Services
Physiatry Consultations
Our physiatrists conduct comprehensive evaluations to diagnose and treat nerve, muscle, and joint conditions. We develop personalized rehabilitation plans combining physical therapy, medication management, and interventional procedures. Our specialists address acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting mobility and daily function.
EMG/NCV Testing
We perform electromyography and nerve conduction velocity tests to diagnose nerve damage and muscle disorders. This specialized testing identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, and peripheral neuropathy. Our board-certified physicians ensure accurate interpretation of results for effective treatment planning.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Our ultrasound imaging evaluates soft tissue structures including tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This real-time imaging guides precise injections for inflammation and injury treatment. The technology enables accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries without radiation exposure.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections
We deliver corticosteroid and other therapeutic injections using ultrasound guidance for optimal placement. This technique improves treatment accuracy for joint, nerve, and soft tissue conditions. The procedure reduces systemic medication use while maximizing localized therapeutic effects.
Spasticity Management
Our specialists provide botulinum toxin injections for spasticity management using electrodiagnostic and ultrasound guidance. This treatment addresses muscle stiffness from neurological conditions like stroke or spinal cord injury. We combine injections with rehabilitation programs to improve mobility and comfort.

Questions
What conditions do physiatrists treat?
Our physiatrists treat nerve injuries, muscle disorders, sports injuries, chronic pain, and neurological conditions like stroke. We address both acute injuries and long-term mobility issues.
What is an EMG/NCV test?
EMG measures muscle response while NCV tests nerve signal speed. Combined, they diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, and peripheral neuropathy.
Are ultrasound-guided injections painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The procedure uses local anesthetic and precise imaging to ensure accurate medication delivery with reduced systemic effects.
How should I prepare for nerve testing?
Avoid lotions, wear warm clothing if extremities are tested, and inform us about blood thinners. No fasting or special preparation is required for EMG/NCV studies.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes, all our providers accept new patients. Dr. O'Connor is currently accepting appointments for initial consultations and rehabilitation planning.

The new office staff that they have there in the last couple of years are horrendous Annie is amazing there but the rest of them they want me to take the time to look in your file all they say is you have to schedule another appointment you have to schedule another appointment so obviously they're caring more about filling their pockets and their patience jorgensen's both brothers are amazing though if they could just get decent office help

Todd Jorgensen - terrible bedside manner. Doesn't listen to patient & refuses to explore further than where he is sure the problem is. No effort to educate the patient or offer possible solutions to help them live their best life. What is the value of a doctor who says this is where you are & I don't see any way you can improve your issues. Most negative doctor experience I've ever had.

I have been here for 50 minutes past my appointment time. This is ridiculous and completely unacceptable. Next time I need services like this I will go elsewhere.
