Reasons You might Need an EMG:

• Tingling 
• Numbness 
• Muscle weakness 
• Muscle pain or cramping 
• Specific forms of limb pain

EMG: Understanding Its Purpose and Function 

This test is compromised of two components: the Electromyogram (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS). The EMG assesses the electrical activity of muscles both at rest and during contraction. A tiny pin is inserted into the muscle during testing to evaluate its condition. The NCS is employed to gauge the health of your nerves. Professional administration of mild electrical stimulation to the skin directly overlaying the nerve occurs. The response is measured by a second set of electrodes applied to the skin’s surface, providing information about the nerve’s condition and function.
