RMPSO in Medford, OR is a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation practice that specializes in helping patients restore function after injury or illness. We also focus on Electromyogram and Nerve Conduction studies to help guide patients with any nerve related issues that may need to be addressed by further medical or surgical care. The team of experienced physicians work to tailor an individualized plan of care to help patients achieve their goals.
An electromyogram (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves controlling those muscles when they are at rest and when they contract. It is used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders like muscle weakness, paralysis, and nerve compression.
EMG is beneficial for those suffering from nerve and muscular disorders as it can provide valuable insight into the underlying cause and help to guide treatment. It can also be used to assess nerve damage and muscle weakness and identify any abnormal electrical signals in the muscles. EMG is a safe and effective way to diagnose and monitor various neurological conditions and can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.
🌟 How can EMG benefit you?
✅ Accurate Diagnosis: EMG provides valuable insights into the functioning of your muscles and nerves, enabling us to make a precise diagnosis of your condition.
✅ Personalized Treatment: Armed with comprehensive information from your EMG, we can tailor a treatment plan specifically for you, addressing the root cause and optimizing your recovery.
✅ Follow-up Monitoring: EMG is also useful for monitoring your progress during rehabilitation or treatment, ensuring we make necessary adjustments as needed.

Neurological Rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on improving the brain, spine, and nervous system function. It is used to help individuals who have suffered from a stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other neurological conditions. The goals of Neurological Rehabilitation are to maximize physical and cognitive functioning, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Neurological Rehabilitation can help patients regain independence and improve their quality of life through various techniques, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy and cognitive and behavioral strategies. It is a safe and effective treatment for those suffering from neurological conditions. It can be tailored to individual needs and goals.
Traumatic Brain Injury is a service that supports people who have suffered a concussion. It can benefit anyone who has experienced a concussion or has post-concussion symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, memory problems, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. The service provides education about the signs and symptoms of a concussion and advice on how to manage and prevent further symptoms. It also offers advice on how to avoid further concussions and how to return to physical activity safely. The service provides an individualized approach to each individual's needs. It helps them to identify the best strategies to manage their symptoms and return to their activities.
Amputee & Limb Loss Rehabilitation is a service that provides support for individuals who have lost a limb or limbs due to an accident, illness, or injury. It is designed to help individuals adjust to their new bodies and learn how to use their new prostheses or other adaptive devices. It also helps to improve balance, coordination, and fine motor skills. The service includes physical and occupational therapy, as well as psychological support. This service aims to help individuals reach their highest levels of physical, psychological, and emotional functioning.
A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test — also called a nerve conduction study (NCS) measures the speed & strength of an electrical impulse as it travels through your nerves.
During the test, your nerves are stimulated, usually with electrode patches attached to your skin. Two electrodes are placed on the skin over your nerves. One electrode stimulates your nerve with a very mild electrical impulse. The other electrode records it. The resulting electrical activity is recorded by another electrode. This is repeated for each nerve being tested. The speed is then calculated by measuring the distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes.
A related test that may be done is an electromyography (EMG). This measures the electrical activity in your muscles. It is often done at the same time as an NCV / NCS. Both tests help find the presence, location, and extent of diseases that damage the nerves and muscles.
This test provides valuable information that detects nerve damage or dysfunction. This procedure can help diagnose various conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, nerve injuries, and more!
💡 Why should you consider a Nerve Conduction Study? If you're experiencing symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in your limbs, a Nerve Conduction Study can help pinpoint the underlying cause. By accurately assessing the electrical activity in your nerves, our expert physiatrists can make an accurate diagnosis and develop a tailored treatment plan to alleviate your discomfort and improve your quality of life.
