| Pinched Nerves |
Neck and back pain is often caused by a "pinched nerve" or "slipped
disc". Dr. Best takes a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and
treatment of these conditions. Dr. Best enjoys the challenge of treating
patients who have failed other treatments.
When evaluating new patients, severe medical conditions must be ruled
out. Ulcers, for example, may refer pain to the back. Cancer, infections
and fractures must be ruled out.
Dr. Best is qualified to order studies such as x-rays, MRI's and EMG’s
(when they are appropriate).
Most patients do not need surgical treatment and may be treated with a
conservative approach. This may include physical therapy, injections,
medications, patient education and lifestyle modification.
Dr. Best is qualified to evaluate a person’s potential to return to work
and he can fill out disability forms.
