Arthritis Diagnosis
Diagnosing arthritis and other rheumatic diseases is often difficult, as many symptoms are similar among the different diseases.
X-rays of the Spine, Neck, or Back
This procedure may be used to diagnose back or neck pain, fractures or broken bones, arthritis, degeneration of the disks, tumors, or other problems.
Confirmed Scaphoid Wrist Fracture
A scaphoid fracture is a fracture in one of the small bones of the wrist. This bone heals slowly. Some scaphoid fractures don't heal correctly, and may need surgery.
Your Scoliosis Evaluation
If a school screening or your healthcare provider finds signs of scoliosis, you’ll visit a special bone healthcare provider (orthopaedist) for an evaluation. This visit helps determine what treatment may be best for you now.
