    What is EMG?

    Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. It involves inserting small, fine needle electrodes into the muscle to measure its electrical signals. The data collected helps our specialists evaluate nerve function, detect abnormalities, and guide effective treatment plans.

    What to Expect During Your EMG Test

    The EMG test is typically quick, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated. Here’s how it works:

    1. Preparation: The area to be tested will be cleaned, and you will be positioned comfortably.
    2. Electrode Insertion: Fine needle electrodes are inserted into the muscle to record electrical activity.
    3. Recording Activity: You will be asked to contract your muscle, which will allow the electrode to capture the electrical signals produced by the muscle.
    4. Completion: The test lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of muscles tested. Afterward, you can resume normal activities.

    Results and Follow-Up

    Once the EMG test is complete, the results are reviewed by our experienced team. A detailed report will be sent to your referring doctor, who will explain the findings and recommend any further steps or treatments.
