Services
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treats depression and OCD using non-invasive magnetic pulses. This FDA-cleared therapy targets mood-regulating brain regions without anesthesia. Sessions last 20-30 minutes, allowing immediate return to daily activities. We offer this at Libertyville and Kenosha locations for treatment-resistant conditions.
EMG Testing
Electromyography (EMG) evaluates nerve and muscle function for symptoms like weakness or numbness. Our neurologists diagnose conditions including neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome. Testing combines nerve conduction studies with muscle electrode placement to identify neuromuscular disorders accurately.
Botox Therapy
Botox injections treat chronic migraines and muscle spasms by blocking nerve signals. Sessions require no downtime, lasting under 30 minutes. Our specialists use this FDA-approved treatment to reduce migraine frequency and alleviate neuromuscular pain effectively.
Neuropsychological Testing
Comprehensive assessments measure memory, attention, and emotional functioning for accurate diagnoses. We use testing to differentiate between neurological and psychiatric conditions, guiding personalized treatment plans for ADHD, memory issues, and mental health disorders.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Our therapists use bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing memories, reducing emotional impact through structured sessions tailored to individual healing needs.
