Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and how they affect your daily activities. This background helps guide which specific tests will give you the most useful information.

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity. The test shows whether your nerves are functioning normally or if there’s damage or compression affecting their performance.

Next is the electromyography, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This reveals whether muscle weakness is due to nerve problems or muscle disorders. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you’ll receive your results immediately with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same appointment. You’ll receive a complete evaluation that covers all the areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or other affected regions.

The testing identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. You’ll get detailed results that show exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.

Most importantly, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and specific recommendations for treatment. Whether that means referral to a specialist, physical therapy, medication, or other interventions, you’ll know exactly what steps to take next. We also coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care.

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like mild static electricity pulses – brief and tolerable. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that cause minimal discomfort, similar to acupuncture needles. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. The entire process is designed to gather the information needed while keeping you as comfortable as possible. Most patients say the relief of finally getting answers far outweighs any brief discomfort during testing.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We interpret the findings right away and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. There’s no waiting days or weeks for results – you’ll leave your appointment knowing exactly what the tests revealed about your nerve and muscle function. If additional consultation with other specialists is needed, those referrals are typically arranged the same day. This immediate feedback allows you to start planning your treatment approach without delay.
These tests can identify a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, sciatica, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve damage or compression. The testing distinguishes between nerve problems and muscle problems, pinpoints the exact location of issues, and determines severity levels. This precision helps your healthcare team develop the most effective treatment plan. Whether your symptoms are caused by diabetes, injury, repetitive strain, or other factors, the testing provides the specific information needed for accurate diagnosis.
While many patients are referred by their primary care physician or specialist, referral requirements depend on your specific insurance plan. It’s best to check with your insurance provider about their referral policies for diagnostic testing. Our staff can help verify your coverage and determine what’s needed before your appointment. Whether you have a referral or are seeking testing directly, we’ll work with you to ensure the process goes smoothly and that you get the diagnostic information you need.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. It’s helpful to think about when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily activities. This information helps us understand your situation and ensures the testing focuses on the most relevant areas.
Once you have your diagnosis, we’ll discuss treatment options and next steps specific to your condition. This might include referrals to other specialists, recommendations for physical therapy, medication options, or lifestyle modifications. We coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure everyone involved in your care has the information they need. You’ll receive copies of your test results and a clear treatment plan. Follow-up testing may be recommended in some cases to monitor your progress or response to treatment.
