Blog:EEG & EMG Testing in Libertyville: Answers for Your Brain & Nerve Symptoms
Are you dealing with unexplained numbness, seizures, muscle weakness, or memory loss? If so, your provider may recommend an EEG (electroencephalogram) or EMG (electromyography) test to better understand your symptoms. At A Ray of Hope – Libertyville, our neurology team uses these advanced tools to evaluate brain and nerve function so we can provide the most accurate diagnosis and effective care.
An EEG is a non-invasive test that measures electrical activity in your brain. It’s commonly used to diagnose or monitor conditions like:
Seizure disorders (such as epilepsy)
Unexplained fainting or blackouts
Sleep disturbances
Cognitive or memory issues
Brain activity following a head injury
At our Libertyville office, we offer both standard EEGs and extended monitoring (such as 3-day EEGs) to capture symptoms that may not appear in shorter sessions.
An EMG evaluates the electrical signals between your nerves and muscles. This test helps diagnose conditions such as:
Peripheral neuropathy
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Pinched nerves
ALS or muscular disorders
Chronic pain or numbness in the limbs
During the EMG, small electrodes are used to assess how well your muscles and nerves are communicating, helping us pinpoint where damage or dysfunction may be occurring.
