EMG Testing: Understanding Nerve & Muscle Health

EMG

Your muscles and nerves work together to keep your body moving. When something goes wrong, symptoms like weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain can appear. That’s where Electromyography (EMG) comes in.

What is an EMG?

An EMG test helps evaluate the health of muscles and nerves by measuring electrical activity. It is essential for diagnosing neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, ALS, myasthenia gravis, and other neuromuscular conditions

Why Might You Need an EMG?

You may benefit from an EMG at Mir Neurology if you experience:

✔ Unexplained muscle weakness

✔ Chronic pain or numbness in arms or legs

✔ Tingling or burning sensations

✔ Frequent muscle cramps or twitching

What Happens During an EMG Test?

Our specialists place small electrodes on the skin or insert a tiny needle electrode into the muscle. As you move, the electrodes record electrical signals, helping us pinpoint any nerve or muscle damage. The test is quick, and while you may feel mild discomfort, it is well-tolerated.

At Mir Neurology, we use EMG testing to ensure early detection and accurate diagnosis, helping you get the best treatment for your condition. If you’re experiencing persistent nerve or muscle issues, schedule an evaluation with us today
