Numb fingers at night, a weak grip or tingling in your feet can have several causes, and a nerve conduction study is how you find out which one. Dr Arvin Rodrigues, a consultant clinical neurophysiologist and the clinic's founder, performs the test himself in Rossett, interprets it and writes the report — so the person who measured your nerves is the one explaining the result.
Tests take place at Bridge House Clinic, Station Road, Rossett LL12 0HE — south of Chester, with free on-site parking.

What is a nerve conduction test? +
A nerve conduction study measures how fast and how strongly your nerves carry electrical signals. Small sensors are placed on the skin and brief, mild pulses are passed along the nerve. It's usually paired with an EMG, which records the electrical activity inside a muscle through a very fine needle.
What does a nerve conduction test diagnose? +
It helps confirm conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, trapped nerves from the spine (radiculopathy) and some muscle disorders. It also shows how severe nerve compression is, which helps decide whether treatment such as surgery is worthwhile.
Does a nerve conduction test hurt? +
Most people find it uncomfortable rather than painful: each pulse is a brief tingling jolt, and the fine EMG needle gives a short, dull ache while it records. Dr Rodrigues explains each step as he goes.
How much does a nerve conduction test cost? +
An upper-limb study with EMG is £450, a lower-limb study £500 and a combined upper and lower limb study £550. Each fee includes the consultation and Dr Rodrigues's written report. An EEG is £550.
Can I drive after a nerve conduction test? +
Yes. No sedation is used, so you can drive home and carry on with your day afterwards.
What is an EEG test? +
An EEG picks up the brain's electrical activity using small discs attached to the scalp. There are no needles and nothing is passed into you. It's mainly used to investigate seizures, suspected epilepsy and unexplained blackouts.
