EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Stop Guessing, Start Healing

When your hands go numb during the night or your legs feel weak walking upstairs, you need real answers. Not more “let’s wait and see” or “try this medication and call me in a month.”

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing cuts through the uncertainty. You’ll know if that tingling in your fingers is carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve in your neck, or something else entirely. You’ll understand why your leg feels weak and what can actually fix it.

The testing takes about an hour. You walk out with results, a clear explanation of what’s happening, and a plan that makes sense. No more wondering if you’re imagining things or if your symptoms will get worse.

Bicentennial Park Nerve Testing Specialists

We Actually Listen to Your Symptoms

NY Spine Medicine has been helping Florida residents understand their nerve and muscle conditions for years. We specialize in the exact type of testing you need when traditional exams come up short.

We’ve seen thousands of patients who’ve been told their symptoms are “normal aging” or “stress-related” when there’s actually a treatable condition causing their problems. Our diagnostic approach gives you the clarity other doctors couldn’t provide.

You’re not another number here. We take time to explain your results in plain English and answer every question you have about your condition.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

First, we discuss your symptoms in detail. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Which activities trigger the numbness or pain? This conversation guides which specific tests you need.

The electromyography (EMG) measures how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. Small electrodes record muscle activity while you contract specific muscle groups. The nerve conduction study checks how fast signals travel through your nerves using mild electrical pulses.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. Think of it like getting blood drawn – brief discomfort for valuable information. The entire muscle and nerve evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re examining.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies tailored to your specific symptoms. We test the exact areas where you’re experiencing problems – whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

You receive same-day results with a detailed explanation of what we found. We’ll show you exactly where any nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring and explain what’s causing your symptoms. Many patients tell us this is the first time a doctor has actually explained what’s wrong in terms they can understand.

The evaluation also includes recommendations for treatment options and referrals to specialists if needed. You leave with a clear understanding of your condition and next steps, not more questions than when you arrived.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief shocks – similar to static electricity but slightly stronger. The EMG uses thin needle electrodes that cause a pinching sensation when inserted. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. If you’re only having your hands tested for carpal tunnel, it might take 30 minutes. If we’re evaluating multiple areas like your arms and legs, it could take up to 90 minutes. We always explain what we’re testing and why before we start, so you know what to expect. Most of our appointments include time to discuss results immediately after testing.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your coverage before scheduling and can provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Many patients find the testing is covered under their diagnostic benefits, similar to getting an MRI or blood work. We work with most major insurance providers in the Bicentennial Park area and can help you understand your specific benefits before your appointment.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These tests can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from injuries, and many other conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The testing shows us exactly where nerve signals are blocked or slowed down and whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation. This helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems and guides treatment decisions. Some patients discover their symptoms are from multiple conditions that need different approaches.

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

Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If we’re testing your arms, a short-sleeved shirt works best. For leg testing, shorts or pants that roll up easily are helpful. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

When will I get my test results?

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what we found. We’ll show you the actual test data and explain it in terms you can understand. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, we’ll discuss those options during the same visit and help coordinate your next steps.
