An
electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical activity in your heart. Doctors and qualified physicians usually recommend this procedure to monitor your heart’s condition or check for signs of heart disease. While there are now smartwatches that provide similar functions, they are not intended for use as medical devices. Standard EKG machines from hospitals or clinics still provide more accurate, in-depth, and reliable results, and a medical professional is best qualified to interpret those results.
The Right Spinal Clinic’s laboratory testing services include electrocardiograms. We have a professional lab technician who conducts EKG testing for our patients. This procedure can be completed in just a few minutes, depending on your physician’s recommendation. If you need an EKG test, call us now at

Electrocardiogram tests are quick, safe, and painless. An EKG can help your physician or doctor determine or detect:
- Chest pain
- Rapid pulse
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Heart palpitations
- Breathing difficulty
- Weakness or fatigue
Note: If you have a family history of heart disease, your doctor may recommend having an electrocardiogram screening test even if you do not experience any symptoms. In some cases, they may also require continuous EKG monitoring.
There are no special preparations for a standard EKG test. However, it is best to have enough rest and avoid any physical activity before the procedure. Be sure to inform your physician about any medication and supplements you take, as these can affect the results of your test.
