Your nervous system carries tiny electrical signals all over your body. These electrical impulses control everything your body does. They tell your heart to beat, your muscles to move and your lungs to breathe. Each thought you have is a series of tiny electrical impulses in your brain.
Some conditions cause faulty wiring within your nervous system. Neurological illnesses like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, cause problems with your nerves and can affect how well your body responds to the electrical signals from your brain.
At Main Line Health, with office locations throughout the Philadelphia region, our highly trained neurophysiology specialists diagnose and treat conditions affecting your nervous system.
Our doctors use sophisticated diagnostic tests to identify any problems with your nerves. Once we’ve determined a diagnosis, our team works with our neurologists and neurosurgeons to help treat your illness.
