EMG/NCV Nerve Conduction Testing
At Mir Neurology & Spine Center, we offer EMG/NCV testing for:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
- Neuropathy
- Radiculopathy (pinched nerve)
Diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Peripheral Neuropathy, and Radiculopathy
Understanding EMG and NCV Tests
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) tests measure electrical activity in muscles and nerves, typically in the arms and legs. These tests help identify conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and radiculopathy.
While an NCV test measures how fast electrical impulses move through the nerves, an EMG tracks electrical activity in the muscles. Dr. Sarim Mir, MD, often pairs these tests to better identify the location and extent of damage in the nerves and muscles.
