Muscle Diseases (Myopathy or Muscular Dystrophy).Spinal nerve injury in the neck or back (Cervical and Lumbosacral Radiculopathy) (AKA “sciatica”).We specialize in the diagnosis and management of: Many patients will have a second part of the testing called electromyography ( EMG). Most patients coming for nerve testing will have nerve conduction studies ( NCS). The doctor who completes your test should be certified either by the CSCN (Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists) or the AANEM (American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine). The results of the tests will help your doctor decide what is wrong and how it can be treated.ĭoctors who do EMG testing have completed special training, and work either as Physiatrists ( CAPMR).

If you have been referred to our clinic, your doctor has recommended an EMG test to see if your muscles and nerves are functioning normally. Electrodiagnostic medicine is the study of the diseases of nerves and muscles.
