EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Finally Understand What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. Maybe you’ve had tests before that didn’t give you real answers. Maybe doctors have told you it’s “just stress” or “part of getting older.”

Our nerve and muscle testing cuts through the guesswork. Using advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll know whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely.

The testing takes about an hour. You get results the same day. No more wondering what’s wrong or whether your symptoms are “all in your head.” Just clear, objective data that shows exactly what’s happening in your body and what can be done about it.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing – when the numbness started, what makes it worse, how it’s affecting your daily life.

The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or light static – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us whether muscle weakness is coming from the muscle itself or from nerve problems. The whole process takes 45-60 minutes. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what everything means and what your options are moving forward.

Complete Diagnostic Testing in One Visit

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, and muscle disorders. We test both upper and lower extremities, depending on your symptoms.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes nerve conduction velocities, muscle response measurements, and our clinical interpretation. This isn’t just raw data – we translate the findings into plain English so you understand exactly what’s going on.

We work with your referring physician and can coordinate with specialists if additional treatment is needed. Many patients find that finally having an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward getting their life back. Whether you need physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery, the testing results guide the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small static shocks or taps. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture. The actual testing isn’t painful, though you might feel some muscle soreness afterward. The entire process is well-tolerated by most patients, and we work at your pace to keep you comfortable throughout the testing.

How long does EMG and nerve conduction testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. We’ll review your symptoms first, then perform the nerve conduction study, followed by the EMG if needed. You’ll get your results immediately after testing, along with time to discuss what the findings mean and your treatment options. Most patients can return to normal activities right after the appointment.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. We can also determine whether numbness or weakness is coming from nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle problems. The testing helps distinguish between different types of nerve injuries and guides the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific condition.

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

Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your arms and legs 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 on blood thinners, let us know ahead of time, but you typically don’t need to stop them for this testing.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by a physician for specific symptoms like numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. We verify your benefits before your appointment and provide cost estimates upfront. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to ensure proper coverage and can discuss payment options if you have any out-of-pocket costs.

When will I get my test results and what happens next?

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We’ll explain what the findings mean in terms you can understand and discuss whether the results point to a specific diagnosis. We’ll also send a detailed report to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. Depending on what we find, next steps might include physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to a specialist. We’ll help coordinate your care and make sure you have a clear treatment plan moving forward.
