EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you up at night.

The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves. You need answers, not more guessing games.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you exactly that. Through advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure how well your nerves and muscles actually function. No more wondering if it’s serious or if it’s all in your head.

When you know what’s wrong, you can fix it. When you’re guessing, you’re just managing symptoms and hoping for the best.

Biscayne Gardens Diagnostic Specialists

We've Been Solving These Puzzles for Years

NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Biscayne Gardens community with specialized diagnostic testing and spine care. Our physicians understand that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.

We’ve seen thousands of patients who’ve been told their symptoms are “normal aging” or “just stress.” Most of the time, there’s a real, treatable cause that shows up clearly on our testing.

Our focus isn’t just running tests. It’s interpreting results in a way that makes sense for your specific situation and getting you the right treatment plan.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms. We need to understand what you’re experiencing, when it started, and what makes it better or worse.

The actual testing involves placing small electrodes on your skin over the affected areas. For nerve conduction studies, we send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. For EMG testing, we use a thin needle electrode to check muscle activity.

Most patients are surprised by how quick and manageable the process is. The entire evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing.

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.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your diagnostic evaluation includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing when needed. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, not just run a standard protocol.

You’ll receive a detailed report of your results, plus a consultation about what the findings mean for your condition. If we identify a treatable problem, we’ll discuss your options right away.

Many patients in Biscayne Gardens come to us after months of uncertainty about their symptoms. Our testing either confirms a diagnosis that leads to effective treatment, or rules out serious conditions so you can stop worrying.

We work with most insurance plans and provide transparent pricing for any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled and brief. Most patients describe it as surprising rather than painful. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode that causes minimal discomfort, similar to getting blood drawn. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate results. Many patients tell us it wasn’t nearly as bad as they expected, and the relief of finally getting answers makes any minor discomfort worthwhile.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most comprehensive nerve and muscle testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we need to evaluate. Simple nerve conduction studies might take just 15-20 minutes, while more extensive testing of multiple areas takes longer. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when we schedule your appointment based on your specific symptoms. The actual testing time is usually shorter than patients expect, and we provide results and consultation immediately afterward so you’re not waiting days or weeks to understand what we found.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve entrapment syndromes, and many other neuromuscular conditions. We can also determine if your symptoms are coming from nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. The testing helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems and pinpoints exactly where the issue is located. This precision is crucial because treatment for a nerve problem in your neck is completely different from treatment for the same symptoms caused by a problem in your wrist.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by a physician for diagnostic purposes. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. If you have a high deductible or copay, we’ll let you know your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront so there are no surprises. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to an X-ray or MRI, so coverage is typically straightforward when it’s needed to diagnose your symptoms.

How soon can I get my test results?

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing, along with an explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. We don’t make you wait days or weeks to understand what we discovered. During your post-test consultation, we’ll review the specific measurements, show you where any problems were found, and discuss treatment options if needed. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, we’ll coordinate that for you as well.

What should I do to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. 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 on certain medications like muscle relaxants, let us know as they might affect results. Don’t stop taking prescribed medications unless we specifically advise it. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail – when they started, what triggers them, and what provides relief. This information helps us focus the testing on the most relevant areas.
