Westchase MRI & Diagnostic Imaging Center
Expert Evaluation for Nerve, Muscle, and Neurological Symptoms
At Westchase MRI & Diagnostic Imaging Center, we provide neurological consultation services to help evaluate symptoms related to the nervous system, muscles, and nerve function. If you are experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, nerve pain, or unexplained neurological symptoms, our team can help guide the diagnostic process with clinical evaluation and advanced testing.
Our neurological consultation services work closely with our diagnostic imaging capabilities and may include Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) when appropriate.
What Is a Neurological Consultation?
A neurological consultation is a specialized evaluation focused on conditions affecting the:
- Brain
- Spinal cord
- Peripheral nerves
- Muscles
- Neuromuscular system
This type of consultation helps identify the possible cause of symptoms such as nerve pain, muscle weakness, balance problems, or abnormal sensation.
Symptoms That May Require a Neurological Consultation
You may benefit from a neurological consultation if you are experiencing:
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Muscle weakness
- Nerve pain or burning sensations
- Chronic neck or back pain with radiating symptoms
- Sciatica
- Carpal tunnel symptoms
- Balance or coordination problems
- Persistent pain after injury or accident
- Suspected nerve compression or nerve damage
Conditions Commonly Evaluated
Neurological consultation may help assess conditions such as:
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Radiculopathy
- Sciatica
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Pinched nerves
- Nerve injuries
- Muscle disorders
- Weakness related to nerve dysfunction
- Cervical or lumbar nerve compression
EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies
As part of the neurological evaluation process, we may perform:
Electromyography (EMG)
EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles and helps identify abnormalities related to nerve or muscle disorders.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
NCS evaluate how well and how fast electrical signals move through your nerves. This test helps detect nerve damage or dysfunction.
These tests are commonly used to help evaluate:
- Numbness and tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Pinched nerves
- Neuropathy
- Radiculopathy

Our goal is to help identify the source of your symptoms and support the next steps in care.
Integrated Diagnostic Support
Because neurological symptoms often overlap with spine, muscle, and injury-related conditions, access to imaging is important. Our center can support the consultation process with advanced diagnostic services such as:
- MRI for brain, spine, and soft tissue evaluation
- CT scans when appropriate
- X-ray for structural assessment
- Ultrasound for select vascular or soft tissue concerns
- EMG/NCS for nerve and muscle function testing
This integrated approach helps improve efficiency and supports more accurate diagnosis.
Neurological Consultation for Injury-Related Symptoms
Patients who have been involved in an auto accident, workplace injury, or other trauma may develop symptoms such as:
- Radiating pain
- Numbness
- Weakness
- Neck and back pain
- Suspected nerve injury
Neurological consultation can help evaluate these symptoms and determine whether additional imaging or nerve testing is needed.
