Treatments That Benefit From EMG Testing
EMG testing is just the first step on your healing journey and will likely inform the doctor of the type of treatment you will need to receive. Here at The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we have several options available to help your body heal naturally and avoid the need to undergo surgery.
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection.
Nerve pain stimulation works similarly to EMG testing and stimulates the nerves via electricity.
Stem cells are a productive and relatively new procedure, which acts as a natural catalyst that uses your body’s own cellular building blocks to recover damaged tissues.
How An EMG Procedure Works
So, what can a Dearborn, MI resident expect from EMG testing? Intended to test the responsiveness of the electrical signals sent from your brain to the muscle nerves, EMG tests are minimally invasive and require a few injections to insert electrically sensitive needles. Still, they do not cause much pain and often don’t require pain management before or after the procedure. Once the electrodes are inserted, the doctor will likely ask you to flex and move around the offending muscle to test the electrical conductivity of the nerves as the brain sends signals. As our muscles do not conduct electric signals while at rest, movement is vital, and you may be asked to do several different movements for an accurate reading. EMG testing can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the responsiveness of your muscles.
After EMG testing, you may experience some soreness in the affected muscles. This soreness is normal and should not require any further treatment. In extreme cases, you may want to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to help with recovery, but nothing else will be needed.
