NCV/EMG

Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and electromyography (EMG) are diagnostic techniques used to assess nerve and muscle function. These tests help identify conditions that cause numbness, weakness, fatigue, cramps, and abnormal sensations in the body. At Revere Health, our specialists use NCV and EMG testing to evaluate the health of muscles and nerves, providing critical insights into various neuromuscular disorders.

How NCV/EMG Works
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV): This test measures how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on the skin, and mild electrical impulses are sent to stimulate the nerves.
Electromyography (EMG): EMG assesses the electrical activity in muscles. A thin needle electrode is inserted into the muscle to record electrical signals, helping detect muscle dysfunction or nerve problems.

Conditions Diagnosed with NCV/EMG
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: NCV/EMG helps assess compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to hand numbness and weakness.
Neuropathy: Detects nerve damage, often caused by conditions like diabetes, leading to symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the extremities.
Muscle Disorders: Identifies muscle diseases such as muscular dystrophy or polymyositis.
Nerve Damage: Assesses injury to nerves due to trauma or repetitive strain.

Benefits of NCV/EMG Testing
Accurate Diagnosis: Helps pinpoint the source of nerve or muscle dysfunction.
Guides Treatment: Provides valuable information to guide treatment plans for neuromuscular conditions.
Non-Invasive or Minimally Invasive: NCV is non-invasive, while EMG is minimally invasive, both providing essential diagnostic information with little discomfort.
