Stories
Jadon
MRI explained a young athlete’s loss of feeling
When Jadon lost feeling in his arm during water polo and physical therapy did not help, Dr. Sharma at Sierra Pacific ordered an MRI. It revealed a spinal-cord syrinx linked to a Chiari malformation, leading to surgery and a return to sport.

Imaging helped guide treatment for a painful knee
Years of firefighting had left Jennifer with knee pain that limited cycling and hiking. MRI and X-rays showed substantial cartilage loss, and Dr. Gill recommended a partial knee replacement. About a year later, she reported being back on her bike and the trails.
