EMG Neurology: Devoted exclusively to EMG testing.
Focused services & conservative, objective patient care.
For many people with nerve pain, surgery isn’t necessary. And the way to know is with nerve-muscle testing, called EMG. EMG is the gold-standard neurological test for muscle-nerve problems. EMG objectively studies healthy nerves that are transmitting pain (and other signals). As a result, the results of EMG testing are often used by doctors to guide the management, care and treatment recommendations for these problems. But the accuracy, the precision, of the test interpretation is vital to getting the care you need.
At Spine and Neurotrauma Center in Las Vegas, our sole focus is EMG testing. That’s because EMG studies, while often subtle and challenging, are important to a complete, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of:
• Pinched nerve • Neck & low back pain • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
• Sciatica / lumbar radiculopathy • Cervical radiculopathy • Radiating pain • Numbness or tingling • Neuropathy
A philosophy of diagnostic excellence & commitment to your best interests.
