Clear Answers Through Advanced Diagnostics
At Teton Therapy, we believe in treating the root cause, not just the symptoms. Our on-site diagnostic services in Riverton, WY, Lander, WY and Cheyenne, WY offer clear, data-driven insights to support accurate diagnoses and help shape personalized treatment plans. Whether you’re experiencing unexplained pain, nerve issues, or muscle weakness, our advanced tools, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS), help uncover the source of your symptoms with precision.
Electromyography (EMG)
Evaluating Muscle and Nerve Health
EMG testing records the electrical activity of muscles to assess the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. A board-certified physical therapist at Teton Therapy performs this test by inserting a fine needle electrode into specific muscles. These electrodes detect abnormal electrical patterns that may indicate:
- Mononeuropathies (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
- Radiculopathies (e.g., sciatica)
- Plexopathies (e.g., brachial plexus injuries)
- Polyneuropathies (e.g., diabetic neuropathy)
- Myopathies (e.g., polymyositis)
- Motor Neuron Diseases (e.g., ALS)
- Myotonic Diseases (e.g., muscular dystrophy)
- Neuromuscular Junction Disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis)
EMG results allow our team to pinpoint dysfunctional muscle groups or nerve pathways. This helps us build a focused rehabilitation plan that improves strength, function, and quality of life.

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Identifying Nerve Damage
NCS testing evaluates how quickly and effectively your nerves carry electrical signals. It’s commonly used alongside EMG to identify conditions involving numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness. During testing, a mild electrical current stimulates the nerve while sensors measure the response.
Conditions we can detect with NCS testing include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers
- Sciatica – Sharp pain radiating down the leg
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome – Sudden leg weakness or tingling
- Bell’s Palsy – One-sided facial weakness
- Peripheral Neuropathy – Nerve damage causing burning, tingling, or pain in the hands or feet
The test typically lasts 30–90 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. If needed, EMG testing will follow immediately after.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSKUS)
Real-Time Imaging for Accurate Care
MSKUS is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging tool that allows us to see soft tissues, muscles, tendons, joints, and nerves in real time. This diagnostic tool is especially useful for patients who need a fast and affordable alternative to MRI or X-ray imaging.
MSKUS can help assess:
- Sports Injuries – Including strains, sprains, and muscle tears
- Joint Conditions – Like bursitis, arthritis, or inflammation
- Tendon and Ligament Injuries – Such as rotator cuff tears or Achilles tendonitis
- Nerve Entrapments – Including carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chronic Pain – That hasn’t responded to previous treatments
The procedure takes less than 30 minutes, and our team can often review the results with you during your visit.
