Neurology
Our Comprehensive Neurological Care providers specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves. We work closely with each patient to enhance their quality of life.
Patients typically need a referral from their primary care provider for consultation on specific medical conditions or symptoms. Once we receive a referral, we will contact you directly to schedule your appointment.
Why choose CMC?
CMC’s Comprehensive Neurological Care offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients dealing with neurological conditions impacting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. We offer high-quality services and compassionate care centered on you.
Electromyography (EMG)
Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. If the test picks up a problem, you may be diagnosed with what is called a neuromuscular disorder.
General Neurology
General neurology is the treatment for neurological disorders, including dementia and cognitive disorders, migraines, MS, seizure disorders, movement disorders and Parkinson’s disease, amongst others.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Nerve signals are electrical impulses that travel quickly throughout your nervous system. Sometimes, problems with the electrical activity in your nerves can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in your muscles. NCS measures how fast and how strong the electrical activity is in a nerve. The test can tell whether a nerve has been damaged.
Botox® Treatment For Chronic Migraines
- Botox injections for chronic migraines.
- Botox injections for muscle spasticity after strokes.

SPG Block
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block (SPG Block) can provide relief from migraines and other types of headache and facial pain. SPG Block is a procedure where concentrated lidocaine, a pain reliever, is delivered through the nose and applied directly to the group of nerves that causes these headaches. Relief is often immediate and last for weeks or months without the need for other injections or medicines.
SPG Block is effective for the treatment of migraines. It can also help other symptoms associated with severe headaches, like nausea.
The procedure takes about 20 minutes, is virtually pain free and has no required preparation. SPG is about 90 percent effective and can be repeated as needed to reduce pain.
Speech Therapy for people with Parkinson's
SPEAK OUT!® and The LOUD Crowd® is a two-part speech therapy program that helps individuals with Parkinson’s regain and maintain effective communication.
SPEAK OUT!® teaches patients to speak with intent. Upon completion of SPEAK OUT!®, patients transition to The LOUD Crowd®. This is a weekly maintenance group that provides support, encouragement and accountability. Participation in SPEAK OUT® and The LOUD Crowd® has been shown to help patients with Parkinson's maintain their communication skills.
