Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We’ll discuss when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using small electrodes placed on your skin. Electromyography tests muscle function by inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure electrical activity.

Most patients complete both tests in under an hour. The procedures cause minimal discomfort, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. We’ll review your results the same day and discuss what they mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates both sensory and motor function to give you a complete picture of your condition. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity to identify exactly where problems are occurring.

You’ll receive detailed results that show not just what’s wrong, but how severe the condition is and whether it’s getting worse. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan and monitoring your progress over time.

Many patients in Sweetwater come to us after other doctors couldn’t explain their symptoms. Our comprehensive approach often identifies conditions that simpler tests miss, giving you the accurate diagnosis you need to move forward with confidence.

Most patients describe nerve conduction studies as feeling like small static shocks or rubber band snaps. The sensation is brief and tolerable for most people. EMG testing involves inserting thin needle electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn. While there’s some discomfort, it’s not severe, and the entire process typically takes less than an hour. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities immediately after testing.
We provide preliminary results immediately after your testing session. Our specialists review the data while you’re still in the office and explain what the findings mean for your condition. You’ll receive a detailed written report within 24-48 hours that includes specific measurements, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations for treatment. This quick turnaround means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering about your results.
Our testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. We can also identify the location and severity of nerve damage, whether problems are in the nerve roots, peripheral nerves, or muscles themselves. The testing helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems and guides appropriate treatment decisions.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary for diagnosing symptoms like numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. Our staff handles prior authorization requirements and works with your insurance company to ensure you receive maximum benefits. We’ll provide cost estimates upfront so there are no surprises.
Preparation is minimal for most patients. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, 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 taking blood thinners, let us know in advance as we may need to modify the testing approach.
Abnormal results help us pinpoint exactly what’s causing your symptoms and how severe the condition is. We’ll discuss your specific findings and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or lifestyle modifications. We coordinate with other specialists when needed and develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on your test results and individual needs.
