Your Mayo Clinic care team may include doctors trained in diagnosing and treating nervous system disorders (neurologists and neurosurgeons), and in repairing damaged bones, muscles and ligaments (orthopedic surgeons). The team also may include doctors trained in restoring function after injury, called rehabilitation specialists, and in treating pain, called anesthesiologists or pain specialists.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Mayo Clinic's highly trained experts combine diagnostic skill and comprehensive treatment. Mayo Clinic experts have state-of-the-art equipment to perform diagnostic tests, such as electromyograms, nerve conduction studies and ultrasounds.
