NCS & EMG in Orlando

If you’re experiencing numbness, weakness, or pain in your limbs or spine, Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Needle Electromyography (EMG) can help pinpoint the root cause. At Nona Spine and Pain Institute, we provide advanced NCS and EMG testing to assess nerve and muscle function, guiding precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

These diagnostic studies are essential for identifying conditions ranging from nerve compression to muscular disorders, ensuring that you receive the most effective, targeted care.

What Are NCS and EMG?

‍
Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

NCS measures how effectively electrical signals travel through your nerves. This test helps detect nerve damage or dysfunction, including conditions such as:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Peripheral Neuropathy
Cervical or Lumbar Radiculopathy
Nerve injuries or compression

Needle Electromyography (EMG)

EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. It evaluates both muscle and nerve function, identifying conditions such as:

Muscle weakness or atrophy
Motor neuron diseases (e.g., ALS)
Nerve root issues (radiculopathy)
Myopathy (muscle disease)

How NCS and EMG Work

NCS Procedure

Electrodes are placed on the skin to monitor nerve activity
A small, painless electrical pulse is sent through the nerves
Nerve responses are recorded and analyzed to assess function

EMG Procedure

A fine needle electrode is inserted into the muscle
Electrical activity is recorded at rest and during muscle contraction
Muscle and nerve function is evaluated to detect abnormalities

Both NCS and EMG studies are safe, minimally invasive, and provide critical insights for accurate diagnosis.

Who Needs NCS and EMG Studies?

You may benefit from NCS and EMG testing if you have:

Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
Muscle weakness or atrophy
Chronic pain or radiating discomfort
Loss of coordination or balance
Difficulty controlling or moving muscles

These tests can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and myopathies.
