EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. Both are done in the same appointment, usually taking 30-60 minutes total.

First comes the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief tingling sensations, but nothing painful.

Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. The needle insertion feels similar to getting blood drawn.

During the test, you might be asked to flex certain muscles or relax completely. We explain everything as it happens and can see your results in real-time. You’ll get a clear explanation of findings before you leave.

Comprehensive EMG Nerve Testing

What You Get With Our Testing

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction velocity studies and needle electromyography. This combination gives a complete picture of nerve and muscle function that single tests can’t provide.

You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw data. We explain what your specific findings mean for your condition and treatment options. Many patients leave with a clearer understanding of their symptoms than they’ve had in months or years.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. It also rules out serious conditions, which can be just as valuable as finding a specific diagnosis.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

EMG testing involves some discomfort but is generally well-tolerated by most patients. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief electrical tingling sensations. The needle EMG portion involves thin needle insertions that feel similar to acupuncture or blood draws. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. The entire test takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities right away.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders like myositis, and nerve damage from injuries. It can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s getting better or worse. Sometimes the test rules out nerve problems entirely, which helps doctors focus on other potential causes of your symptoms.

How should I prepare for my EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let our office know in advance. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing nerve or muscle conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our office handles insurance authorization and filing for you. If you have questions about your specific coverage or copay requirements, our staff can check your benefits in advance. Self-pay options are also available for patients without insurance coverage.

When will I get my EMG test results?

You’ll receive an explanation of your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We review the findings with you during your appointment and explain what they mean for your specific condition. A detailed written report is typically available within 24-48 hours and can be sent to your referring physician or other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of EMG testing – you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests usually done together. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity and muscle response. Nerve conduction studies are better for detecting nerve damage, while EMG is better for evaluating muscle disorders and the connection between nerves and muscles. Together, they provide a complete assessment of your neuromuscular system.
