  1. EMG/NCS testing doesn’t have to be extremely painful. The needle insertion can be compared to a small pinch by someone's fingernails and the electrical stimulation in a NCS is similar to a static electricity shock when touching a door after walking across carpet.
  2. Why should I have an EMG / NCS test? EMG/NCS testing has good specificity, if performed correctly.
  3. NCS alone is not enough! – Beware of mobile testing companies that only do NCS testing or use neurometer – this is not accurate and testing may be incomplete
  4. If your test is negative and you have clinical findings suggesting pathology, futher testing or trial treatment of the suspected condition is warranted.
  5. Can a Physical Therapist perform my EMG/NCS test?  Board Certified PT's are recommended for performing this test.
