As we all age, our bodies change. Our hair thins, our vision dims, our joints wear, and our spinal discs thin and undergo degeneration. However, just because a disc shows signs of aging, it does not necessarily mean it is causing your back pain.
Dr. Wei is retiring and will be closing his office on August 15, 2022. Therefore, he is not accepting new patients at this time.
It was a pleasure and honor to help all of his previous patients with their healthcare needs.

Please call your insurance company to verify coverage. Thank you!
As we all age, our bodies change. Our hair thins, our vision dims, our joints wear, and our spinal discs thin and undergo degeneration. However, just because a disc shows signs of aging, it does not necessarily mean it is causing your back pain.
As we go about our daily lives, we use our bodies to get things done - yard work, sports, or just getting dressed in the morning. We use our joints. Just as with our cars, over time the parts begin to wear out. What can you do to keep your "car" running?
The human body is an amazing machine. It works on mechanical principles, chemical reactions, and electrical circuits. Our brain, nerves, and muscles work on electrical impulses; an EMG/NCS is useful in determining disease or injury in these body parts.
