WHEN THE SYMPTOMS AREN’T CLEAR, THE TESTING SHOULD BE.
EMG/NCS testing evaluates how nerves and muscles are functioning and can provide important diagnostic information that complements your clinical exam, imaging, and medical history.
01
Location
Where is the nerve problem originating?
02
Severity
How significant is the nerve injury or dysfunction?
03
Acuity
Is the process acute, chronic, or ongoing?
04
Recovery
Is there evidence of nerve recovery or reinnervation?
TWO TESTS. ONE CLEARER PICTURE.
EMG and nerve conduction studies provide complementary information to evaluate nerve and muscle function.
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG)
EMG evaluates the electrical activity of muscles. It can help determine whether weakness, pain, or other symptoms may be related to nerve or muscle dysfunction.
NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES (NCS)
NCS measures how quickly and effectively electrical signals travel through the nerves and can help identify areas of nerve irritation, compression, or dysfunction.
Together, EMG and NCS provide a more complete look at nerve and muscle function.

COULD YOUR SYMPTOMS BE NERVE-RELATED?

Can Physical Therapists Perform the Test?
Physical therapists who provide electrodiagnostic testing services are required to complete a rigorous didactic curriculum, 500 clinical studies and 2000 hours of testing in order to qualify to sit for an examination administered by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME).
Currently, among all physical therapists in the United States, there are less than 200 who are board certified to provide electrodiagnostic testing services.
