Fatigue, behavioral symptoms and cognitive symptoms are recognized as serious components of the MS syndrome. Patients with MS suffer from a myriad of symptoms involving the motor, sensory, visual and cerebellar systems. Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other demyelinating disorders are major causes of neurological disability. Muscle and skin biopsies are also performed to enhance the specificity of our diagnoses. Laboratory tests include electromyography (EMG), Single Fiber-EMG, as well as routine and advanced nerve conduction studies. These specialists are internationally recognized for their expertise in diagnosis and management of these complex diseases of the muscles.Īdvanced diagnostic strategies are critical in treatment planning for neuromuscular disorders. We have neurologists that specialize in peripheral neuropathy, myopathies, Lou Gehrig’s disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and myasthenia gravis.
