Electroencephalogram (EEG) or Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) can be used to analyze brain function which in turn can provide the clinician with answers to such questions as: the origin of a seizure, the degree of a concussion following head trauma or whether or not there is evidence of early changes consistent with Alzheimer's diseases.

Electromyography (EMG) / Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies that test the integrity of peripheral nerves, nerve roots and muscles. These studies are particularly useful in diagnosing such conditions as entrapment neuropathiues, carpal tunnel, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathies.

Lumbar Puncture A lumbar puncture is a procedure to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It involves inserting a needle between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae in the back and extracting a sample of fluid. This procedure may be done in order to administer dye for diagnostic imaging studies and drain spinal fluid and lower pressure. Click here for more information on Lumbar Punctures....
