Botox or botulinum toxin will help decrease migraine frequency. Therapeutic Botox injections are used to treat chronic migraines, muscle spasticity, cervical dystonia, and other movement disorders. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, reducing involuntary contractions and pain. For chronic migraines, injections are given around the head and neck following a specific protocol approved by the FDA.

Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation that assesses various aspects of cognitive function including memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and executive function. The testing involves a series of standardized assessments administered by trained professionals to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This evaluation is essential for diagnosing conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological disorders aƯecting thinking and memory. Results help guide treatment planning, monitor disease progression, and establish baseline cognitive function. The test is non-invasive and conducted in a quiet, comfortable setting.

An occipital nerve block is a medical injection of anesthetic and/or steroid near the occipital nerves at the back of the head to treat headaches (like migraines, occipital neuralgia, cluster headaches) and neck pain, by temporarily numbing the nerves and reducing inflammation, oƯering temporary relief lasting hours to months, with common side eƯects being temporary numbness, stinging, or slight dizziness, and usually minimal downtime.

A carotid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to examine blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain. This painless procedure helps detect blockages or narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid arteries caused by plaque buildup, which can increase stroke risk. The test evaluates blood flow velocity and identifies any abnormalities in the artery walls. It’s particularly important for patients with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking history, or previous stroke/TIA. The ultrasound is completely safe, requires no needles or contrast dye, and provides real-time images of your carotid arteries.

An echocardiogram is a non-invasive ultrasound test that creates detailed images of your heart’s structure and function. This painless procedure uses sound waves to evaluate heart chambers, valves, blood flow, and pumping strength. It’s essential for detecting heart conditions that may affect neurological health, including identifying potential sources of stroke such as blood clots or heart valve problems. The test helps diagnose various cardiac conditions including heart failure, valve disorders, and structural abnormalities. The procedure is completely safe with no radiation exposure, and provides real-time moving images of your heart in action.

The diagnosis of epilepsy relies on a combination of clinical history taking, EEG and brain imaging. The EEG, or electroencephalogram, is the most important test in the evaluation of individuals presenting with possible seizures or events of unknown nature. Standard EEG captures brain wave patterns during a single session, while Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) with video continuously records brain activity over 24-72 hours to capture intermittent events. These procedures are essential for diagnosing seizures, epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions. The procedures are completely painless and safe, with no electrical current entering your body.

EMG or electromyography is a neurodiagnostic test used to diagnose neurological disorders including but not limited to radiculopathy (nerve impingements), neuropathy, nerve entrapment and neuromuscular disease like myopathy, ALS and muscular dystrophy. A thin needle electrode is inserted through the skin into the muscle to record electrical activity. This test helps diagnose neuromuscular diseases, nerve compression, and muscle disorders. The procedure may cause some discomfort similar to an injection, but it’s generally well-tolerated. Results help determine the location and extent of nerve or muscle damage.

Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a noninvasive medical imaging test that produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body, including the organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels. MRI scanners create images of the body using a large magnet and radio waves. No ionizing radiation is produced during an MRI exam, unlike X-rays. These images give your physician important information in diagnosing your medical condition and planning a course of treatment.
