Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness for weeks or months. Maybe your primary care doctor suspects nerve damage, or you’re experiencing symptoms that don’t make sense yet. Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers.

Our electromyography and nerve conduction studies measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Instead of guessing about your condition, you get precise data that shows where the problem is and how severe it might be.

This means your treatment plan targets the actual issue. No more trial-and-error approaches or wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” You get a clear diagnosis that guides real solutions.

We’ve been serving the East Grove community with specialized neurological care for years. Our team focuses specifically on nerve and muscle disorders, which means we see these conditions every day.

We understand that most patients come to us after dealing with confusing symptoms and incomplete answers elsewhere. That’s why we take time to explain what we’re testing, what the results mean, and what your options are moving forward.

We work closely with your referring physician and other healthcare providers to make sure everyone’s on the same page about your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Nerve Function Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-90 minutes, depending on which areas we’re evaluating. We start by reviewing your symptoms and medical history to understand exactly what’s been happening.

For the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity.

Most patients describe the sensations as uncomfortable but not painful. You can return to normal activities immediately after testing. We’ll review your results with you before you leave and send a detailed report to your referring doctor within 24-48 hours.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your hands and wrists for suspected carpal tunnel, your legs for sciatica, or multiple areas for more complex conditions.

You receive a comprehensive evaluation that measures nerve speed, muscle response, and the severity of any damage or dysfunction. This helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems and pinpoints exactly where the issue is occurring.

We also provide detailed explanations of your results in terms you can understand, plus recommendations for next steps. Many patients leave feeling relieved to finally have clear answers about what’s been causing their symptoms.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take between 45-90 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and which nerves or muscles we’re examining. We schedule enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can thoroughly test all the areas that might be contributing to your symptoms. You can plan to be here for about an hour and a half to be safe, though many appointments finish sooner.

Does EMG and nerve conduction testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – similar to static electricity but controlled. Most people find it surprising rather than painful. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes in your muscles, which feels like getting a shot or acupuncture. You might feel some discomfort, but it’s brief and manageable for most patients. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The discomfort stops immediately when the test is finished.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and many other conditions affecting your peripheral nervous system. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or dysfunction is occurring and how severe it is. This helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems that might cause similar symptoms. We can also determine if your symptoms are coming from nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle-related issues.

How should I prepare for my nerve testing appointment?

Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know ahead of time. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle symptoms.

When will I get my test results?

We review your preliminary results with you immediately after testing, so you’ll have a good understanding of what we found before you leave. The complete, detailed report goes to your referring doctor within 24-48 hours. If your doctor isn’t immediately available, we can also discuss the full results with you over the phone once the final report is complete. For urgent findings, we contact your referring physician the same day as your test.

Does insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can help you understand your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about coverage or need help with pre-authorization, we handle most of that process for you. We also offer payment plans for any portions not covered by insurance.
