Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are done to detect and evaluate damage to the peripheral nervous system, which includes all the nerves that lead away from the brain and spinal cord. NCS’s are often used to help diagnose nerve disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or Guillian-Barre syndrome.

Candidates for NCS’s include but are not limited to:

• Patients with acute back or neck pain
• Paresthesia / numbness or tingling
• Weakness in the extremities or limbs
• Gait disturbance

NCS ADAVTAGES:

• Non-invasive , side effect free diagnostic service
• No Radiation, dyes or chemicals
• Patients will be able to receive extended care based on medical necessity
• Patients will have an improved understanding of their condition
• Provides enhanced study of soft tissue injuries / pathologies
• Able to document and substantiate nerve damage and impairment
• Convenient delivery in-office or at healthcare facility for patient

Ultrasound & EchoOver the last several years technical advancements have made cardiac ultrasound a realistic and essential diagnostic tool for every medical facility. LIJ Medical Testing have the most current and technologically advanced equipment on the market.

Doppler Ultrasound is an effective, non-invasive alternative to procedures such as arteriography and venography. Doppler Ultrasound can assist physicians detect and evaluate blood clots, venous insufficiency, heart valve defects, arterial occlusion and stenosis, carotid / aortic aneurysm, and help monitor arterial reconstruction and bypass grafts.

Many doctors recommend a series of three tests to screen for cardiovascular disease:

• Carotid
• Abdominal Aorta

Vascular Ultrasound may be indicated for patients who are:

• 55 and older
