Electromyography (EMG) Assessment

Electromyography (EMG) Assessment is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and the health of the nerves controlling them. Conducted by a neurologist or physiatrist, this test involves inserting small needles (electrodes) into specific muscles to record electrical activity during rest and movement.

​

The EMG is often performed alongside a Nerve Conduction Study to diagnose nerve or muscle disorders, identify the location of injury, and assess the severity of damage.

When is an EMG Assessment needed?

This assessment is appropriate for individuals who:

  • Experience muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or cramping,

  • Have suspected nerve damage after an injury,

  • Are being evaluated for conditions such as radiculopathy, neuropathy, or carpal tunnel syndrome,

  • Have unexplained muscle pain or limited mobility,

  • Require diagnostic confirmation for insurance or legal claims.
