What is Electrodiagnostic Medicine?
Electrodiagnostic medicine (EMG/NCV) is a tool used by our physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist to determine the cause of pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling.
It is used when symptoms cannot be diagnosed through other methods.

By using nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing, our pain management specialist is able to evaluate and diagnose the cause of your discomfort by studying your musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
Testing specifically allows for analysis of your peripheral neuromuscular system, which transmits signals from your brain to your muscles and spine through your nerves - and ultimately enables you to move.
The tests offered at Premier Bone & Joint Centers are therefore used to determine the cause of abnormal nerve function, whether it is within the motor neurons, nerve roots, peripheral nerves, or muscle.
