Electromyography
Electromyography (EMG) is the study of nerves and muscles used to diagnose common conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve entrapments in the arms and legs, peripheral neuropathy, and spinal nerve impingement. Not so common neuromuscular conditions like Lou Gehrig's Disease and myopathy can also be detected. Nerve conduction studies use small shocks, and electromyography uses small needles to determine if nerve or muscle damage is present.
