Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a brief consultation about your symptoms and medical history. This helps us determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information about your condition.

During the EMG portion, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. Both tests are performed in the same appointment and typically take 30-60 minutes total.

You get your results immediately after testing. Our physician reviews each finding with you, explains what the results mean for your specific situation, and discusses your treatment options. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies, giving you a complete picture of your neurological function. Our testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc complications, and various muscle disorders.

Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and concerns. If you’re experiencing hand numbness, we focus on median nerve function and carpal tunnel evaluation. For leg pain or weakness, we examine nerve roots and muscle response in the affected areas.

Our comprehensive approach means you won’t need multiple appointments or referrals to different facilities. Everything is handled in one visit, with immediate results and consultation about your treatment options.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief pinches or static shocks. The EMG uses very thin electrodes that may cause slight muscle soreness similar to a vaccination. The entire process is well-tolerated by patients of all ages, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. Many patients are surprised that the testing is much more comfortable than they expected.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need testing. Simple cases like suspected carpal tunnel may take closer to 30 minutes, while comprehensive testing for multiple symptoms might require the full hour. You’ll also spend time before and after the test discussing your symptoms and results with our physician. Plan for about 90 minutes total for your appointment, including consultation time and paperwork.

Will my insurance cover EMG and nerve conduction studies?

Most major insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. This includes Medicare, most commercial insurance plans, and many HMO/PPO networks. Coverage typically requires symptoms like persistent numbness, muscle weakness, or nerve pain that hasn’t responded to initial treatment. Our office staff will verify your specific coverage before your appointment and provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Prior authorization is usually not required for these diagnostic tests.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle diseases, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. It can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether problems are related to nerve roots, peripheral nerves, or muscle function. The results help distinguish between different conditions that may cause similar symptoms, ensuring you get the right treatment for your specific diagnosis.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal but important for accurate results. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, inform our office beforehand, though testing can usually still be performed safely. Continue taking your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring a list of current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

When will I get my test results?

You receive your results immediately after testing is complete. Our physician reviews all findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what each result means and how it relates to your symptoms. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps. A detailed written report is also prepared for your records and can be sent to your referring physician or other healthcare providers. This immediate consultation eliminates the anxiety of waiting days or weeks for results and allows you to make informed treatment decisions right away.
