NCV/EMG Testing: How We’ll Get to the Bottom of Your Back Pain
Back pain is so prevalent because it can have several potential causes, ranging from injury to mechanical issues. Correctly identifying the cause of your specific back pain is crucial in getting you the treatment you need. The onsite diagnostic testing services at Therapy West Physical Therapy can help us get to the bottom of your back pain. We offer both EMG and NCV tests. Together, they can provide a comprehensive picture of your nerve and muscle health. EMG vs NCV: What’s the Difference? An EMG test evaluates the electrical activity in your body’s muscles, helping us to know whether your muscles are properly responding to nerve signals. It can help us diagnose or rule out several muscular injuries and disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or pinched nerves. An NCV test evaluates how quickly electrical signals travel along your nerves, making it a great choice for identifying issues in the nerves themselves. It can help us diagnose or rule out various neuropathies, including problems with your sciatic nerve.
We often perform both tests during a session. The process is simple and requires little prep on your part. EMG/NCV testing is a powerful tool in addressing back pain. To get started, schedule your appointment today!
