Electrodiagnostic Testing

Electrodiagnostic Testing

Electrodiagnostic testing measures the electrical activity of nerves and muscles. It is commonly considered when a patient has numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that may be related to a nerve or muscle problem. At Complete Care, this testing is offered as part of a broader evaluation.

What the Testing Involves

• EMG (Electromyography) — records electrical activity in muscles, which can show signs of nerve or muscle dysfunction.
• Nerve Conduction Studies — measure how electrical signals travel along specific nerves.

Testing is performed with EMG and nerve conduction equipment at the practice.

Who Performs the Evaluation

A Provider on our team performs electrodiagnostic testing as part of the practice's neurology and pain management care. Results may be considered together with X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans when additional information is needed.

When This Testing May Be Recommended

• Persistent numbness or tingling — which can, in some cases, be related to nerve compression or irritation.
• Unexplained muscle weakness — testing may help distinguish nerve-related from muscle-related causes.
• Symptoms after an injury — when nerve involvement is suspected.

Whether testing is appropriate is decided after an individual evaluation. We accept many insurance plans, including major medical, HMO plans with a referral, No-Fault, and Workers' Compensation. Coverage varies by plan, so please call the office to confirm yours.
