Chicago & Oak Park MRI, EMG, and NCV Testing - Advanced Physical Medicine

Advanced Physical Medicine with locations in Chicago and Oak Park is proud to offer a range of sophisticated on-site diagnostic tools, including MRI, EMG, and NCV.

1. Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests for analyzing nerve and muscle electrical activity. Some types of this activity are perfectly normal; others can signal the onset of a disease within the nerve or muscular structure, including:

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Ataxias
• Congenital myopathies
• Guillain-Barre syndrome
• Metabolic myopathies
• Mitochondrial myopathies
• Muscular dystrophy
• Myasthenias
• Myotonias
• Nerve lesions
• Peripheral neuropathies
• Polio
• Radiculopathies
• Spinal muscular atrophy

2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that can provide images of the head, spine, body, and extremities in order to check for signs of trouble, including cancer, disc disease, disc herniation, neurological issues, and bone and tendon misalignment.
