Nerve Function Testing Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. We start with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what other doctors have found so far.

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical impulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. Most patients describe this as feeling like small static shocks – 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 how well your muscles respond to nerve signals and whether there’s any damage or dysfunction. The needle feels similar to getting blood drawn.

You’ll get your results the same day. We explain what the tests found, what it means for your condition, and discuss next steps for treatment. You leave with clear answers and a plan moving forward.

Most patients tolerate nerve and muscle testing well. The nerve conduction study feels like small static electricity shocks – briefly uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG uses a thin needle that feels similar to getting blood drawn. Some muscle soreness is normal afterward, but it typically resolves within a day. We explain each step as we go and work at your pace to keep you comfortable throughout the testing.
A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes. This includes time for consultation, both the nerve conduction study and EMG testing, and reviewing results with you. The actual testing portion is usually 30-40 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. We schedule adequate time so you never feel rushed, and we can answer all your questions about the findings.
Yes, you’ll receive your results immediately after testing. Our specialists interpret the findings and explain what they mean for your specific condition.

We also send detailed reports to your referring physician within 24 hours.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, nerve entrapments, and many other conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. The testing shows us exactly where nerve problems exist, how severe they are, and whether muscles are affected. This helps determine if symptoms are from nerve compression, damage, or other causes requiring different treatments.
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. Bring a list of current medications and any previous test results. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, let us know when scheduling. Most medications don’t need to be stopped, but we’ll review this during your consultation.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary and ordered by a physician. We work with major insurance providers and verify coverage before your appointment. Our staff will explain your benefits, any copays or deductibles, and provide cost estimates upfront. We also offer payment plans for patients with high-deductible plans or those paying out-of-pocket for testing.
