Nerve Studies (EMG/NCS)
Nerve Studies (EMG/NCS)
At HOPE, Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) are the first step to understanding what’s driving symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, burning, or pain. These tests show how well your nerves and muscles are working—so your care plan targets the real cause.
What Are EMG & NCS?
What Are EMG & NCS?
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Small surface electrodes deliver brief, gentle pulses to measure how fast and how well nerves carry signals.
Electromyography (EMG): A very fine, sterile needle electrode records electrical activity inside selected muscles—at rest and with light movement.
Together, EMG and NCS help distinguish nerve irritation/compression, generalized neuropathy, muscle disorders, or other causes of your symptoms.
When We Recommend Testing
Hand/finger numbness or tingling (possible carpal tunnel or ulnar nerve issues)
Neck or back pain with arm/leg symptoms (possible cervical or lumbar radiculopathy)
Foot numbness, burning, or balance changes (possible peripheral neuropathy)
Unexplained weakness, cramping, or muscle fatigue
Persistent symptoms after injury or surgery
