diagnose nerve damage 
with emg & ncv testing

Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is a procedure that uses an instrument called an electromyograph to convert the electrical activity from skeletal muscles into a visual account or sound. The test diagnoses neuromuscular abnormalities and is used during biofeedback training.

Nerve Conduction Velocity

Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a test to see how fast electrical signals move through a nerve. EMG (Electromyography) testing is done by inserting small needles just into the muscle (mild tingle experienced, similar to acupuncture). These tests are often performed at the same time.

​Some Conditions That Can Cause Abnormal Nerve Conduction Results Include:

  • Alcoholic neuropathy
  • Diabetic neuropathy
  • Traumatic injury to a nerve
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Brachial plexopathy
  • Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy
  • Distal median nerve dysfunction
  • Femoral nerve dysfunction
  • Radial nerve dysfunction
  • Sciatic nerve dysfunction
  • Sensorimotor polyneuropathy
  • Tibial nerve dysfunction
  • Ulnar nerve dysfunction
