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?
What is EMG/NCS testing?
Two tests that evaluate nerve and muscle function.
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG)
Electromyography records electrical activity in selected muscles using a small needle electrode. It helps evaluate whether symptoms may be related to a nerve or muscle problem.
NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES (NCS)
Nerve conduction studies use electrodes on the skin and brief electrical pulses to measure how signals travel through selected nerves.
The tests are often performed together. Testing is guided by the patient’s symptoms and the referring provider’s clinical question.
COMMON SYMPTOMS
COULD YOUR SYMPTOMS BE NERVE-RELATED?
EMG/NCS testing may be considered when symptoms persist, recur, or don’t fully match what is seen on imaging.
Numbness & Tingling
Burning or Nerve Pain
Muscle Weakness

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
How To Prepare For The Test?
1. Clean Skin: No lotions or creams, oils, perfumes, or Vaseline anywhere on the body the day of the test.
2. Wear loose clothing: Providers need easy access to arms, legs, neck and back.
3. Be sure skin is cleaned thoroughly prior to the test.
4. Medications – Please bring a list of your current medications
5. All other medications may be taken as prescribed.
6. EMG/NCS will not affect pacemakers and defibrillators.
7. EMG/NCS does NOT require fasting. A normal meal schedule may be followed on the day of the test.
How soon can we expect the reports?
With accurate and reliable data, the final report provides the information you need to make informed and dependable decisions to render optimal patient care. We perform the testing and deliver the finalized report within 24 hours of the test.
