Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the muscle weakness that comes and goes, the numbness that’s affecting your daily life – you need real answers, not more guessing.
EMG testing gives you those answers. Within 45 minutes, we can measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, muscle disease, or something else entirely.
No more wondering. No more delaying treatment because you don’t have a clear diagnosis. You’ll walk out understanding what’s happening in your body and what needs to happen next.
We’ve been providing diagnostic testing to Manhattan Beach patients for years. Our specialists focus specifically on neuromuscular diagnostics – it’s not a side service, it’s what we do.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests. We know how to get accurate readings quickly and explain results in plain language. Your referring doctor gets a detailed report, and you get clear answers about your condition.
Most patients are surprised how straightforward the process is. We’re here to give you the information you need to move forward with confidence.
First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. Then we start with the nerve conduction study – small electrical pulses that measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel a brief sensation, but it’s tolerable.
Next comes the EMG portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle is very thin – most people compare it to acupuncture. We test muscles both at rest and when you contract them.
The entire process takes 30-45 minutes. We interpret results immediately and explain what we found. You’ll understand whether your nerves are damaged, where the problem is located, and how severe it is. Your referring doctor receives a complete report the same day.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. This combination gives us the complete picture of your neuromuscular function. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to identify exactly where problems exist.
We diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. The testing is thorough enough to distinguish between different types of nerve damage and muscle disease.
You receive detailed results explanation, written findings for your records, and direct communication with your referring physician. We coordinate your care to ensure smooth transition to appropriate treatment based on our findings.
