What is Electrodiagnostic Testing?

Electrodiagnostic testing in Scottsdale checks your nerves and muscles with two main tests:

  • EMG looks at how your muscles are working.
  • NCS checks how fast your nerves send signals.

These tests help find out if your pain or weakness is from your muscles, nerves, or spine. The tests are safe, quick, and give clear results.

How Does Electrodiagnostic Testing Help Patients in Scottsdale?

Electrodiagnostic testing helps your doctor understand what’s causing your symptoms, leading to better answers and better care. Here’s what happens during the test:

  • Small patches (electrodes) are placed on your skin.
  • For the nerve test, small electrical signals are sent to your nerves.
  • For the muscle test, a tiny needle is used to check your muscle activity.
  • You move the muscle or relax while the machine records the results.

At the end of the test, the doctor looks at the results immediately and will explain what they found and what it means for your care. The test takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Some parts may feel strange or tingly, but most people find it easy to handle. You can go home right after and return to your normal activities, with no recovery time needed.
