Accurate Diagnosis
Electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing is an excellent tool to evaluate numerous conditions such as diabetes, nerve injuries, limb pain, carpal tunnel, and muscle weakness.

Nerve conduction velocity testing is a very sensitive and quantitative study allowing objectification of your clinical findings. A significant number of diabetic patients present asymptomatically. NCV testing has been proven to diagnose peripheral neuropathies in asymptomatic patients, allowing for early intervention and significantly better outcomes. Periodic testing of diabetic patients will allow the physician to determine and follow the success of controlling patients’ blood glucose levels by determining the integrity of the peripheral nerves. By determining the degree of neuropathy, especially in the lower extremities, the severity of the disease can be evaluated and predicted along with morbidity and mortality.

Also, there are many causes for neuropathy other than diabetes. Electrodiagnostic testing can often differentiate a radiculopathy from a neuropathy and can classify a primarily axonal from a demyelinating process. Today, we need to consider HIV and Lyme Disease as possible ideology of neuropathy.

Early detection is important in developing a treatment plan than can possibly reverse the neuropathy. Ancillary testing, such as NVC and EMG, have been shown to be more sensitive than a clinical examination and can be essential to providing objective findings and confirming the diagnosis.

Document and Substantiate Findings
You are now able to add highly trained and qualified technicians to your practice. Atlas' technicians are experts in administering EDX testing for nerve conduction velocity studies and somatosensory evoked potentials, and musculoskeletal ultrasounds. Electromyogram tests (EMGs) are performed by M.D.s in limited geographic areas.

Atlas thoroughly understands your practice's challenges and needs. When patients present subjective complaints and symptoms, you want to be able to easily quantify them and objectify them to provide accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans. Trained technicians do the tests under your Supervision and our Board-Certified Neurologists and Radiologists interpret your patients’ testing data. All reports are thorough and individual, and our physicians are available to you to review findings with you.

Patient Retention and Continuity of Care
Performing tests and therapies in your office gives you a competitive advantage in providing convenient care within your practice, rather than referring your patients to a hospital, laboratory, or rehabilitation facility.

Atlas will not disrupt your existing practice. We can add turn-key on-site electrodiagnostic testing to your practice virtually immediately.

Convenient and Effortless
Tests can be performed in your office almost immediately after the paperwork is in your scheduling department. In addition, testing can be arranged for whenever it is convenient for you. Moreover, your patients can be tested in the comfort of your facility, increasing patients' convenience and compliance.

Create A New Profit Center
You collect the revenue for the technical component of the testing procedure for overseeing the process in your office. Offering your patients an efficient means of receiving medically necessary diagnostic testing, expands your scope of services and establishes a new profit center for your practice.

Instead of referring patients to other clinics, hospitals or outside diagnostic centers, consider keeping them in your own practice.
