Our Services
Our Neurology Department offers the following services:
EEG
An EEG or electroencephalogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the brain. This test is used to evaluate a variety of disorders, including seizures, infections of the central nervous system, head trauma, brain tumors, and such degenerative disorders as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease.
EMG
An EMG or electromyography is a recording of the electrical activity in muscles. Testing of nerve conduction is often included in this study as well. EMG testing can help your doctor discover the cause of extent of muscle weakness, spasms, paralysis, or pain in the arms, hands, legs, or face. In addition, other neurological disease processes affecting the spinal cord or the nerve-muscle junction can be detected and evaluated.
