My feet goes numb regularly. how will an emg be conducted on my feet?

Series of needles: Emg-electromyography is done using very tiny, solid needles with electrodes attached at the ends--see pic here. You will get a series of needle sticks into the muscles which pick-up electrical activities/signals from the nervex supplying the affected muscles. Because a specific nerve supplies certain part of your body, abnormal signals from EMG can tell which nerve is involved. Good luck.

Carefully?: It is done to figure out which nerves may be possible for the numbness and if the condition is lcoalized to your foot ot stemming from an issue in your back.

By a neurologist: An EMG test is done by placing electrodes in the feet and legs, sending an electrical impulse thru them and seeing how fast it takes to get from point a to point b and comparing one side of the body against the other and against what is considered normal. Now you may know too much. Have the test done anyway to see if your doctor can determine why your feet go numb.

EMG and NCS: Electromyography (EMG) is usually performed alongside nerve conduction studies in order to test the function of nerves and muscles. Emg involves placing a pin (like a fine wire antenna) into various muscles, looking for distress signals that can suggest nerve or muscle problems. Nerve conduction studies (ncs) involve stimulating a nerve and measuring various facets of nerve conduction.
