Dr. Carraro, a neurologist at Piedmont HealthCare Lake Norman Neurology in Charlotte discusses spinal taps, or lumbar punctures and how they can be used to diagnose MS. Spinal Taps (Lumbar Punctures) are a procedure where a needle is inserted between two vertebrae at the very base of the spine. The needle is hollow and its purpose is to collect spinal fluid for lab processing.
