require a purposeful approach e.g. during nerve or muscle inflammation, epilepsy etc. Electromyography (EMG), Electroneurography, Evoked Potentials can be tested in our praxis. Electroencephalogram (EEG), and Polysomnography (sleep laboratory) can be accomplished by my collaborators in the Clínica PalmaPlanas-Quirón - just beside our office.
Chronic neurological disorders
like e.g. Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer disease, chronic pain syndromes, epilepsy require integral treatment and detailed consultation, which considers the situation of the family and their surroundings.
