Diagnostic MRI vs Ultrasound Imaging

Diagnostic imaging modalities like X-ray, CT scan and MRI represented a quantum leap forward in 20th Century medicine, enabling doctors to look beneath the skin to visualize bones, joints, and soft tissues. But those breakthrough technologies have certain limitations in terms of risk, convenience, cost and utility. In the 21st Century, ultrasonography has taken diagnostic […]

Dry Needling vs Steroid Injections

Dry needling is an evidence-based methodology for successfully treating plantar fasciitis. During the procedure, a filament-thin non-medicated (dry) needle is slowly advanced into and withdrawn from pain-generating trigger points in the plantar fascia. The needling procedure causes a twitch response in targeted trigger points that immediately relaxes tightly contracted myofascial fibers. Since no drugs are […]

While articular (joint) cartilage erosion occurs most frequently in the knee, it may also occur in the hip, ankle, shoulder, or elbow. According to a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world-wide prevalence of knee OA in […]

Resolving TMJ Syndrome: Conservative Care vs Dental and Surgical Intervention
