Common Conditions For EMG & NCS

• Carpal tunnel syndrome – median nerve compression at the wrist

• Ulnar neuropathy – nerve compression at the elbow or wrist

• Radiculopathy – pinched nerve in the neck or lower back (e.g., herniated disc)

• Sciatic nerve problems – nerve irritation in the lower back or pelvis

• Peripheral neuropathy – nerve damage from diabetes, alcohol, or other causes

• Guillain-Barré syndrome – immune-related nerve damage

• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) – long-term immune nerve damage

• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease – inherited nerve disorder

At California Sports and Rehab, we specialize in the diagnosis of nerve and muscle
disorders using electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing. While each test provides valuable information, performing EMG and NCV together is considered the standard of care in most clinical situations — providing a more complete, accurate, and reliable diagnosis.
