Dr. Shamsha A. Velani feels right at home in her new position as assistant clinical professor in the UCLA Department of Neurology’s Neuromuscular Division.
Dr. Velani is a general neurologist who sees patients grappling with neuromuscular problems, ranging from back, arm, or neck pain to weakness, spinal concerns, and inherited muscle and nerve disorders. These are often complex cas- es, many of which have been referred after the patients have seen multiple physicians. In addition to treating patients,
Dr. Velani conducts electromyography (EMG) studies to help diagnose the source of patients’ neuromuscular problems. She also continues to have an interest in epilepsy, particularly as it affects women – including issues of fertility and hormonal changes that accompany the disorder.
