Neuromuscular Disorder Evaluation

Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control muscles or the muscles themselves, and they may cause weakness, numbness, tingling, cramping, or pain. Patients often seek an evaluation after noticing unexplained muscle fatigue, changes in coordination, or nerve-related symptoms, whether after an injury, with repetitive strain, or gradually over time. In general, an evaluation aims to help determine whether symptoms may be related to nerve compression, a muscle problem, or another condition.

Your Evaluation

A Provider on our team evaluates neuromuscular symptoms as part of the practice's neurology, electrodiagnostic testing, and orthopedic injury evaluation services.

Diagnostic Tools

Depending on the evaluation, one or more of the following may be used:

EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — electrodiagnostic tests that may help assess nerve and muscle function.
Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
Diagnostic Ultrasound — soft-tissue imaging that may inform evaluation and treatment planning.
Computerized Range-of-Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion.

What to Expect

An evaluation may include a review of symptoms and history, a physical and neurological examination, and, when considered appropriate, electrodiagnostic or imaging studies. Findings are recorded in the practice's electronic health records. We accept many insurance plans, including major medical insurance, HMO plans with a referral, No-Fault, and Workers' Compensation. Coverage varies by plan, so please call the office to confirm yours.
