Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
By Dr. Robert Savarese and Dr. David Doward
Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
This noninvasive, outpatient exam is used to measure how quickly nerves conduct electrical signals through the body. NCS is a valuable technique for diagnosing nerve damage. If damage exists, NCS can help a physician find its source.
At JOI, Dr. David Doward, and Dr. Robert Savarese perform nerve conduction studies. Dr. Doward is fellowship trained in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Dr. Savarese is board certified by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Board of Pain Medicine.
