Nerve conduction study: Many peripheral disorders of nerves can be detected by passing small amount of electric current through individual nerves and recording the signal generated. This test is generally painless and extremely useful in the diagnosis of nerve disease.

Electromyography: This test can greatly enhance nerve conduction studies by studying individual muscle groups. The test involves insertion of thin, acupuncture-like needles superficially into selected muscles to visualize muscle patterns that reflect the state of the nerve and/or muscle and lead to accurate diagnosis. Many disorders of neck and low back pain can be evaluated with this technique. This test is slightly uncomfortable but usually tolerable.

Electroencephalography: Using surface scalp electrodes, the electric brain waves are recorded. This test is essential in detecting abnormal brain electric activity such as seizures. This test in painless and non-invasive.

Botulinum Toxin Therapy: Botulinum toxin Or Botox, is a very effective method for treating various neurological disorders including, muscle spasticity from stroke, brain injury, MS, intractable headaches, tremors, excessive sweating, etc.

IVIG: Intravenous Immunoglobulin therapy is an infusion of immunoglobulins or antibodies. This therapy can be very effective in treatment of neuromuscular conditions such as Myasthenia Gravis, various neuropathies such as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Occasionally, debilitating MS and other intractable neurological conditions can be alleviated with IVIG.

Trigger point injections: This therapy involves pinpoint injections of nerve blocks or corticosteroids into areas of inflammation or nerve impingement that cause shooting pain such as seen in occipital neuralgia.

MRI/MRA Interpretation: MRI images of the brain and spinal cord are essential in the diagnosis of neurological disease.
