Why Choose Us?

There is no one test which says a person has MS. Unfortunately, the process can be difficult and time consuming, as each person's case of MS is different and presents with different symptoms.

The Neurologist will assess a person's medical history, perform a thorough examination and detail their history and symptoms, before making a formal diagnosis.

In most cases, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan is performed on the brain and spinal cord. This type of scan shows pictures of the inflammation and areas of scar tissue, in the CNS. In some cases, evoked potentials (nerve transmission speed) may be measured and/or a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) may be required.
