How can Spine Diagnostix help my practice?
Diagnosing and Treating spine disorders is a fulfilling, dynamic and intellectually stimulating as a physician.
Before MRIs and Cat scans, a physician had to use their eyes and ears and listen to perform a true medical examination. Based on these findings, and with a great deal of trepidation, a clinical decision was made to either perform a surgery or treat the patient non-operatively. This was good old fashioned medical care. Today because of advancements in technology, financial pressures from hospitals, and reductions in reimbursements, most physicians no longer examine a patient. Spine Diagnostix brings together traditional medicine with the latest technology.
How does Spine Diagnostix work?
Our software uses specific spine algorithms originally developed in conjunction with the American Orthopedic Spine Society and the North American Spine Society. The software helps the physician perform a full evaluation, and after a series of questions and tests, a differential diagnosis is recommended. Our software starts off with a significant medical history and a full physical examination of the patient. The physician or practicioner using Spine Diagnostix, will leverage the power of our tested algorithms to provide the correct diagnosis and the correct treatment plan.
Spine Diagnostix's differential diagnosis tool understands that back pain or leg pain can be a herniated disc, instability, degenerative disc, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, or some other clinical exclusionary diagnosis like a neoplasm or infection.
The algorithm continues through for herniated discs specifically, for unremitting low back pain, and whether to consider an MRI. Now be reminded, this is about two to three and even up to four to six weeks minimum before an MRI is even done. Degenerative disc, spondylolisthesis, and disc pathology can be decided whether or not that’s the pain etiology or where it’s coming from. This is also inclusive of spinal stenosis.
Spine Diagnostix utilizing original algorithms from American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the North American Spine Society, as well as years of clinical practice very clearly outlines diagnostic criteria and that a physician can follow through and clarify where a patient stands in their treatment plan process.
Spine Diagnostix helps minimize clinical errors and improve patient outcomes. Today, many doctors choose to go straight to an MRI and perform the wrong or incorrect surgery, which can be very traumatic for a patient .
