1 EMG Laws by State Disclaimer: These laws are up-to-date as of 5/30/14. State medical boards may have published opinions on who is authorized to perform Needle EMGs; however, oftentimes the state board of chiropractors and/or physical therapists have a conflicting published opinion. None of the opinions carry the weight of the law. Alabama: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors or physical therapists. For chiropractors, see The Code of Alabama , for physical therapists see AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Alaska: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing physical therapists, see Alaska Statute Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, expressly forbids chiropractors from performing needle acupuncture and also forbids them from performing surgery (the definition can be found in Alaska Regulation 12 AAC specifically, (2)(A) means the use of a scalpel, sharp cutting instrument, laser, electrical current, or other device to incise ). Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are forbidden to perform a needle EMG. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Arizona: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors or physical therapists. For chiropractors, see Arizona Revised Statute , for physical therapists, see (12). AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Arkansas: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing physical therapists, see A.S.A, (7). Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, A.S.A (6)(B) forbids chiropractors from puncturing the skin for the purpose of introducing any substance into the body. Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are forbidden to perform a needle EMG. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX California: Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, California Code of Regulations, Division 4, Article 1, 302(a)(4)(A) states that a chiropractor is not authorized, to practice surgery or to sever or penetrate tissues of human beings. Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are forbidden to perform a needle EMG. Physical therapists are permitted to perform a needle EMG but cannot make a diagnostic interpretation, see California Business & Professions Code Chapter 5.7, Article 2, : A physical therapist may, upon specified authorization of a physician and surgeon, perform tissue penetration for the purpose of evaluating neuromuscular performance as a part of the practice of physical therapy, as defined in Section 2620, provided the physical therapist is certified by the board to perform the tissue penetration and
2 evaluation and provided the physical therapist does not develop or make diagnostic or prognostic interpretations of the data obtained. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Colorado: Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing physical therapists; however, Colorado Revised Statute, Title 12, Article 41, (1)(a) forbids physical therapists from performing the practice of medicine and (1)(b) forbids them the Use of roentegen rays and radioactive materials for therapeutic purposes; the use of electricity for surgical purposes or lifesaving measures; or the diagnosis of disease. Therefore, an argument can be made that physical therapists are forbidden to perform a needle EMG. Chiropractors are authorized to perform a needle EMG so long as they have completed 120 hours of initial clinical and didactic training with demonstrated competency in electromyography (paraspinal surface electromyography excluded), see 3 Code of Colorado Regulations, Chapter 3, 707-1, Rule 7(B). AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Connecticut: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors or physical therapists. For chiropractors, see Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 372, & 20-28, for physical therapists, see AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Delaware: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors or physical therapists. However, the statute covering physical therapists expressly forbids physical therapists from making a medical diagnosis. Therefore, even if a physical therapist did perform a needle EMG, he/she would not be permitted to make a diagnosis. For chiropractors, see Delaware Code, Title 24, Chapter 7, 701; for physical therapists, see Delaware Code, Title 24, Chapter 24, AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX District of Columbia: Physical therapists are not permitted to perform Needle Electromyography, see District of Columbia Municipal Regulation, Title 17, 6799, which permits physical therapists to perform, noninvasive tests of neuromuscular functions as an aid to the detection or treatment of any human condition. Therefore, an argument can be made that, because needle EMGs are invasive, physical therapists are not permitted to perform needle EMG. Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, District of Columbia Municipal Regulation, Title 17, 4811(a)(3) states that chiropractors are permitted to diagnose subluxated vertebrae, by employing other non-invasive procedures such as MRI and CAT scan. Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are not permitted to perform an invasive test such as a needle EMG. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Florida: Florida Statutes, Title XXXII, Chapter 486, (11) expressly permits the performance of electromyography by physical therapists stating Practice of physical therapy means the performance
3 of electromyography as an aid to the diagnosis of any human condition only upon compliance with the criteria set forth by the Board of Medicine, Florida Physical Therapy Practice Rule 64B states (1) Before a physical therapist may perform electromyography as an aid to the diagnosis of any human condition, he must be trained and competent in: (a) Inserting and adjusting electrodes. (b) Reading and identifying normal and abnormal signals on the grid. (c) Interpreting the audible signals. (2) In addition to the requirements of subsection (1) a physical therapist must receive no less than the following formal education within an accredited post-secondary educational institution: (a) Human dissection. (b) Human physiology. (c) Neurology. Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, Florida Statutes, Chapter 460, (9)(b) allows chiropractors to diagnoses diseases, by the use of any physical, chemical, electrical, or thermal method. and use any other general method of examination for diagnosis and analysis taught in any school of chiropractic. Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are permitted to perform needle EMGs because it involves electricity and is taught in some chiropractic schools. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Georgia: Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing chiropractors; however, the 2010 Georgia Code, Title 43, Chapter 9, (f) states, Chiropractors shall not use venipuncture, capillary puncture, acupuncture, or any other technique which is invasive of the human body either by penetrating the skin or through any of the orifices of the body Therefore, an argument can be made that chiropractors are not permitted to perform needle EMGs. Needle Electromyography is not expressly addressed in the laws governing physical therapists, see 2010 Georgia Code, Title 43, Chapter 33, (7). AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Hawaii: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors, see Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 16, Chapter 76, (3) and (5); Hawaii Revised Statutes, Title 25, Chapter 442. Physical therapists are forbidden from performing invasive procedures, defined as, the breaking or puncturing of a person s good skin integrity, for example, through surgery or injections. Therefore an argument can be made that physical therapists are not allowed to preform needle EMG because it involves breaking the skin Hawaii Revised Statutes, Title 25, 461J-2.5. AANEM's opinion regarding the performance of needle EMGs and NCSs can be found in its position statement Who is Qualified to Practice EDX Idaho: Needle Electromyography is not discussed in the laws governing chiropractors, see Idaho Statute, Title 54, Chapter 7, Physical therapists are not permitted to perform needle EMGs.
