Stop wondering what’s causing your symptoms. Professional EMG testing reveals exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. EMG testing gives you the concrete answers you need to move forward with confidence.
Instead of guessing about nerve damage or muscle disorders, you’ll have precise diagnostic results. No more wondering if your symptoms are serious or if you’re overreacting. The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, showing exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.
With clear results in hand, you can make informed decisions about treatment. Your doctor gets the specific information needed to create a targeted plan that addresses your actual condition, not just your symptoms.

The EMG test has two parts that work together to give you complete information. First, nerve conduction studies use small electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks that most people describe as similar to static electricity.
Next, the electromyography portion uses thin needle electrodes inserted into specific muscles. The needles detect electrical activity while your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. This shows whether muscle weakness comes from nerve damage or muscle disorders.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.
