The purpose of the EMG test primarily is to determine if there is a problem with a nerve or nerves, if there is a problem how bad that problem is and where that problem is. From this information interpretations and recommendations can be made that may include things like more testing, prescribing medication, physical therapy, bracing, injections, change in therapies, nutritional supplementation, &/or surgery or other medical procedures. You and your doctor may even decide to do nothing and just monitor your symptoms. The findings obtained can help you and your doctor decide the best course of treatment, but often the findings alone are insufficient and need to be correlated with your own history, physical examination, and other tests.
