Nerve Function Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to test nerve function. Most patients describe this as feeling like small static shocks.

Electromyography testing evaluates your muscle function using a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and during contraction. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate.

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.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. Nerve conduction studies feel like small static shocks or rubber band snaps. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that may cause brief discomfort similar to getting an injection. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still providing accurate results. Many patients say the temporary discomfort during testing is worth finally getting clear answers about their symptoms.
A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we need to test. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the number of nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when you schedule your appointment. Plan to be in our office for about an hour to allow time for preparation, testing, and discussion of results.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team handles the insurance paperwork and will let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve compression, and spinal nerve problems. The testing can also help determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or other conditions. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that addresses the actual cause of your symptoms rather than just treating the pain.
There’s minimal preparation needed for your testing. Avoid using lotions or creams 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 taking blood thinners, let us know when you schedule your appointment. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise by your doctor.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We’ll explain the findings, what they mean for your condition, and discuss potential treatment options. We’ll also send a detailed report to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. Having immediate results means you can start making informed decisions about your treatment right away rather than waiting weeks for answers. We make sure you understand your results before you leave our office.
