  • CT Brain
  • Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography
  • Physical Exam
  • Myelogram
  • Neurological exam
  • Spinal X-ray
  • MRI Brain
  • Spinal MRI
  • Blood Tests
  • Lumbar Puncture

For the diagnosis of neurological conditions, you need to have one or more of the following tests::

  1. Cerebral Angiogram
  2. CT Myelogram
  3. CT Scans
  4. Lumbar Puncture
  5. MRI Scans
  6. X-ray Imaging
  7. Electroencephalogram
  8. Electromyogram
  9. Spinal tap CT

  1. Numbness and pain
  2. Weak grip
  3. Persistent headache/migraine
