You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake. Weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. You need answers, not more guessing.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you exactly that. Through comprehensive electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we can identify whether your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or spinal issues. No more wondering if it’s “all in your head” or if you’re overreacting to normal aches and pains.
When you know what’s actually happening in your body, you can make informed decisions about treatment. You can stop wasting time on approaches that don’t address the root cause. You can move forward with confidence, knowing you have a clear path to feeling better.

The electromyography portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin or inserting thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. It sounds uncomfortable, but most patients find it much more tolerable than expected. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical impulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.
During testing, you’ll see real-time results on the monitoring equipment. We explain what we’re seeing as we go, so you’re not left wondering what all those lines and numbers mean. The entire process typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation.
Afterward, you’ll receive a clear explanation of findings and what they mean for your treatment options. You’ll leave with a comprehensive report and a realistic understanding of next steps.

Your diagnostic evaluation includes both EMG testing to assess muscle function and nerve conduction studies to evaluate how well your nerves carry electrical signals. This combination provides a complete picture of what’s happening in your neuromuscular system.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. It can also rule out serious conditions, which is often just as valuable as identifying problems. Many patients find relief simply knowing their symptoms don’t indicate progressive neurological disease.
South Sewell Park residents appreciate having access to this specialized testing locally, without traveling to larger medical centers. The results integrate seamlessly with your overall spine care plan, whether that involves conservative treatment, injections, or other interventions. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting answers that lead to effective treatment.
