Understanding EMG and NCS

Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) are advanced diagnostic tools used to evaluate the health and function of muscles and nerves. These tests are critical for diagnosing a variety of conditions that affect the nervous system, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and other nerve-related issues.

Electromyography (EMG): EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. By inserting a fine needle electrode into the muscle, our skilled clinicians can assess muscle function and detect any abnormalities that may indicate underlying neurological conditions.

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): NCS measures how quickly electrical impulses travel through your nerves. By placing electrodes on the skin over specific nerves, we can determine if there is any nerve damage or dysfunction, providing valuable insights into conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system.

These tests are often performed together to give a comprehensive overview of both nerve and muscle function, helping our physical therapists create the most effective treatment plans for your specific condition.
