Neurophysiology in Manchester

At The Alexandra Hospital, Circle Group Cheadle, we offer a comprehensive Neurophysiology Service designed to assess, diagnose, and monitor a variety of neurological conditions. Our expert team of neurophysiologists provides a range of specialised tests and procedures aimed at understanding the function of the nervous system.

• EEG (Electroencephalogram): A test that records electrical activity in the brain, often used to diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions.
• EMG (Electromyography): This test measures the electrical activity in muscles and can help diagnose muscle disorders, nerve problems, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): This procedure measures how well electrical signals move through nerves and can help identify peripheral nerve damage or dysfunction, such as in conditions like diabetic neuropathy or nerve compression.
• Evoked Potentials (EP) These are recordings of the electrical signals produced naturally by your brain in response to stimulation of the eyes, or the nerves in your arms and/or legs. Studies are most commonly used to help in the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis or Optic Neuritis.

• Expert Team: Our neurophysiologists and clinicians are highly trained specialists with experience in a wide range of neurological conditions.
• State-of-the-Art Equipment: We use the latest technology and equipment to provide accurate and reliable results.
• Personalised Care: Each patient receives a tailored approach, ensuring that the appropriate tests and treatments are used for their specific condition.
