We now offer EMG testing (Electromyography), a form of testing used to study muscle and nerve function.  This testing can show your physician the level of nerve and/or muscle injury and can help determine the exact location of an injury and give some information as to whether the damage is reversible.

Conditions that EMG testing helps diagnose include:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Pinched nerve
• Neuropathies
• Muscle diseases

Your doctor may order an EMG test if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Numbness
• Decreased sensation
• Tingling or frequent feeling of “pins and needles”
• Radiating pain or burning sensation
• Muscle spasms or weakness
• Difficulty performing daily tasks such as walking, buttoning clothes or handling objects.
