Eastside Allied Health, LLC we
have specialized our scope of practice to physical medicine
and the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. Our
medical doctors and certified physician assistant and
nurse practitioner work together to help devise a treatment
plan that will work for you. Our medical staff
will help diagnose and treat your condition by beginning
with a consult, taking a case history, performing an
exam and ordering any diagnostic studies if necessary
(x-rays). If further diagnostic studies are indicated,
our medical staff will make the appropriate referral
(MRI, CT Scan, etc.) If necessary, medication(s) may
be prescribed as part of your treatment plan.
IONTOPHORESIS is one
of the more effective forms of medicated treatments in
dealing with musculoskeletal pain. Iontophoresis is the
process by which medication, usually dexamethasone and
lidocaine, are introduced into a joint or small body part
via electrical current. It is non-invasive, painless and
it eliminates potential side effects and adverse reactions
which can occur with medications delivered orally or by
injection. It has proven to be effective in treating the
following joint pain/inflammation: shoulder pain, elbow
pain, knee pain and ankle pain. Our staff is skilled and
trained in this procedure.
If upon further evaluation our medical staff believes
your condition is not musculoskeletal related,they have
the extensive training and background to refer you to
the appropriate health care professional and will ensure
your health remains the top priority.
