I perform ENMG examinations with a doctor's referral, for patients over 15 years old.

The ENMG (electroneuromyography) examination helps to diagnose various nerve and muscle diseases, for example when some kind of nerve damage is suspected. The study measures the electrical activity of peripheral nerves and muscles. Nerves are measured by giving small electrical impulses on the surface of the skin. If necessary, the muscles can also be examined with a thin needle. The examination is harmless and well tolerated by most people, but it may feel somewhat uncomfortable or briefly painful.

For the examination, you need a doctor's referral. For measurements, your hands and feet should be clean, warm and grease-free, so dress warmly enough and do not use skin creams after washing before the examination.
