EMG & NC Study

Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction (NC) Study are advanced electrodiagnostic tests used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. These tests help diagnose a wide range of neuromuscular disorders by identifying nerve damage, muscle dysfunction, or problems affecting the communication between nerves and muscles. They play a vital role in determining the exact cause of symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, pain, or muscle cramps.

When is EMG & NC Study Recommended?

  • Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in the hands or feet
  • Muscle weakness, cramps, or unexplained muscle wasting
  • Neck pain or back pain radiating to the arms or legs
  • Suspected nerve injuries, neuropathy, or radiculopathy
  • Evaluation of conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and myopathy
