Nerve pain, tingling, or sudden weakness can turn everyday tasks into frustrating hurdles at any age and an EMG helps pinpoint why.
Electrodiagnostic Testing
Precision Pain & Spine Institute offers comprehensive electrodiagnostic studies—electromyography (EMG) and nerve-conduction testing—to identify the exact source of pain, weakness, numbness or stiffness. Board-certified specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to measure how well your nerves communicate with your muscles, delivering clear, same-week results that shape a targeted treatment plan.
What Is an EMG Test?
An EMG, or electromyography, is a diagnostic test that measures electrical activity in muscles
It assesses how healthy muscles respond to signals from nerves. Suppose you’re experiencing symptoms such as muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or unexplained pain. In that case, an EMG can help pinpoint the underlying cause.
EMG tests are commonly used to diagnose conditions such as:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Pinched nerves
Neuropathy
Muscle disorders like muscular dystrophy
Radiculopathy (nerve root issues)
Sciatica
Peripheral nerve injuries
ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
The results from an EMG test can help your physician develop a tailored treatment plan to address your specific needs.
What to Expect During an EMG Test
Our skilled professionals will ensure your comfort throughout the process. A tiny needle electrode is placed into the muscle during the test to record electrical activity while the muscle is at rest and when it is being used.
Some patients may experience mild pain during the test, but most people don’t mind it.
Depending on the number of muscles and nerves being checked, an EMG test can last 30 to 60 minutes. Once the test is over, our specialists will discuss the results with you and suggest the best treatment options.
