What to Expect During an EMG Test
Our skilled professionals will ensure your comfort throughout the process. A tiny needle electrode is placed into the muscle during the test to record electrical activity while the muscle is at rest and when it is being used. Some patients may experience mild pain during the test, but most people don’t mind it. Depending on the number of muscles and nerves being checked, an EMG test can last 30 to 60 minutes. Once the test is over, our specialists will discuss the results with you and suggest the best treatment options.
