General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
  SOS staff will perform a comprehensive work-up, including blood work and a bone density test for patients sent for osteoporosis screening (often after one has fractured a bone). Once the results are complete, the patient will meet with an SOS care provider to determine if further treatment is needed and begin treatment or be referred to a specialist.
• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Emergency Care
  Walk-in care where orthopedic injuries are promptly diagnosed and treated, avoiding costly and unnecessary visits to the emergency room.
• Diabetic Foot Care

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  A Nerve Conduction Study is a non-invasive, painless test to measure how well individual nerves send an electrical signal from the spinal cord to the muscles. A shock emitting electrode is placed over the nerve and a recording electrode placed over the muscles supplied by that nerve. The shock-emitting electrode sends brief, repeated electrical pulses to the nerve and the recording electrode records the reaction time of the muscle. NCS is often used to diagnose nerve disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Psychiatrists

• Mental Health
  People with other medical conditions may also be more likely to experience back pain. Obesity is a common cause of back pain. Individuals who suffer from certain mental health conditions, such as stress, depression or anxiety, may also experience back pain.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound-guided therapeutic injections aid physicians and other health care providers in treating joint problems by reducing inflammatory pain or by relieving pain through supplementing your joint fluid, depending upon which substance is injected into a patient. A variety of substances can be injected, including cortisone and viscosupplements. SOS uses a high quality Sonosite M-Turbo Ultrasound Unit for the injections, whose image guidance can help improve the accuracy of the injection.
• MRI
  SOS has two traditional closed MRI machines, the GE 1.5T HIGH FIELD MR, which is a high field system in a comfortable design. This patient friendly scanner has a shorter magnet flared at the ends for greater openness and easy patient access.
• Radiology
  Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Procedures are noninvasive and, with the exception of intravenous injections, are usually painless medical tests that help physicians diagnose and evaluate medical conditions. Nuclear medicine can be viewed as "radiology done inside out'' because it records radiation emitting from within the body rather than radiation that is generated by external sources like X-rays.
• X-Rays
• Nuclear Medicine
  A Bone Scan is one of many Nuclear Medicine imaging procedures. Bone scanning allows determination of small fractures, infections, loose prosthetics, and metastatic disease of the skeleton.
• Computed Tomography
  MRI is a non-invasive procedure that does not use ionizing radiation like X-rays. MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radiowaves and a computer to produce detailed pictures of soft tissues, bones and virtually all other internal body structures. MRI's are typically ordered when certain diagnoses may not be assessed adequately with other imaging methods such as an X-ray, ultrasound or CT scans. MR images are read and interpreted in a timely manner by on-site, board-certified radiologists at SOS to allow physicians to more quickly and accurately diagnose and treat medical conditions.
• Iontophoresis

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  Orthopedics encompasses many conditions and diseases that may require non-traditional diagnostics and services. The professionals at SOS provide many ancillary services, knowing that each patient is unique and may need different evaluations and options.
• Whiplash
  There are many potential neck pain causes. In addition to certain medical conditions that are associated with neck pain, neck pain can also be caused by injuries from accidents. For example, people involved in vehicle collisions often experience neck pain. Specifically, rear-end collisions can often cause whiplash, forcing the head to jerk backward then forward.
