Electromyography (EMG)

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
