Electrodiagnostic Testing Phoenix

Understanding Nerve and Muscle Function for Better Pain Management

If you’re having pain, numbness, or weakness and don’t know why, electrodiagnostic testing Phoenix can help find the cause. At Comprehensive Pain Management, we use this test to check how your nerves and muscles are working. It helps us learn what’s going on in your body so we can treat it the right way.

But before starting any treatment, it’s important to know what’s really causing your pain. That’s why the best thing you can do is meet with one of our expert providers first. A good diagnosis leads to the right treatment and the best chance at relief.

What is Electrodiagnostic Testing?

Electrodiagnostic testing Phoenix is a group of tests that look at your nerves and muscles. The two main tests are EMG (electromyography) and NCS (nerve conduction study).

  • EMG checks your muscle activity.
  • NCS checks how fast signals travel through your nerves.

Together, these tests show if your pain or weakness is coming from your muscles, nerves, or spine. Electrodiagnostic testing in Phoenix is safe, does not take long, and gives clear results.

How Does Electrodiagnostic Testing Help Patients in Phoenix?

Electrodiagnostic testing helps your doctor find out what’s causing your symptoms. This means better answers and better care.

Here’s what happens during the test:

  1. Small patches (called electrodes) are placed on your skin.
  2. For the nerve test, small electrical signals are sent to your nerves.
  3. For the muscle test, a tiny needle goes into the muscle to check its activity.
  4. You move the muscle or rest while the machine records what’s happening.

At the end of the test, the doctor looks at the results right away. They will explain what they found and what it means for your care. The whole test takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Some parts may feel odd or tingly, but most people say it’s easy to handle. You can go home right after and return to your normal activities. There is no recovery time needed.
