Diagnostic Testing

Ostir Physical Medicine offers on-site lab work and diagnostic testing to provide patients a complete diagnosis for almost any health condition.

We are the leader in Joliet’s diagnostic testing centers, offering the most sophisticated lab analysis available:

Allergy and Immune Response Testing (ALCAT): If a basic blood test uncovers food allergies that might be attributing to health problems, the team at Ostir Physical Medicine can make recommendations for simple changes in diet that may significantly improve a patient’s quality of life.

Electromyography (EMG) Testing: Electromyography (EMG) testing checks electrical activity in the nerves or muscles, as abnormalities in electrical activity can cause muscular pain.

Functioning and Performance Testing: Ostir Physical Medicine’s skilled physical therapists provide spinal injury evaluations, to determine the scale of damage to the spine prior to creating a treatment plan.

Hormone and Adrenal Testing: Our doctors realize that often hormone imbalance is a leading cause of abnormal physical conditions. Evaluating hormone levels is the initial phase in indentifying conditions connected to adrenal gland dysfunction.

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Testing: Indications of nerve damage involve numbness, tingling and burning sensations. By measuring how efficiently electrical impulses travel down a nerve, a NCV test can detect signs of nerve injury.

Radiographs: Physical Medicine Institute of Joliet’s skilled radiographers use extremely low levels of radiation when utilizing this diagnostic test. Radiograph is a technology much like an x-ray, and helps doctors identify injuries to the spine and extremities.

Vascular Screenings: This diagnostic test monitors a patient’s blood pressure, while ultrasonic technology is used to gauge a patient’s blood flow.  Preventative vascular testing helps doctors uncover life-threatening conditions related to stroke and heart problems.
