Electrodiagnostic Studies

Electrodiagnostic studies are diagnostic tests used to evaluate nerve and muscle function. They include procedures like nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG). Nerve conduction studies measure how quickly electrical signals travel along nerves, helping identify nerve damage or dysfunction. EMG assesses the electrical activity of muscles when they are at rest and during contraction, detecting issues with muscle fibers or nerve supply. These tests help diagnose conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathies, or muscular disorders. They are performed by specialized technicians using small electrodes or needles and provide valuable information about the health of your nerves and muscles.
