Electromyography (EMG) Advanced Muscle & Nerve Evaluation for Precise Diagnosis At Dr. Varun Manjunath’s Neurology Clinic, we offer Electromyography (EMG) — a highly effective diagnostic test used to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. EMG is essential for identifying neuromuscular disorders and planning the right treatment approach. What is Electromyography (EMG)? Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure that records the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. It helps detect abnormalities in muscle function and nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Why is EMG Performed? EMG is recommended to diagnose and evaluate conditions such as: Muscle disorders (myopathy) Nerve disorders affecting muscles Peripheral neuropathy Motor neuron diseases Radiculopathy (nerve root compression) Muscular dystrophy Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Symptoms That May Require EMG Your doctor may suggest an EMG if you experience: Muscle weakness Persistent muscle pain or cramping Tingling or numbness Muscle stiffness or twitching Difficulty in movement or coordination How the Procedure Works A fine needle electrode is gently inserted into the muscle Electrical activity is recorded during rest and movement Signals are analyzed to detect abnormalities The test is safe, minimally invasive, and typically takes 30–60 minutes Benefits of EMG Accurate diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders Helps differentiate nerve vs muscle conditions Early detection of serious neurological diseases Guides targeted treatment and rehabilitation Provides detailed functional assessment Why Choose Dr. Varun Manjunath?
