An EMG Nerve Conduction Study is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the health of your nerves and muscles. It measures the electrical activity in your muscles and the speed at which electrical impulses travel along your nerves. This test is typically used to diagnose conditions such as:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Peripheral Neuropathy
Radiculopathy
Muscle Disorders
Sciatica
Myasthenia Gravis
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
By measuring nerve function, an EMG helps us understand whether your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle conditions, or a combination of both.

The EMG Nerve Conduction Study is typically performed in two parts:
Nerve Conduction Study (NCS): Small electrodes are placed on your skin over the nerve. A mild electrical pulse is applied to assess the speed and strength of nerve signals as they travel through your body.
Electromyography (EMG): A small, fine needle is inserted into the muscle to record the electrical activity when the muscle is at rest and when it contracts. This helps determine if there are any abnormalities in muscle function.
The procedure is generally quick and safe, with minimal discomfort. You may experience brief, mild sensations during the test, but it is well tolerated by most patients.
The results of your EMG test will give your healthcare provider valuable insights into the health of your nerves and muscles. They will be able to determine whether there is nerve damage, the extent of that damage, and which specific nerves or muscles are affected. Based on these findings, we can tailor a treatment plan that could include physical therapy, medications, or other interventions to address the underlying cause of your symptoms.
