Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

During the EMG portion, we’ll use thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles. It sounds worse than it is – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

The entire process 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.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle testing covers a wide range of conditions that affect Buena Vista Heights residents. Whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or unexplained muscle weakness, we have the diagnostic tools to get answers.

We test everything from common workplace injuries to complex neurological conditions. Our equipment can detect problems in the smallest nerve fibers and identify muscle disorders that other tests might miss.

Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and concerns. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach because your condition is unique to you. The goal is always the same: give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Most patients find the testing more tolerable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity. The EMG uses thin needles that cause brief discomfort when inserted, but once in place, you’ll mainly feel pressure. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate results. We explain each step as we go, so you know exactly what to expect. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We don’t make you wait days or weeks wondering what we found. During your appointment, we’ll review the findings with you and explain what they mean in plain language. You’ll also receive a detailed report that you can share with your referring doctor or other specialists. This immediate feedback is crucial because it allows you to start planning your next steps right away, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, or other treatments.
Our testing can diagnose a wide range of neuromuscular conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression syndromes. We can also identify the difference between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is often crucial for proper treatment. The testing is particularly valuable for conditions where MRI or X-rays don’t show the full picture. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain, these tests can often pinpoint the exact cause when other diagnostic methods fall short.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary, which it typically is when you’re experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team handles the insurance paperwork and can explain your out-of-pocket costs upfront. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the answers you need about your health. If you have questions about coverage, call us before your appointment and we’ll check your specific benefits.
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 the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on certain medications like muscle relaxants, let us know beforehand as they might affect results. Don’t stop taking prescribed medications unless we specifically tell you to. Most importantly, try to stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep before your appointment, as this can affect nerve function.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on what we found. This might include referrals to physical therapy, recommendations for specific medications, or coordination with other specialists like orthopedic surgeons or neurologists. We’ll also send a detailed report to your referring physician so everyone involved in your care has the same information. The goal is to create a clear treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your symptoms, not just mask them. We’ll make sure you understand your options and feel confident about your next steps forward.
