Electromyography (EMG) - Broken down, EMG means: electro (electric)
myo (muscle) graphy (writing).  EMG tests are designed to diagnose problems
with nerves and the muscles they supply.  Electrical activity of nerves and
muscles are recorded by sophisticated electrodes and specific patterns are
displayed and interpreted by qualified clinicians.  

   Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) - As it's name implies, NCV measures
the speed of conduction of selected nerves in your body.  Sensitive electrodes
pick up stimulation from an electrical impulse and the speed of conduction
through the nerve is calculated.  These values are compared to normative data
and interpreted by qualified clinicians.

   ~These tests will aid in diagnosing potentially serious neurological conditions.
 Some conditions diagnosed by EMG/NCV testing include: nerve entrapments
(i.e.Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), spinal cord dysfunction, neuropathy (i.e.
pinched nerves), neuromuscular disorders, sciatica, and more.

   ~Indications that you may benefit from data obtained by EMG/NCV testing
include: arm/leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, clumsiness, muscle
twitching or spasm, trauma (esp. whiplash), muscle wasting and more.  If
you have any of these symptoms, proper evaluation is warranted.  Please call
