Electromyography

Advanced Muscle & Nerve Evaluation: Electromyography (EMG)

If you are suffering from persistent muscle weakness, unexplained cramps, or nerve-related pain in your limbs, evaluating your motor pathway function is a critical step. Electromyography (EMG) is a specialized diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of your muscles both at rest and during contraction. By inserting a fine, micro-thin needle electrode directly into specific muscle tissues, this procedure detects abnormal electrical signals caused by damaged nerve fibers or primary muscle disorders. This precise diagnostic tool pinpoints the exact origin of neuromuscular dysfunction, allowing us to craft a highly targeted treatment strategy.
