Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms long enough. The numbness in your hands that makes simple tasks frustrating. The tingling in your feet that keeps you awake. The muscle weakness that’s changing how you move through your day.
EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, revealing exactly where the problem lies. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or another nerve condition, you’ll know for certain.
Once you have a clear diagnosis, your treatment becomes focused and effective. No more guessing. No more trying treatments that don’t address the real issue. Just a clear path forward to managing your symptoms and getting back to the activities that matter to you.

Our goal is simple: help you understand what’s happening with your body so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Your EMG test typically includes two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography. The nerve conduction study comes first, where small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses, but the discomfort is minimal and temporary.
The electromyography portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. While this sounds concerning, most patients find it much more tolerable than expected. The needle is very thin, and you’ll only feel a brief pinch as it’s inserted.
The entire process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll receive your results immediately, and our physician will explain what the findings mean for your specific situation. Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their diagnosis and next steps for treatment.
