Commonly asked questions

Electromyography (EMG) tests are typically requested by healthcare professionals, such as neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physiatrists, to assess neuromuscular and nerve function.

EMG tests are used to evaluate muscle and nerve function, diagnose neuromuscular disorders, identify nerve compression or damage, and assess a wide range of conditions causing muscle weakness, pain, or numbness.

EMG tests involve inserting fine needle electrodes into specific muscles to record electrical activity during muscle contractions. This data helps diagnose neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions.
