Electromyogram Testing in Michigan
Electromyogram testing is an excellent diagnostic tool for evaluating the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, our team uses electromyogram testing as one of our most effective diagnostic tools to get to the root cause of what is causing your pain and then apply a treatment option that will be as effective as possible. We’ll take a closer look at electromyogram testing and how it can be used to help you get answers for what is causing your chronic pain.
Why Electromyogram Testing is Often Recommended By Our Board-Certified Doctors
Electromyogram testing is a diagnostic tool often recommended for patients when other tests, such as X-rays, are unable to provide a complete picture of what is causing their pain. Using electromyogram testing, our pain management doctors can pinpoint if your pain is caused by:
- Pinched nerves
- Sciatica
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Peripheral neuropathy
- And more
With this powerful diagnostic tool, our doctors will be able to identify the root cause of your pain and then recommend a treatment pathway that fights pain at its source.
“After a series of facet and nerve blocking without feeling much improvement, I was referred to Dr. Nabity, who was very caring and supportive. I’ve been seeing Dr. Nabity for over a year and a half. I was suffering from very bad chronic pain after my car accident. He is one of the best doctors I have been to. He listens to the issues I have and works out a plan with me. He takes the time to explain what is going on and helps me understand. He also has a great sense of humor. He recommended the PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections. After the first sets of injections I was able to feel the improvement. I have done the PRP injections 3 times so far and it’s been helpful. I’m very happy with his care and concern for my well-being. I would highly recommend Dr. Nabity.” – Rosanna K. Sterling Heights, MI

What Can I Expect From Electromyogram Testing?
Electromyogram testing is a minimally invasive diagnostic test that is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients. Typically, electromyogram testing is done in two parts: a nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes will be placed on the skin, which will administer small electrical pulses to the treatment site. These impulses help our doctors evaluate nerve speed and the strength of nerve signals. The next part of the test, electromyography, involves inserting a small needle into specific muscles in the body. The needle contains an electrode that measures muscle activity both at rest and during movement to identify abnormal muscle movements and nerve functions. The entire test takes between 30 and 60 minutes, typically, depending on the number of nerves and muscles chosen for testing. While you may experience some mild discomfort during electromyogram testing, the vast majority of patients describe it as only mildly uncomfortable.
How Electromyogram Testing Results Can Guide Your Treatment
Electromyogram results are used to both avoid unnecessary treatments and select a treatment option that is as effective as possible for your chronic pain-causing condition. Results from an electromyogram are ready immediately, and our doctors can discuss your results with you the same day so that treatment for your pain can begin as quickly as possible. We most commonly use electromyogram testing to differentiate between spinal, neural, and muscular causes of your pain. Once we have identified the cause of your pain, treatment can begin immediately, and the ideal treatment option can be chosen for your specific case of pain.
Chronic Pain Causing Conditions That Can be Diagnosed With Electromyogram Testing
Electromyogram testing is able to diagnose a number of chronic pain-causing conditions and injuries. At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, our team uses electromyogram testing to diagnose:
- Sciatica

- Peripheral neuropathy
This diagnostic tool helps our doctors help you avoid unnecessary treatments and prioritize the most effective ones.

“In my late 30’s I started to notice a gradual hair loss that accelerated in my early 40’s. I looked into different transplant techniques and all seemed fairly invasive and expensive. I thought I’d give PRP a try because the science made sense to me and the cost was a fraction of other treatments. 3 months after my first treatment I noticed significant regrowth and after about 6 months the results have been amazing. I’ve had quite a few friends ask me what I did, and I’ve happily referred them on to Dr. Nabity. He explained everything in detail and comforting in his approach.” – Scott Rockford, IL
