Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it happens.

The EMG portion measures electrical activity in your muscles using thin needle electrodes. It sounds worse than it feels – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

Both tests typically take 30-60 minutes total. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options. No waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing actually is. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG uses thin needles that cause brief discomfort when inserted, but most people compare it to getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The actual testing isn’t painful, though you might feel mild muscle soreness afterward. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The temporary discomfort is worth getting definitive answers about your symptoms.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the EMG and nerve conduction study data immediately after your test is complete. We’ll sit down with you to explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss treatment recommendations before you leave. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results. We also provide a detailed written report that you can share with other healthcare providers if needed.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, herniated disc complications, and many other neurological conditions. The tests measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, revealing problems that don’t show up on X-rays or MRIs. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, chronic pain, or unexplained symptoms in your arms, legs, hands, or feet, these tests can often provide the definitive diagnosis you’ve been seeking.

Do I need to prepare anything before my nerve testing appointment?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, creams, or oils on your skin the day of testing – they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know in advance, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose specific symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and handle the authorization process for you. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. We’ll also submit all necessary documentation to ensure proper reimbursement. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits in advance.

What happens after I get my nerve testing results?

Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on your specific diagnosis. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists if needed. We’ll provide you with a comprehensive report that includes our findings and recommendations. Many patients feel relief just knowing exactly what’s causing their symptoms. We’ll coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure you get appropriate follow-up care and will schedule any additional testing or treatments you might need.
