Not all neurological issues originate in the brain or spine. Millions of nerve endings run through your body — and any one of them can become inflamed or injured, affecting your strength, pain, and coordination. EMG is the most reliable way to find out which one.
An EMG is a form of nerve testing used to measure the function of your nerves and muscles. It can diagnose and identify the source of your pain — and it's actually two tests run back to back, each looking at a different part of how your nerves and muscles work together.
Electrode placement · Wrist
Small electrodes are placed over the skin near the nerve being tested. Each placement is brief and guided by a trained technologist, so you always know what to expect next.
Patients benefit from a specialist's advanced knowledge and experience managing specific, complex conditions.
Specialty care offers personalized treatment plans built on the latest research and techniques.
Access to specialized care leads to better health outcomes, especially for chronic or complex cases.
The NCV measures the speed of the electrical impulse as it travels down a nerve — essentially checking the health of the nerve's outer lining. A healthy nerve conducts that signal quickly and consistently.
Once we know how quickly your nerve responds, we can confirm or rule out specific conditions. NCV is the most reliable test for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome and many other nerve-related pain conditions.
The EMG evaluates abnormal muscle function by looking at how your muscles and nerves interface with each other in real time.
If nerve irritation or a muscle-affecting disorder is behind your symptoms, this is the test that finds it — pinpointing the cause rather than just the location of your pain.
Notify your physician beforehand if you're taking blood thinners or have any active infection. There are no lasting effects after testing — you can return to your day immediately once it's complete.
