Featured Services

EMG and Nerve Conduction

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate muscle and nerve function by detecting signal transmission abnormalities. The procedure involves applying a small electrical current to the skin and inserting a needle electrode into the muscle to measure activity. While mild discomfort may occur, results help guide treatment plans for neuromuscular conditions.

Neurological

Neurological physical therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals with neurological conditions regain motor skills, balance, and overall physical function. Using techniques such as strength exercises, balance training, and cognitive therapy, it aims to enhance mobility, independence, and quality of life. This therapy benefits those with conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries.

Somatosensory Evoked Potential Study (SSEP)

SSEP checks the ability of the spinal nerves and spinal cord to send sensory signals from the body to the brain. This test is often used for generalized disorders of the nervous system like multiple sclerosis.
