EMG

A Ray of Hope: Great Lakes Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry is proud to use a variety of tests/methods to properly diagnose and treat our patients. Electromyography (EMG) is one of the most important. EMG is a tool we use to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them.

If you've been experiencing unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling, EMG could be the key to understanding the root cause of your symptoms. A Ray of Hope offers comprehensive EMG testing, performed by skilled specialists, to help diagnose a range of neuromuscular disorders.

EMG works by inserting fine needles into specific muscles, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and requires no anesthesia. It then measures the electrical activity in muscles during contraction and rest. By analyzing these signals, our experts can detect abnormalities that indicate nerve or muscle dysfunction.

The data collected from EMG testing allows for precise diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions, and further investigations. Our team will work closely with you to ensure you understand the results and provide recommendations for follow-up care.
