MS: Diagnosis
At NeuroHealth, we work with you from the beginning to understand your symptoms, establish or verify a diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment. Diagnosis begins with a discussion of your full medical history, and neurological and physical exams.

One of the most frustrating things about this disease is the fact that it is very difficult to diagnose. There is currently no single test available to identify or rule out MS. Several tests and procedures are needed. The most commonly performed lab tests are: MRI scan, lumbar puncture and measuring "evoked potentials." Other diagnostic tests may include blood work, Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS), Electromyography (EMG) and Electroencephalography (EEG).
