EMG & Nerve Conduction Testing in Green Bay, WI

EMG & Nerve Conduction Testing

Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that follows a nerve's path raises a critical question: which nerve, and where is it being affected? Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) answer that question directly by measuring how well your nerves and muscles transmit electrical signals — turning vague symptoms into a specific diagnosis.

Conditions EMG/NCS testing helps diagnose

Carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome and other nerve entrapments, radiculopathy (pinched nerves in the neck or low back), peripheral neuropathy — including diabetic neuropathy — and unexplained weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs. Physicians throughout the area refer patients to us for these studies; if your doctor ordered an EMG, we can typically see you promptly.

What the test involves

The study has two parts, performed in the same visit at our Green Bay office. Nerve conduction testing uses small electrodes on the skin and mild electrical pulses to measure signal speed along a nerve. The EMG portion uses a fine needle electrode to listen to muscle activity. The sensations are brief and most patients tolerate the full study comfortably; it typically takes under an hour, requires no sedation, and you can drive yourself home.

Results that guide real decisions

Because Dr. Wilkins both performs and interprets the study, results are read in the context of your full examination — and if treatment is warranted, it can often begin without another referral loop.
