Electrodiagnosis

Electrodiagnosis is a medical procedure that assesses how well your nerves and muscles are functioning. It involves using small electrical impulses to test nerve signal speed and muscle response. This helps doctors identify nerve injuries, compressions, or diseases such as neuropathy or muscular disorders. The process typically includes two main tests: electromyography (EMG), which measures muscle activity, and nerve conduction studies, which evaluate nerve signal transmission. Electrodiagnosis provides valuable information about nerve and muscle health, aiding in accurate diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment plans.
