Our ARP Lab Services

Our ARP Lab is staffed by a compassionate team of experts who tend to various anorectal-related conditions, including constipation, fecal incontinence, rectal cancer, rectal pain and prolapse. We aim to make your testing as comfortable as possible, so we will prepare you for what you can expect and guide you throughout your care.

  • Anal Manometry

    Anal manometry is a non-invasive procedure that allows us to evaluate sensation and reflex to rule out Hirschsprung’s disease and help determine the cause of fecal incontinence.

  • Biofeedback

    During biofeedback, also known as pelvic floor muscle retraining, we can manipulate muscle strength by visually representing muscle activity.

  • Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    Dynamic MRI allows us to visualize and compare the pelvic floor at rest to the pelvic floor at a maximum push.

  • Electromyography (EMG)

    We can test the nerves that stimulate the sphincter muscles and for pelvic outlet dysfunction with EMG.

  • Endorectal Ultrasound (ERUS)

    We’re the first in Colorado to offer 3D ERUS. This state-of-the-art ultrasound technology gives a 360-degree visualization of the sphincter muscle, giving us unsurpassed detail of tumors, abscesses and fistulas.
