You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms for months. The numbness in your hands keeps you awake at night. That tingling in your legs makes walking uncomfortable. Your muscle weakness is affecting your grip strength and daily activities.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you the answers you need. Our EMG and nerve conduction studies pinpoint exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring. You’ll know if that numbness is carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, or something else entirely.

Clear diagnosis means targeted treatment. Instead of guessing what might help, your doctor can create a specific plan based on your test results. Many patients feel relief just knowing what they’re dealing with and having a path forward.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. We start by reviewing your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re investigating.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. This shows us if nerve damage is slowing down or blocking these signals. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to record electrical activity in your muscles, revealing whether muscle weakness stems from nerve problems or muscle disorders.

Most patients find the testing more comfortable than expected. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses during nerve conduction testing and brief pinching sensations during EMG. We explain each step as we go and can pause anytime you need a break.

You’ll receive your results the same day. We review exactly what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and share detailed reports with your referring physician for treatment planning.

Electromyography Country Club FL

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our diagnostic testing evaluates both motor and sensory nerve function throughout your body. We can test everything from suspected carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrists to peripheral neuropathy in your feet and legs.

The EMG portion measures muscle electrical activity to determine if weakness comes from nerve damage, muscle disease, or problems where nerves connect to muscles. Nerve conduction studies check how fast and strong electrical signals travel through specific nerves.

Many Country Club patients come to us after their primary care doctor notices decreased reflexes, unexplained numbness, or muscle weakness during routine exams. Others are referred after imaging studies like MRIs suggest nerve compression that needs functional testing to confirm.

We test for conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, and various muscle disorders. Each test is customized based on your specific symptoms and suspected diagnosis.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find nerve and muscle testing much more comfortable than they expected. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel mild electrical pulses similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG uses thin needle electrodes that cause brief pinching sensations when inserted, but the needles are much smaller than those used for blood draws. Many patients compare it to acupuncture. We work at your pace and can pause anytime you need a break. The entire process focuses on getting accurate results while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

How long do nerve conduction study results take?

You’ll receive your nerve and muscle testing results immediately after your appointment. We review the findings with you the same day, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. We provide detailed written reports that get sent to your referring physician within 24 hours. This quick turnaround helps your doctor start appropriate treatment without delay. If you’re seeing a specialist, having same-day results means your next appointment can focus on treatment options rather than waiting for test results.

What conditions can EMG and nerve testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions causing numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, radiculopathy from herniated discs, and various muscle disorders. The testing also identifies less common conditions like myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, and different types of nerve entrapment syndromes. Sometimes the testing rules out serious neurological conditions, which provides peace of mind. The key is that these tests show exactly where problems are occurring and how severe they are, which guides your doctor’s treatment decisions.

Do I need to prepare anything before my testing appointment?

Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know during scheduling, but these typically don’t prevent testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any recent imaging studies related to your symptoms. Most importantly, try to relax – many patients worry unnecessarily about discomfort that turns out to be very manageable.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing?

Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. This includes Medicare, most commercial insurance plans, and many Medicaid programs. Coverage typically requires that you have symptoms or clinical findings that justify the testing. We verify your insurance benefits before your appointment and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to ensure proper authorization when required. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling.

What's the difference between EMG testing and nerve conduction studies?

EMG and nerve conduction studies test different parts of your nervous system and are often done together for complete evaluation. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves by placing electrodes on your skin surface. This shows if nerves are damaged, compressed, or functioning normally. EMG uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to record electrical activity, revealing whether muscle weakness comes from nerve problems, muscle disease, or issues where nerves connect to muscles. Think of nerve conduction studies as testing the “wiring” while EMG tests the “motors.” Together, they provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular function.
