EMG services at Rock Creek Neurosurgery

Our goal at Rock Creek Neurosurgery is to appropriately diagnose your patient’s condition and guide you to the most beneficial comprehensive treatment. EMG services are a step in this direction. Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity studies, often done together, are tests that measure muscle, nerve and nerve function. These tests can be used to determine if a person’s weakness is from nerve damage or some other muscle condition. EMG and NCV are also commonly used to determine a source of pain resulting from a spine condition or from a different source.
