Neurology
Unity Health’s Neurology program provides care for patients with a variety of neurological diseases and disorders.
Neurology at St. Joseph's Health Centre
The clinic is staffed by a specialist in disorders of the nervous system including the brain. The clinic provides assessments and consultations for problems like seizure disorders, headaches, stroke, neuromuscular disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

Ambulatory Care Centre: Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Booking/registration: 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
In St. Joseph’s Neurophysiology Laboratory, our team of highly experienced technologists and neurologists perform electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) testing. EEGs are primarily used to detect seizures/epilepsy. EMGs, together with a neurology consultation, are used to diagnose diseases of the peripheral nerves and muscles.

The Neuromuscular Clinic at St. Michael’s Hospital provides comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system, including diseases of the nerves, neuromuscular junction and muscle.
Our team delivers individualized care plans that support patients with a wide range of conditions; from common problems like carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica, to complex disorders such as inflammatory and inherited nerve and muscle diseases and myasthenia gravis. Patients will have electrophysiological testing as part of their visit. Testing offered in our laboratory includes routine nerve conduction studies, needle electromyography, repetitive nerve stimulation and single fibre EMG.
Please note that we do not evaluate disorders of the central nervous system (e.g. headache, epilepsy, tremor, Parkinsonism, cognitive complaints, MS) and we do not practice pain management.
Neurophysiology Lab tests allow assessment of brain and peripheral nerve function for accurate diagnosis and management of many neurological disorders. They provide objective measures of severity and clues to the underlying diagnosis.
The tests performed are:
- Nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG)
These tests are done to diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle problems, from common problems like carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica to complex disorders such as inflammatory and inherited nerve and muscle diseases and myasthenia gravis. - Electroencephalography (EEG)
This test is done for assessment of patients with impaired consciousness, possible or known epilepsy or cognitive impairment. - Evoked Potentials (EP)
These tests are done to assess sensory pathways (visual, auditory and/or sensation from the hands and feet). They are done most often in the context of inflammatory diseases of the nervous system such as MS but also in the case of trauma or compression.
