Our Diagnostic Services

Our doctors use the latest technology to diagnose orthopedic problems. The right diagnosis leads to the most effective treatment plan and the best outcomes for your child. Diagnostic services include:

  • Low-dose X-rays: We use the EOS X-ray imaging system to minimize your child’s exposure to harmful radiation. This advanced system produces 3D, full-body images using up to 95 percent less radiation than other imaging methods.
  • Movement analysis: Information from your child’s assessment at the John C. Wilson Jr. Sports and Motion Analysis Lab helps our doctors tailor treatments. Athletes use the lab’s services to prevent and recover from injury. Our motion analysis lab was the first of its kind in Southern California.
