Advanced Diagnostic & Treatment Services
EEG
EEG records the brain’s electrical activity and is commonly used to diagnose epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions.
EMG & NCS
EMG and NCS assess nerve and muscle function, helping diagnose peripheral neuropathy, nerve injuries, muscle disorders, and neuromuscular diseases.
Evoked Potentials
Evoked Potential studies measure how the brain responds to visual, auditory, and sensory stimuli, assisting in the diagnosis of conditions affecting the optic nerves, hearing pathways, and spinal cord.
Sleep Studies
Sleep studies evaluate brain activity, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and body movements during sleep to diagnose conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and other sleep disorders.
Botulinum Toxin Therapy
Botulinum Toxin Therapy is used to manage movement disorders, muscle spasticity, dystonia, chronic migraine, and selected neurological conditions, helping improve mobility and quality of life.
Preparation for Neurophysiology Test
Some neurophysiology tests require simple preparation to ensure accurate results. Depending on the test, you may be advised to wash your hair without using oils or sprays, avoid applying lotions before EMG or NCS, continue prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise, and bring your previous medical reports and medication list. Our team will provide detailed instructions before your appointment.
