Electrodiagnostic Medicine

Electrodiagnostic Medicine is a branch of Physical Medicine that uses electrical tests to assess the health of nerves and muscles. It helps diagnose conditions like nerve injuries, muscle disorders, and other neuromuscular issues. Common techniques include electromyography (EMG), which records the electrical activity of muscles, and nerve conduction studies, which measure how well electrical signals travel through nerves. By analyzing the results, healthcare providers can understand the underlying causes of symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness, guiding appropriate treatment options for patients.
