Electrodiagnostic study reveals the condition of your nerves and muscles and can also determine the presence, nature and degree of any damage. This study also verifies any unexplained nagging pain, numbness, tingling sensation, weakness or muscle cramping. California Sports & Rehab specializes in performing electrodiagnostic study which consists of two parts, first part is nerve conduction study and the second part is electromyography.
We detect and diagnose an array of medical conditions through Nerve Conduction Testing and Electromyography.
Tingling sensation, numbness, muscle weakness, pain or cramping and certain types of limb pain are signs or symptoms that may indicate a nerve or muscle disorder.
This study measures how fast an electrical impulse can travel through your nerve. Electrodes are placed on the skin over the affected nerve. Multiple small electrical pulses are given to the nerve and the resulting electrical activity is recorded. Depending on the symptoms, several nerves may be tested. These impulses cause electrical sensations that may cause a quick, tingling feeling. This test may take half an hour to 45 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles are being tested.
This study is used to evaluate and determine the cause of pain, muscle weakness, numbness and tingling sensation. This portion of the test usually takes 10 to 15 minutes and involves a small, thin sterile acupuncture electrode that is inserted into the muscles and the electrical activity is measured and recorded when the muscle is at rest and during contraction. During the EMG the electrical activity is displayed visually and audibly on a computer’s monitor. Most patients feel no discomfort with this procedure, however, an individual may experience a small amount of discomfort during this part of this test such as tenderness or soreness for a few days and possibly small bruising. Inform your doctor if these symptoms persist.
