How EMG & NCS Testing Helps Diagnose Nerve Pain

July 15, 20252 min read

When strange tingling, weakness, or burning pain just won’t go away, it’s time to get real answers — not guesses. At TheraMove & Diagnostics in Towson, MD, we help patients find the root cause of stubborn nerve pain through Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS).


What Are EMG & NCS Tests?

EMG measures the electrical activity in your muscles. Tiny electrodes detect how well your muscles respond to signals from your nerves — showing any weakness, damage, or abnormal patterns.

NCS checks how fast and strong electrical signals travel along your nerves. This reveals if you have nerve damage, pinched nerves, or conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or sciatica.

Together, EMG and NCS give an inside look at what’s really happening with your nerves and muscles — so you’re not stuck treating the wrong problem.


Who Should Consider EMG/NCS?

You may benefit from EMG and NCS if you have:

  • Persistent muscle weakness or unexplained loss of strength

  • Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in arms, hands, legs, or feet

  • Pinched nerves in your back or neck (like sciatica or radiculopathy)

  • Suspected nerve entrapment like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Herniated discs or nerve compression

  • Unexplained chronic pain or suspected neuropathy

These tests pinpoint exactly where the issue is happening and how severe it is — so you and your care team can create the best treatment plan.
