Calgary Zone Electromyography (EMG) Central Access and Triage

This central access referral service provides a single point of entry for patients who require electromyography in the Calgary Zone.

Electromyography is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles and the nerve cells that control them.

The test involves low electrical stimulation of the nerves using electrode stickers or may involve a thin needle to be inserted directly into a muscle which records the electrical activity in that muscle. Testing is performed by a doctor who is assisted by a technologist.
