EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

An EMG, also known as electromyography, is an electro-diagnostic technique that is used to record and evaluate the electrical activity that is produced by your skeletal muscles. An electromyography is used to produce the record of the test, which is called the electromyogram.

Nerve conduction studies measure the speed of the conduction of the electrical impulse as it travels through the nerve. These studies can effectively determine the extent of nerve damage. The nerve gets stimulated during the test, and there are usually electrode patches attached to the skin of the patient.

Tests are only ordered when we believe they will play a significant role in helping us to come up with an effective treatment plan that will control your pain and make it much more manageable.
