EMG and Nerve Testing Englewood

Finally Understand What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or muscle weakness that makes simple tasks difficult. Multiple doctors, different opinions, but still no clear answers.

Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic tests measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning, revealing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or muscle disorders that other tests miss.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can stop guessing and start treating the real problem. No more wondering if it’s serious. No more trying treatments that don’t work because they’re targeting the wrong issue.

EMG Testing Process Englewood

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. This reveals nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.

Next is the EMG test. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This shows whether muscle weakness comes from nerve problems or muscle disorders themselves.

Both tests take about 45 minutes total. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and temporary – far less than the chronic symptoms that brought them in.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation Englewood

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. The comprehensive evaluation covers upper and lower extremities, depending on your symptoms.

Our Englewood location serves patients throughout Bergen County and surrounding areas. Most insurance plans cover diagnostic nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary, and our staff handles authorization requirements.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find nerve and muscle testing much more tolerable than expected. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, but most describe it as less painful than getting blood drawn. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the mild testing discomfort.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle myopathy, motor neuron disease, and other neuromuscular conditions. The tests distinguish between nerve problems and muscle disorders, pinpointing whether symptoms come from nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle dysfunction. This precision helps doctors recommend the right treatment instead of guessing at the cause of your numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas need evaluation. The nerve conduction study usually takes 20-30 minutes, followed by EMG testing of specific muscles. You’ll get results immediately after testing, along with explanation of findings. Most patients appreciate getting answers in a single appointment rather than waiting days or weeks for results from other diagnostic tests.

Will insurance cover my nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness that suggest nerve or muscle problems. Our staff handles insurance verification and prior authorization requirements. We’ll check your specific coverage before scheduling and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront. Medicare and most major insurance carriers typically cover these diagnostic tests when ordered by your physician.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal for nerve and muscle testing. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let our staff know when scheduling, though most patients can still have testing done safely.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once your nerve and muscle testing is complete, our physician will explain your results and what they mean for your condition. You’ll receive specific treatment recommendations based on the findings, which might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. The results are also sent to your referring doctor so your entire care team understands your diagnosis. Many patients feel relieved to finally have concrete answers about their symptoms and a clear path forward for treatment.
