SOUND FAMILIAR?
Tingling, loss of strength, hands going numb or a referral with a name that means nothing to you. It is normal to arrive with questions: that is why we explain it.
You don’t need to know which test is yours: tell us what you’ve been asked for and we will guide you.

We work with
ON THE DAY OF THE TEST
It is done in clinic, as an outpatient. How long it takes depends on how many nerves and muscles need testing; we give you an estimate when booking.
We review your symptoms and history to decide which nerves and muscles are worth testing.
With electrodes and brief stimuli we measure how the signal travels along the nerve. It feels like a small pulse.
If indicated, a fine needle records the activity of specific muscles. It may be uncomfortable for a moment.
What was tested, what it means for your case and the next step with your doctor.
Before you come
“Tell us if something is very uncomfortable or if you need a break: we adjust the pace with you.”
Tell us about all your medication, especially anticoagulants. Don’t stop any treatment on your own.
Tell us if you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted device.
Come with clean skin, no creams, and loose clothing that lets us uncover the area.
WITH YOUR INSURANCE
When booking, tell us your insurer and which test you’ve been referred for. We will confirm how it is handled before you come.
