EMG

EMG, also known as electromyography, is a diagnostic test. With which the health of the muscles and nerves in the human body is evaluated, and response or electrical activity from the muscles in response to the stimulation of the nerves is measured. Let's look at the details of this diagnostic method together.

Why EMG?

Performing the EMG process also allows the emergence of muscle disorders, if any, or the diagnosis of nerve disorders and, if necessary, their elimination. With this diagnostic method, which controls the health of our muscles and examines the nerves that control our muscles, electromyography signals are transferred to the machine as graphics, sounds, and values in a way that the specialist doctor can understand. Afterward, your specialist doctor can apply a treatment method together with the necessary examinations and diagnose your disease, if any.
