Radiculopathy EMG Testing in Winchester, VA

Waystone Health provides EMG/NCS testing and nerve conduction studies to help evaluate suspected cervical and lumbar radiculopathy in Winchester, VA.

Radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root is irritated or compressed near the spine. Symptoms may include radiating pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in reflexes affecting the arm or leg.

How EMG/NCS Helps Evaluate Radiculopathy

Needle EMG can help assess whether there is evidence of nerve root irritation, nerve injury, denervation, or chronic motor unit remodeling in muscles supplied by specific nerve roots.

Nerve conduction studies can also help determine whether symptoms are more consistent with a peripheral nerve entrapment, peripheral neuropathy, or another nerve-related condition rather than an isolated radiculopathy.
