Accurate diagnosis from experienced professionals.

Many musculoskeletal conditions require diagnostic testing to ensure a correct diagnosis. When working on issues involving a disrupted nerve, one of those diagnostic tests we rely on at Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance is an electromyogram (EMG). EMGs can determine if your nerves and muscles respond properly to stimuli.

From the moment you step into one of our KCOA clinics for an EMG, you will receive fully customized care driven by your unique lifestyle needs and long-term goals.

How It Works

01/05

Our Process

The process begins with an initial appointment, and the length varies based on your condition. More complex issues will require more time with your physician, especially if you have multiple musculoskeletal conditions.

02/05

Our Process

Our patient-centric approach means we conduct individualized tests and studies based on your physical examination. This is when we will determine if an EMG is necessary to diagnose your condition.

03/05

Our Process

When performing an EMG, our physicians will insert an acupuncture-sized needle through the skin into the muscle. These needles allow us to listen to the electrical response of the nerve to that muscle using a small hand-held device. Our physicians will listen while your muscle is at rest, then they will ask you to flex (or activate) the muscle to make sure the nerves are firing properly.

04/05

Our Process

Once we have the results of your exams, we outline treatment options for your individual needs. Throughout the treatment and recovery process, we focus on creating outcomes that maximize your functionality so you can return to your regular activities.

05/05

Our Process

Our physicians will align their management recommendations with your goals. Therefore, two people with the same diagnosis may undergo two personalized management plans.
