Neurology, Neurodiagnostic and Pain Clinic
Chock Tsering, M.D.
His background and qualifications:
Dr. Tsering, who is a board-certified neurologist, had his training at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, MO.
As a neurologist, Dr. Tsering is highly trained to treat disorders of the nervous system, which include diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Some common problems that neurologists diagnose and treat are strokes, epilepsy (seizures), headaches, dementias (Alzheimer's disease), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and various forms of pain. Neurologists may serve as consultants to other physicians and may provide long-term care to patients with chronic neurological disorders.
Following his training in neurology, Dr. Tsering went to specialize further in the field of neuromuscular disease and neurophysiological testings at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. He is certified by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
Because of his training in electrodiagnostic medicine, he is especially qualified to evaluate diseases of the peripheral nervous system and muscle diseases by means of EMG and nerve conduction studies. Some examples of these conditions include peripheral neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathies or "pinched nerve in the spine", nerve injuries from accidents or trauma, and muscle diseases such as myositis and muscular dystrophies.
After gaining extensive experience and knowledge in managing patients with chronic pain, Dr. Tsering also became certified in pain medicine. As both a neurologist and pain specialist, he is in an ideal position to diagnose and treat different, chronic and intractable painful conditions because all pain is mediated through nervous system.
Prior to coming to the U.S., Dr. Tsering had trained in internal medicine and neurology in England. He became a member of the Royal College of Physicians of United Kingdom. During his neurology residency and fellowship training, he found time to do basic laboratory research with superiors and colleagues, resulting in many publications.
