Our team of expert physicians diagnose and treat the following conditions:

  • Spinal cord disorders
  • ALS
  • Nerve plexus injuries
  • Nerve root problems
  • Neuropathies
  • Myasthenia gravis

To help with diagnosis, St. Elizabeth’s team is highly skilled at performing and evaluating the full range of standard tests and advanced studies available only in a limited number of other Boston-area hospitals.

Tests available in our neurophysiology lab include:

  • EEG (electroencephalogram), used predominately for diagnosing seizure disorders
  • EMG (electromyography), assesses the health of the muscles and the nerves that control them
  • EP (evoked potential), evaluates sensory nerve signals through the eye, spinal cord and brain and used primarily in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
  • Skin Biopsies
