Diagnosing a neurological condition
We offer a range of diagnostic tests and services to ensure we are able to accurately diagnose and treat patients. These tests include:
Electromyography (EMG) testing and nerve conduction studies
EMG testing and nerve conduction studies are used to detect nerve and muscle conditions. An EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles, and the nerve conduction study measures the speed and intensity of electrical signals that travel along nerves.
These two tests provide useful information about the health of your muscles and nerves. They can help detect the cause of problems such as weakness, numbness, spasms or pain. EMG and nerve conduction studies are able to determine if the problem involves the spinal nerve roots, peripheral nerves or muscles.
Treatments we offer
Our specialists offer treatments for neurological conditions, including:
Botulinum toxin (“Botox”) injections
Botulinum toxin injections are commonly referred to as “Botox,” which is a popular brand for this type of injection. The toxin is actually a protein produced by bacteria and is used in small doses to treat muscle spasms and other neurological conditions.
To administer the injection, a physician uses a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of the toxin into specific muscles to help relax the muscle and reduce muscle contractions. Botox injections require no “down time,” which means you are able to drive, return to work and resume normal activities the same day as receiving the injections.
Dr. Rehman is caring and kind. She listens to the whole issue and took the time to explain what medications could be used and how to notice what’s working and what isn’t! Highly recommend!
