Get precise answers without extra travel. With advanced MRI imaging and EMG nerve testing available directly at our offices, our physicians can evaluate soft tissue damage, nerve compression, and joint issues on-site to start your personalized treatment plan right away.
Getting the right diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At Midwest Orthopaedic Consultants, we offer advanced imaging and nerve/muscle testing directly at our Orland Park and Oak Lawn offices so you don’t have to schedule a separate appointment at an outside facility.
Faster answers. Less inconvenience. And a treatment plan your physician can start building the same day.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) gives our physicians a detailed look at your joints, soft tissue, and spine — without radiation. It’s one of the most valuable tools in orthopaedic medicine for understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.
You’ll lie still on a padded table that slides into the MRI scanner. The scan typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. During the scan, you’ll hear a series of tapping and buzzing sounds — that’s normal. You’ll be given the option of hearing protection or a stereo headset, and our technician will speak with you throughout the process to keep you informed of where things stand.
If you have concerns about enclosed spaces or have metal implants of any kind, please let us know in advance. We’ll make sure you have all the information you need to feel prepared.
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are used to evaluate the electrical activity of your muscles and the function of your peripheral nerves. These tests help our physicians diagnose conditions that imaging alone can’t always detect.
An EMG typically involves two parts. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on the skin and a mild electrical impulse is used to measure how your nerves respond. During the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is briefly inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity at rest and during movement.
The test is performed by one of our physicians and usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. Some patients experience mild discomfort during the needle portion, but most tolerate it well. Your physician will walk you through what to expect before the test begins.
When imaging and testing happen in the same practice as your orthopaedic care, everything moves faster. Your physician reviews your results directly, in context, and can discuss your findings with you at your next visit rather than routing results through a separate facility. For workers’ compensation patients, on-site MRI and EMG services can also be authorized and performed without leaving the practice, reducing delays in return-to-work timelines.

I have always had a good experience with this facility. Dr Leonard is the best!! He takes the time to listen and explain everything. He is always very pleasant!! The physical therapy dept is also the best. I wouldn’t choose another facility or doctor. Thank you Dr Leonard for being such a great surgeon and a great person!
Wonderful experience with Dr. George Branovacki patient, knowledgeable, caring in my opinion one of the best. I will refer him to anyone that needs a great Orthopedic Doctor.
I saw Dr. Redondo was great. He explained everything and was easy to understand! I highly recommend him!
Very good experience. The Staff was very professional and experienced. I received a X-rays,a diagnostic assessment and treatment all in one visit, in a little over 90 minutes, amazing. I woke up this morning feeling like a different person. No knee pain at all. Great work Dr.Branovacki!
What a great experience. Dr. Stanford is amazing. Knowledgeable, professional and caring. A great listener that cares about your concerns. She answered all my questions and explained the procedure being done in the office and what to expect in the future. I have complete confidence in Dr. Stanford and the staff of Midwest Orthopaedic.
Dr Branovacki was good at explaining my condition and the options I had. Very friendly and even funny. Only negative I have to say is it would have been nice to receive some information paperwork in regards to treatment and future plan of treatment and a summary of my visit to get a better understanding of everything. The staff was wonderful, the nurse and NP kasia was also very patient and friendly
