From 'electro-' + 'diagnosis' (from Greek 'dia' through + 'gnosis' knowledge). Established as a medical specialty in the early 1900s.
Electrodiagnosis is how doctors figured out if your nerve damage is temporary or permanent—by comparing how fast electricity travels through healthy versus damaged nerves, they can predict your recovery without needing to open you up!
