Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
At Healia Diagnostics, we offer Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) as part of our advanced diagnostic services to help identify and assess nerve and muscle disorders.
NCS is a crucial test used to evaluate the health of your peripheral nerves and diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, and nerve injuries.
What is a Nerve Conduction Study?
A Nerve Conduction Study measures the speed and strength of electrical signals as they travel through your nerves. The test involves placing small electrodes on the skin over the nerves that need to be studied. A mild electrical impulse is then delivered, and the response is measured. This helps our specialists understand how well your nerves are functioning and whether there is any damage.

What to Expect During the Test?
The NCS procedure is simple, non-invasive, and typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The test may cause some mild discomfort or a tingling sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated by patients. After the test, our specialists will review the results and discuss the next steps for your treatment.
Why Regular Testing is Important?
For those at risk of nerve disorders or experiencing symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain in the limbs, regular NCS testing is essential for early detection and intervention. Early diagnosis can significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the risk of permanent nerve damage.
