Salvus Neurophysiology Centre
Our Neurophysiology Centre offers advanced diagnostic testing to assess the function of the nervous system and muscles. Using state-of-the-art equipment and experienced technicians/physiologists, we provide accurate, timely results to help diagnose neuropathies, neuromuscular disorders, seizures, hearing and brainstem function issues, autonomic disorders, and more.
Core services (tests performed)
- Nerve Conduction Studies (NCV/ NCS)
- Measures speed and strength of electrical signals in peripheral nerves to diagnose neuropathy, entrapment (e.g., carpal tunnel), demyelination, axonal injury.
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Needle EMG evaluates electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction to detect myopathies, motor neuron disease, radiculopathy, and denervation/reinnervation.
- Electroencephalography (EEG)
- Scalp EEG records brain electrical activity to evaluate seizures, encephalopathy, sleep disorders, and altered mental status.
- Video EEG (vEEG)
- Continuous synchronized EEG with video monitoring for seizure characterization, differential diagnosis of spells, presurgical epilepsy evaluation, and treatment guidance.
- Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry / BERA (ABR)
- Objective test of auditory nerve and brainstem pathways for hearing evaluation, newborn screening follow-up, and assessing brainstem function.
- Sympathetic Skin Response (SSR) / Autonomic Reflex Testing
- Assesses small fiber and autonomic function by measuring sweat-related skin responses; useful for autonomic neuropathy and small-fiber disorders.
- Other nerve and muscle tests
- Repetitive Nerve Stimulation (RNS) for neuromuscular junction disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis)
- F-wave and H-reflex studies for proximal nerve and nerve-root assessment
- Quantitative sensory testing (QST) as available
- Specialized motor and sensory conduction protocols as required
Who we serve
- Patients with numbness, tingling, weakness, muscle pain, twitching or cramping
- Suspected peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease
- Seizure assessment and epilepsy evaluation
- Hearing pathway and newborn hearing follow-up
- Autonomic dysfunction and small-fiber neuropathy
Preparation & what to expect
- Bring referral, ID, medication list, prior relevant reports/imaging
- Wear loose, short-sleeved clothing; avoid lotions/creams on day of test
- Some tests may require temporary medication adjustments—follow clinician instructions
- NCV/EMG: typically 30–90 minutes; EMG involves small needle insertions and transient discomfort
- EEG/vEEG: EEG ~30–60 minutes; vEEG may require prolonged/overnight monitoring
- BERA: noninvasive, quick; usually 20–45 minutes
- SSR and autonomic tests: typically brief, sometimes part of a longer autonomic battery
- Results: interpreted by a board-certified neurophysiologist/neurologist; report sent to referring clinician—discuss results with your provider for treatment planning
Safety & comfort
- All procedures are non-surgical and generally safe; risks and sensations (temporary discomfort, minor bruising with EMG) will be explained
- Trained staff ensure patient comfort and privacy throughout testing
