Carpal Tunnel EMG Testing in Winchester, VA
Waystone Health provides EMG/NCS testing, nerve conduction studies, and neuromuscular ultrasound to help evaluate suspected carpal tunnel syndrome in Winchester, VA.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, night symptoms, dropping objects, or symptoms that affect the thumb, index, middle, or ring fingers.
How EMG/NCS Helps Evaluate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Nerve conduction studies measure how well the median nerve carries electrical signals across the wrist. EMG may also be used to evaluate the muscles supplied by the median nerve and to help determine whether there is evidence of nerve injury or axon loss.
When clinically appropriate, neuromuscular ultrasound may also be used to evaluate the size and structure of the median nerve at the wrist.
