few prime examples are disc disease, advanced nerve compression, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), neuropathy and so on.
