Neuromuscular EMG Testing in Bartlett, IL

Electromyography Testing for Accurate Diagnoses

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. During the test, small electrodes are inserted into the muscle tissue to measure electrical activity, both at rest and during muscle contraction. This information helps physicians assess the function of nerves and muscles, providing valuable insights into neuromuscular health.

Conditions detected by EMG testing include:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: Damage to peripheral nerves, often resulting in weakness, numbness, and pain, typically in the hands and feet.
• Muscular Dystrophy: A group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration.
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy.
• Radiculopathy: A condition caused by compression or irritation of nerve roots, often resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness radiating from the spine to other areas of the body.

At Barrington Orthopedic Specialists, our board-certified physicians utilize EMG testing to accurately diagnose these and other neuromuscular conditions, guiding effective and personalized treatment plans.
