- ElectrocardiogramA stress test is a type of electrocardiogram that measures and monitors the electrical activity in your heart while it’s under stress. During the test, you wear electrodes on your chest and back, which are hooked up to electrocardiogram equipment, as well as a blood pressure cuff. You walk on a treadmill with gradually increasing intensity. As your body works harder, it requires more oxygen, and your heart has to pump harder to move blood through your body. The test shows the electrical activity in your heart as well as the blood flow through the blood vessels that lead into and out of your heart.

- EpilepsyThe EEG is used to evaluate several types of brain disorders. When epilepsy is present, seizure activity will appear as rapid spiking waves on the EEG. People with lesions of their brain, which can result from tumors or stroke, may have unusually slow EEG waves, depending on the size and the location of the lesion. The test can also be used to diagnose other disorders that influence brain activity, such as Alzheime's disease, certain psychoses, and a sleep disorder called narcolepsy. The EEG may also be used to determine the overall electrical activity of the brain (for example, to evaluate trauma, drug intoxication, or extent of brain damage in comatose patients). The EEG may also be used to monitor blood flow in the brain during surgical procedures. There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend an EEG.

- Joint ReplacementThe team at Faith Medical Center diagnose osteoarthritis with a physical exam and diagnostic imaging studies. During your exam, your provider observes your joints, checking for tenderness, swelling, and a reduced range of motion. Your provider may order X-rays or MRIs to examine the inside of your joints for signs of osteoarthritis. How is osteoarthritis treated? While osteoarthritis is a chronic condition, your provider at Faith Medical Center offers personalized treatments and therapies to reduce your pain and restore your range of motion. Your treatment plan may include medication to reduce the inflammation in your joint and physical therapy to build strength and flexibility in the muscles that surround your arthritic joint to increase support and stability. In some cases, you may benefit from intra-articular injections of collagen or hyaluronic acid to lubricate your joint. If your joint has severe deterioration, and conservative treatment doesn’t reduce your pain, your provider may recommend joint replacement surgery. If you’re concerned about osteoarthritis, call Faith Medical Center or schedule a consultation online today.
