EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies

EMG and nerve conduction studies are electrodiagnostic tests used to evaluate how nerves and muscles are functioning. They may help assess the source of symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or radiating pain, and they are sometimes used when imaging alone does not explain a patient's symptoms.

What This Testing May Help Assess

Nerve compression — such as a pinched nerve in the neck, back, wrist, or leg.
Muscle dysfunction — conditions affecting how muscles respond.
Neuromuscular disorders — conditions involving nerves and muscles.
Nerve injury — possible nerve involvement after an accident or injury.

Clinical Oversight

Testing is overseen by a Provider on our team as part of the practice's neurology and pain management care. Results are considered together with the rest of the evaluation when a diagnosis and treatment plan are discussed.

This page is for general information only and is not medical advice. Whether a test or treatment is appropriate for you depends on an individual evaluation.
