We Focus on High-Quality Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)!
At our clinic, we are committed to delivering exceptional nerve conduction studies (NCS) by maintaining the highest standards in accuracy, precision, and patient care. Our approach ensures reliable diagnostic results that aid in effective treatment planning for various neuromuscular conditions, including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Peripheral Neuropathy, and Radiculopathy.
Why Choose Us for Your Nerve Conduction Study?
1. Evidence-Based Results Referenced Against High-Quality Normative Databases
Our results are benchmarked against peer-reviewed normative data, ensuring that every measurement aligns with clinically validated standards. This allows for precise interpretation and minimises false positives or negatives, leading to more reliable diagnoses.
2. Precise Measurements & Electrode Placement for Technical Accuracy
We understand that technical factors can influence results, which is why we take extra care in:
✔ Optimal electrode positioning to ensure consistent and reproducible results.
✔ Using precise distance measurements to calculate conduction velocity accurately.
✔ Minimising external interferences that may affect signal interpretation.
3. Cutting-Edge Equipment & Software for Advanced Testing
We invest in the latest NCS technology, ensuring that our assessments are up-to-date with current medical advancements. Our modern software algorithms help refine signal detection, allowing for clearer differentiation between normal and abnormal nerve function.
4. Personalised Interpretation Based on Patient-Specific Factors
Every patient is unique, and so are their nerve conduction responses. Our experts take into account individual factors such as:
🔹 Age and height (as nerve conduction velocity naturally varies with these).
🔹 Pre-existing conditions that may influence results.
🔹 Anatomical variations that require tailored adjustments for accuracy.
5. Optimised Skin Preparation for Superior Signal Quality
We meticulously prepare the recording and stimulation sites by using:
✔ Mild abrasive paste or gel to enhance electrode contact.
✔ Ensuring low impedance for clearer, more consistent signals.
✔ Reducing signal distortion, which could otherwise affect diagnostic accuracy.
6. Supramaximal Stimulation Without Overstimulation
To ensure optimal nerve response measurement, we:
✔ Use supramaximal stimulation to activate all available nerve fibers.
✔ Avoid overstimulation, which can cause unwanted artifacts or trigger signals from adjacent nerves, potentially leading to misinterpretation.
7. Clear & Comprehensive Reports for Referring Physicians
We pride ourselves on delivering detailed and well-structured reports to our referring doctors, including:
🔹 General Practitioners (GPs)
🔹 Neurologists & Neurosurgeons
🔹 Rheumatologists
🔹 Orthopedic & Hand Surgeons
🔹 Other Medical Specialists
Our reports provide precise findings, clinical relevance, and recommendations, ensuring that referring doctors can quickly and effectively determine the next steps in patient management.
Beyond Testing: A Commitment to Patient Care
Lastly, we believe that patient experience matters just as much as technical accuracy. We take pride in:
🔹Allocating sufficient time for each patient.
🔹 Explaining the process to reduce anxiety and ensure comfort.
🔹 Maintaining a reputation for having an excellent bedside manner!
Conclusion
By combining scientific accuracy, cutting-edge technology, and compassionate care, we deliver the highest quality Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) to ensure the best outcomes for our patients and their healthcare providers.
