What Is EMG NCV Testing?

EMG (Electromyography) and NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) are two diagnostic tests often used together to assess the health of your muscles and nerves.
  • EMG measures the electrical activity of your muscles. It helps detect nerve or muscle damage that may be causing pain, weakness, or discomfort.
  • NCV measures how fast electrical signals move along your nerves. It can help identify nerve damage, pinpoint the location of the problem, and provide insight into how well your nerves are functioning.
    • These tests are crucial in identifying conditions such as neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, muscle weakness, and other nerve-related issues. Both tests are quick, non-invasive, and highly effective in providing critical information about your body’s nervous system.

    Why Is EMG NCV Testing Important?

    EMG NCV Testing plays a vital role in diagnosing a wide range of health conditions, especially if you are experiencing:
    Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
    Chronic muscle weakness or atrophy
    Pain that seems to radiate down the arms, legs, or back
    Difficulty with coordination or balance
    Symptoms that suggest nerve damage or compression, like sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome
    By getting to the root of your symptoms, EMG NCV Testing enables us to accurately diagnose and treat your condition, bringing you one step closer to a pain-free life.

    How Does EMG NCV Testing Work?

    The procedure for EMG and NCV testing is simple and minimally invasive:

    EMG:

    Small electrodes are placed on the skin or inserted into the muscle with a tiny needle to measure electrical activity. You may feel a slight sensation when the needle is inserted, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

    NCV:

    Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and a mild electrical current is passed through your nerves. You may feel a brief tingling sensation, but it is not painful.
    Both tests are safe and effective, and take only a short amount of time, usually under an hour.

    When Should You Consider EMG NCV Testing?

    If you’re experiencing symptoms such as persistent pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling, it might be time to consider EMG NCV Testing. These tests are particularly useful if other diagnostic methods haven't provided a clear explanation for your symptoms.
