EMG (Electromyography) Services in Atlanta

Electromyography (EMG) testing is a critical diagnostic procedure used to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them, known as motor neurons. In Atlanta, our specialized clinic offers comprehensive EMG services designed to diagnose various conditions that impair muscle function and nerve health.

What is an EMG Test?

EMG testing involves recording and analyzing the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It is commonly used to investigate the cause of muscle weakness, pain, or abnormal activity such as spasms or cramps. The EMG test is divided into two main parts:

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS): This test measures the speed and strength of electrical signals transmitted through the nerves. It helps identify nerve damage or dysfunction, which could be contributing to muscle symptoms.
Needle EMG: A needle electrode is inserted into the muscle to record electrical activity both at rest and during contraction. The patterns of activity help to distinguish between muscle conditions caused by neurological disorders and muscle disorders.

Conditions Diagnosed with EMG

EMG tests are instrumental in diagnosing a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Peripheral Neuropathy: Damage or dysfunction in the peripheral nerves causing pain, weakness, and numbness, particularly in the hands and feet.
Muscular Dystrophy: A group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
Myasthenia Gravis: A chronic autoimmune condition that disrupts nerve impulses to muscles, leading to severe muscle weakness.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A common entrapment neuropathy that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm.
Disk Disease: Conditions affecting the spinal disk that can lead to nerve compression, manifesting as pain along the affected nerve.
