Nerve Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing, when it started, and what makes it better or worse.

The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and we measure the speed and strength of nerve signals. Then electromyography testing evaluates muscle function by detecting electrical activity in your muscles.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What Your Testing Includes

Your comprehensive evaluation includes both EMG testing and nerve conduction studies performed in the same visit. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your condition.

You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly where problems exist, whether it’s nerve compression, muscle dysfunction, or both. We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders that other testing methods miss.

Every test is performed by our experienced specialists who understand the nuances of nerve and muscle function. We take the time to explain your results in terms you can understand, so you know exactly what’s happening and why you’re experiencing your specific symptoms.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find nerve and muscle testing much more comfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks but controlled and brief. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that may cause mild discomfort when inserted, but most people tolerate it well. The entire process is designed to gather diagnostic information with minimal discomfort. Many patients tell us they wish they had done the testing sooner instead of worrying about it for months.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and radiculopathy. We can identify exactly where nerve compression is occurring, determine if muscle weakness is due to nerve problems or muscle disease, and measure the severity of damage. The testing is particularly valuable for diagnosing conditions that don’t show up clearly on MRI or X-rays but cause significant symptoms like numbness, tingling, or unexplained weakness.

How long does the testing take and when do I get results?

The complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the numbers mean. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff handles the insurance authorization process and will let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage, we recommend calling your insurance provider with the specific procedure codes, which our office can provide.

Do I need to prepare anything special before testing?

Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though most medications don’t need to be stopped. You can eat normally and continue your regular activities before and after testing. The main thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your symptoms in detail.

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

Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel along your nerves by placing electrodes on your skin and measuring signal speed and strength. EMG testing evaluates muscle function by detecting electrical activity within the muscle using thin needle electrodes. Together, these tests give us a complete picture of both nerve and muscle function. The nerve conduction study tells us if nerves are transmitting signals properly, while EMG shows us how muscles are responding. Most patients need both tests to get an accurate diagnosis of their condition.
