A Successful Outcome Begins With an Accurate and Timely Diagnosis!
With Dr. Larison’s specialized training in Advanced Chiropractic and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, he is able to objectively quantify the diagnosis and the subsequent treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. His approach involves an initial comprehensive evaluation and if necessary imaging, laboratory, electrodiagnostics and any other testing deemed essential. Based upon these findings, an appropriate plan of treatment will be determined. A complete report of findings will be reviewed with the patient as well as options for treatment. Any necessary specialist recommendations may also be discussed.

Electrodiagnostic medicine is a medical subspecialty.
Specially trained physicians use information from a patient’s history and physical exam, along with test results that analyze electrical impulses between muscles and nerves, to diagnose, evaluate, and treat neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and nervous system disorders. Electrodiagnostic medicine is a part of neuromuscular medicine. (1)Nerve conduction studies and electromyography are best considered an extension of the clinical examination. These studies cannot be properly planned, performed or interpreted without knowing the patient’s symptoms and findings on the clinical examination. Because of the numerous nerves and hundreds of muscles that can be studied, it would be neither practical for the electromyographer, nor desirable for the patient to study all of them. Therefore, a detailed and accurate examination is always necessary to guide and focus electrodiagnostic testing. (2)
In the day to day practice of clinical neuromuscular diseases, clinical neurophysiology, and neuromuscular injuries of any cause, the EMG/NCS and related electrophysiologic studies can be an enormous help in diagnosis and management. Electrodiagnostic testing is regarded as the single most useful test in clarifying the differential diagnosis of an obscure neuromuscular problem, second only to the clinical examination. (2)
Electrodiagnostic tests measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. By measuring the electrical activity one is able to determine if there is nerve damage, the cause of the damage, and if the damaged nerves are responding to treatment. (3)
The human body is essentially an electrical generator. Nerves and muscles create electrical signals that deliver messages to and from your brain. Sensory nerves deliver information about your surroundings to the brain. Motor nerves deliver signals from the brain to activate your muscles. Injuries or diseases that affect nerves and muscles can slow or halt the movement of these electrical signals. If you have pain, weakness or numbness in your back, neck, upper or lower extremities, measuring the speed and degree of electrical activity in your muscles and nerves can help the doctor make a proper diagnosis. The two most common tests used are: Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve conduction studies (NCS). These tests are usually administered by a specially trained chiropractor, neurologist or physiatrist.
