Pain caused by nerve compression or impingement can be hard to deal with. Electrodiagnostics uses a number cutting-edge tools, which can help in finding the source of neuropathy. Electrodiagnostics is extremely useful for locating the abnormality related to certain nerve functions, and at chiroFX, we use this as a part of our diagnostic needs to design care plans for our patients.

chiroFX is committed to offering quality alternative care for musculoskeletal and nerve problems, and for that, we often rely on various diagnostic tools. Electrodiagnostics is often recommended, because our experts want to understand the problem area better and find the nerve that’s actually causing the pain.What do we suggest?
In general, Electrodiagnostics at chiroFXconsists of a Nerve Conduction Study or NCS and Electromyography. These diagnostic procedures help in understanding the root cause of your pain.
- What is Nerve Conduction study? This study measures the response of motor and sensory nerves to find if they are functioning normally in the targeted area. NCS is used for understanding ‘nerve signal interruption’ better, and doctors often rely on it to find spinal problems, such as herniated discs.
- What is Electromyography? Electromyography is another diagnostic tool, which determines and focuses on nerve activities. Electromyography is used effectively for finding out if there is a compression or “radiculopathy”, by using what is known as ‘pin electrodes’. These pin electrodes measure the energy potential created by a muscular unit, and the results are then compared with averages, which helps in determining the cause.
chiroFX is here to offer relief from and correct nerve-related problems, so if you have any kind of pain or numbness that seems related to the nerves, feel free to call us. Make an appointment now to know more, and we will be happy to assist you!
