Diagnostic Testing and Procedures
Testing, Diagnosis, and Treatments
From the non-invasive Electromyography (EMG) that assesses the functionality of nerves and muscles, to the fascinating Electroencephalogram (EEG) that provides insights into brain activity, our diagnostic tests offer valuable information for identifying neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. Additionally, our Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests delve into the intricacies of the nervous system, while our Home Sleep Apnea Test allows for convenient monitoring of sleep health. We also provide effective treatments like Carpal Tunnel Injections, Occipital Nerve Blocks, Trigger Point Injections, and Botox Injections to alleviate pain and improve overall quality of life.
Electromyography (EMG)
Electromyography (EMG) is a non-invasive technique that measures and records the electrical activity of your muscles and nerves. By placing electrodes on the skin, our skilled neurologists can assess the functionality and health of your nerves and muscles. EMG is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as nerve damage, muscle disorders, and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. With EMG, we gain valuable insights into your neuromuscular system, enabling us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An EEG, short for Electroencephalogram, is a fascinating diagnostic tool that offers valuable insights into the electrical activity happening within your brain. By placing electrodes on your scalp, EEG measures and records the electrical impulses produced by the neurons in your brain. This non-invasive procedure helps us detect and diagnose various neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain tumors. With the ability to capture brainwave patterns, an EEG opens a window into the complexities of the human mind, aiding our doctors in their quest for accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Test
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Tests allow our doctors to delve deep into the intricate pathways of your nervous system, deciphering its messaging speed and integrity. By analyzing how electrical impulses travel along your nerves, NCV tests aid neurologists in diagnosing and monitoring a spectrum of conditions like peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve injuries. With precision and expertise, the neurologist at Gandhi Neurology entrust NCV tests to unravel the mysteries of your nervous system, paving the path towards accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

Carpal Tunnel Injections
Occipital Nerve Blocks
Occipital Nerve Blocks are a breakthrough technique utilized by our skilled neurologists to manage and alleviate chronic headaches and migraines. By precisely injecting local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory medications into the occipital nerves located at the back of the head, this innovative treatment targets the source of your pain. Experience the transformative power of Occipital Nerve Blocks as they provide long-lasting relief and improve your overall quality of life. Trust in our dedicated team of experts to administer this safe and effective procedure, guiding you towards a future of renewed vitality and freedom from the constraints of chronic head pain.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger Point Injections are a specialized treatment method employed by our neurologists to address the pain and discomfort caused by trigger points. These injections are meticulously administered into specific trigger points, which are tight knots of muscle that can cause pain and restricted movement. By precisely targeting these trigger points, we aim to alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and restore proper function. With their expertise and dedication, the neurologists at Gandhi Neurology utilize Trigger Point Injections as part of their comprehensive approach to provide accurate diagnoses and effective solutions, empowering patients on their journey towards relief and recovery.
Botox Injections
Botox is a proven solution in the treatment of chronic migraine, spasticity, and cervical dystonia. Our skilled neurologists have harnessed the power of Botox injections to provide groundbreaking relief for these conditions. By targeting the source of your pain with precision, Botox offers a transformative experience that improves your overall quality of life. Trust in our dedicated team of experts to administer this safe and effective procedure, guiding you towards a future filled with renewed vitality and freedom from the constraints of chronic head pain.
