When symptoms like tingling, numbness, or unexplained muscle weakness start to interfere with daily routines, it’s natural to want clear answers. That’s where diagnostic tests like EMG and nerve conduction studies come in—they help doctors pinpoint what’s going on with the nerves and muscles. These tests are often recommended as part of a broader evaluation, which may include nerve conduction testing in Snellville, Georgia, provided by Synapse EMG Services.

The goal of these studies is to measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. An EMG uses a thin needle electrode to record activity from muscles, while a nerve conduction study applies small electrical pulses to track signal speed and strength. Together, they offer a complete picture. Many individuals looking for answers to symptoms related to nerve function rely on EMG services in Georgia to guide their next steps.

Some of the most common issues identified when performing these tests include any disorder that affects nerve or muscle function. Some examples include:

• Work-related nerve injuries
• Traumatic injuries caused by auto accidents
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Ulnar Neuropathy at the Elbow
• Cervical Radiculopathy
• Lumbar Radiculopathy
• Diabetic polyneuropathy
• Toxic, Idiopathic, and Other Polyneuropathies
• Motor neuron diseases such as ALS
• Myopathy
• Neuromuscular junction disorders such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome

With carpal tunnel syndrome, compression of the median nerve across the wrist can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands, especially in digits I-III. Early detection through our carpal tunnel syndrome testing protocol can lead to more effective and precise clinical decision-making and help patients and their physicians navigate persistent complaints of pain, weakness, or numbness.

Cervical radiculopathy can similarly present as numbness in the arm and hand. EMG/NCS testing can also help identify and clarify a cervical or wrist source of primary complaints.

What sets us apart is our experience, clinical expertise, and the focus on making the test experience as patient-friendly as possible. From explaining each step clearly to ensuring comfort throughout the appointment scheduling and testing process, our patient-centered electrodiagnostics approach helps remove the stress and confusion that often come with medical testing. You’re not just another chart—you’re a person looking for answers, and we respect that.

If you’re noticing symptoms that don’t seem to improve, it may be time to explore your options.
