   An EMG test is a common test used by neurologists to check for  nerve damage resulting from spinal injuries.

 

   The strong force of a car accident causes havoc to the human spine and may result in disc damage including bulging discs and herniated discs.    

 

   When the bulging discs or herniated discs press on the spinal cord or the nerve endings coming out of the spinal cord, nerve damage occurs. EMG or nerve conductions tests are medical tests that will reveal the existence of nerve damage.

 

   EMG tests and nerve conduction tests are considered objective medical testing. Objective medical testing is the most reliable type of medical testing.

 

   EMG tests and nerve conduction tests are usually done together to improve the accuracy of the testing results. Your technologist and or neurologist will perform these nerve tests, record the results, and then prepare an EMG/Nerve Conduction Test report and forward it to your treating physician.

An experienced personal injury lawyer will know how to present an EMG test and a Nerve Conduction Test to an insurance company or jury.
