Identify Nerve Damage at the Source
If you’re experiencing unexplained numbness, tingling, weakness, or chronic pain, Electromyogram (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) studies can help pinpoint the cause and determine if there are nerve damage issues. At Jaffe Sports Medicine, we use these advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate nerve and muscle function – giving you and your provider the answers needed to guide effective treatment.
With locations in North Naples, Downtown Naples, and Cape Coral, we proudly serve patients across Collier and Lee Counties.
What Are EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies?
EMG and NCV studies are diagnostic tests that measure the electrical activity of muscles and the speed of nerve signals in your body. These studies are often performed together to help diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders, including nerve compression, pinched nerves, and neuromuscular conditions.
These tests are used to help identify nerve damage and guide treatment plans. They are essential when symptoms such as pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling are present but the cause is unclear. EMG and NCV studies provide a detailed, objective look at how your nerves and muscles are functioning – often identifying conditions that imaging (like X-rays or MRIs) can’t detect on their own.
EMG and NCS are commonly used to evaluate or diagnose:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Herniated Disc
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Sciatica
- Pinched Nerves or Nerve Root Injuries
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Muscle or Neuromuscular Disorders
Our Treatment Offering
Electromyography (EMG)
During an EMG, a very thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure the electrical activity at rest and during movement. This helps determine if the muscle is responding properly to nerve signals.
You may feel minor discomfort or pressure when the electrode is inserted, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
Typically 15–30 minutes, depending on how many muscles need to be tested.
Electromyography (EMG)
Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Study
Small electrode patches are placed on your skin over nerves and muscles. A gentle electrical signal is sent through the nerve, and a machine records how fast and strong the nerve responds. This test measures how well your nerves are transmitting signals.
You may feel a brief tingling or mild shock-like sensation, but the test is very safe and well-tolerated.
20–45 minutes, depending on the number of nerves tested.
Nerve Conduction Velocity
Is An EMG or NCV Study Right for You?
EMG and nerve conduction studies are recommended for patients who experience symptoms like tingling, burning, electric shock sensations, or unexplained weakness. If your symptoms haven’t improved with standard care – or if imaging has been inconclusive – these tests can be a valuable next step.

I’ve made couple visits through the years for lower back pain. Each time I get relief and back to normal. Dr Arcos is excellent explaining the process in a calming assuring manner with positive results that last. I sleep without pain as well as during daily activities. His staff is caring, prepared and professional. I highly recommend Jaffe Sports Medicine for any discomfort or chronic pain relief.Posted on GoogleNiki Valente6 October 2026After seeing 2 other neurologists and being dissatisfied with their treatment suggestions and the fact that both doctors spent a few minutes ( as in 5 or less ) explaining the procedure and never discussed the risks involved I went back to Jaffe to have them oversee my entire procedure including follow up and therapy, ( they don't perform the actual surgery ). They explained my options, and risks involved and did fantastic job following up with me. All of the doctors were simply amazing. Competent, caring and extremely knowledgable. While I don't usually take the time to recommend medical professionals, in this case the care and treatment I received warranted it. If you need to see a Neurologist or need consultation or therapy definitely check out Jaffe Sports MedicinePosted on GoogleRose Espinoza2 October 2026The young female Dr has always been very nice, and knowledgeable.
