Where do i go to get a spinal fluid analysis done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurologist: Spinal fluid is analyzed after removal from the spinal column using a sterile needle tap to the fluid space around the nerve. Neurologists have special training to get this sample and can send it to the proper laboratory for analysis for you.
