Neuropathy Testing

Neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can cause pain, weakness. or numbness to limbs and is something diabetes sufferers may encounter. It is important to identify neuropathy as you may be at risk of developing potentially serious complications like foot ulcers that can become quite severe if left untreated.

Neuropathy testing can involve two processes: The first being a nerve conduction test (NCT), which involves placing small electric rods on the feet for example, which administer small electric shocks to to stimulate the nerves. The response from speed and the signal is then measured and provides results on the condition of the affected area. The second is called an electromyography (EMG) which involves probing the skin with a small thin needle to measure electrical activity from the body.
