Advanced EMG and nerve conduction testing to diagnose what’s really causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or muscle weakness that no one can explain. You’ve seen doctors who shrug and suggest “wait and see.” That’s not good enough when you’re losing sleep and struggling through daily tasks.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. Our electrodiagnostic testing pinpoints exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head.
When you know what’s wrong, you can finally start the right treatment. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely, accurate diagnosis is the first step toward getting your life back.

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what areas need evaluation. The nerve conduction study comes first – we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals.
Next is the EMG portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Yes, there’s mild discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well and appreciate finally getting answers. We test multiple sites to create a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing. No waiting weeks for a phone call. We’ll explain exactly what we found, what it means for your condition, and coordinate with your referring doctor for next steps. Most patients leave feeling relieved to finally understand their symptoms.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by our board-certified specialists. We use advanced electrodiagnostic equipment to evaluate nerve transmission speed, muscle response patterns, and identify areas of damage or dysfunction.
Testing covers common problem areas like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. We also evaluate muscle disorders, motor neuron conditions, and other neuromuscular problems that might be causing your symptoms.
You’ll receive a detailed written report explaining all findings in clear language, plus immediate discussion of results with your testing physician. We coordinate directly with your referring doctor and can recommend appropriate specialists if additional treatment is needed.
