Science Behind Your Symptoms
These evaluations go beyond physical examinations, utilizing advanced technologies to detect issues that may not be visible through imaging alone.
Our specialists can develop targeted treatment plans that optimize recovery and long-term outcomes by assessing nerve activity, muscle function, and joint integrity.
Diagnosis And Screenings We Offer
Electromyography (EMG) Or Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a specialized diagnostic test that evaluates the health and function of muscles and the nerves that control them.
This evaluation may benefit individuals experiencing numbness, tingling, unexplained weakness, muscle cramps, or persistent pain. It helps diagnose conditions such as:
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to hand pain and numbness.
• Radiculopathy – Nerve irritation in the spine, often from herniated discs, causing radiating pain and weakness.
• Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve damage linked to diabetes or other systemic conditions that affect sensation and movement.
• Neuromuscular Disorders – Conditions like ALS and myasthenia gravis that impact muscle control and function.
This test measures the electrical activity in muscles at rest and in motion, identifying disruptions that could explain pain, weakness, or abnormal sensations.
Unlike X-rays or MRIs, which provide structural images, it assesses nerve function, helping detect compression, muscle disorders, or miscommunication between the two. Specialists can develop a targeted and effective treatment plan for long-term relief by pinpointing the exact source of symptoms.

Yes, each of our locations takes pride in being registered with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and achieving accreditation by The Joint Commission. With these two associations, we ensure our patients receive the highest-quality care coupled with detailed attention to patient safety throughout the process.
Surgery is usually arranged 3 to 4 weeks after your visit with the surgen. This time interval allows to complete any required medical clearances and lab work. That said, we understand the impact of severe pain and can often expedite the surgery date if required.
Although every patient in situation is unique, often times a minimally invasive surgical approach may be available. At University Orthopedic Care, our surgeons utilize the most advanced approaches for numerous benefits:
Choosing the right orthopedic specialist is essential for optimal recovery, and experience plays a critical role in achieving the best outcomes.
Look for a specialist with board certification and advanced fellowship training in relevant areas like joint replacement or complex fracture care.
