Have you noticed numbness in your hands or feet, tingling that wakes you up at night, or sudden weakness in your arm or leg that seems to come out of nowhere? These are more than annoyances — they may be signs of nerve or muscle issues that need real answers. At TheraMove & Diagnostics, right here in Towson, MD 21204, we offer EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) so you don’t have to guess what’s going on.

What exactly are EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies?

• Nerve Conduction Study (NCS): This test measures how fast electrical signals travel along your nerves. If a nerve is damaged or compressed (like in carpal tunnel or sciatica), the signals slow down or weaken.

• Electromyography (EMG): A small needle records electrical activity in your muscles — both at rest and when contracting. This helps identify whether your muscles themselves are involved, or if the issue is upstream in the nerve.

These tests together give us a high-resolution view into what’s happening inside your body — not just what hurts, but why it hurts.

Who should consider getting tested?

If you’re in Towson or nearby Baltimore County and experience:

• Persistent tingling, burning, or numbness in your limbs

• Muscle weakness, or loss of grip or feeling

• Pain that radiates (e.g. down your leg, out from your shoulder)

• Symptoms that don’t match MRI or X-ray findings

• Suspected nerve compression (carpal tunnel, pinched nerve in neck or back)

… then EMG/NCS is worth checking out. It helps rule in, or rule out, nerve damage early — which often means faster, more precise treatment.

What to expect during testing at TheraMove

• The entire process takes ~30-60 minutes (longer if multiple nerves/muscles need testing)

• You might feel mild discomfort: tingling for NCS, a quick needle prick for EMG, but nothing major

• No significant downtime — most people resume normal activities right after

• Results are interpreted and discussed with you clearly, and then we map out a treatment plan based on those findings (physical therapy, referrals, etc.)

Because we are local, you can get fast access to testing — no long drives, no huge waits. Early diagnosis in nerve issues often prevents further damage, reduces recovery time, and helps avoid unnecessary treatments. Also, combining diagnostics with our therapy services means you get all under one roof: test, diagnose, treat.
