I guess I don't get why they are done except what Rancar said...do they help or what. Do they help with pain?
The NCS and EMG are diagnostic tests. They are not a "treatment" and will do nothing to alleviate pain. The purpose is to help determine the condition of the nerves signals. It is then the job of the doctor to interpret the test results and what those results indicate for diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
