Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment is straightforward and typically takes 30-60 minutes. First, we’ll discuss your symptoms, when they started, and how they’re affecting your daily life. This conversation helps us target the testing to your specific concerns.

During the electromyography portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we place sensors on your skin and deliver mild electrical pulses to test how fast and strong your nerve signals are. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to static electricity.

You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We’ll explain exactly what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss your treatment options right then and there. No waiting weeks for answers or playing phone tag with your doctor’s office.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our comprehensive nerve and muscle testing evaluates multiple aspects of your neurological function. We test nerve conduction velocity to see how quickly signals travel through your nerves, measure muscle response to electrical stimulation, and assess the overall health of your neuromuscular system.

This testing is particularly valuable for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. We can also identify the difference between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Many East Little Havana residents come to us after dealing with work-related repetitive stress injuries or diabetes-related nerve damage. Our testing helps determine the extent of nerve involvement and guides decisions about surgery, physical therapy, or other treatments.

The testing involves mild electrical stimulation that most patients tolerate well. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel brief pulses similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG portion uses very thin electrodes that may cause slight discomfort when inserted, but it’s typically less painful than getting blood drawn. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still providing accurate diagnostic information. Most patients are surprised that it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the data with you during the same appointment, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. This is different from many medical tests where you wait days or weeks for results. We believe you shouldn’t have to live with uncertainty about your health, especially when you’re dealing with pain or neurological symptoms that are affecting your daily life.
Most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician. We accept most insurance plans commonly used in the East Little Havana area. Our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. We believe financial surprises shouldn’t add stress to your healthcare experience, so we’re transparent about costs from the beginning.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The testing is particularly useful for determining the location and severity of nerve damage, which is essential for creating an effective treatment plan. It can also rule out serious conditions and provide peace of mind when symptoms are concerning but not dangerous.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know in advance. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after testing.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options that make sense for your specific condition and lifestyle. This might include physical therapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists if needed. We’ll also provide you with a copy of your results to share with other healthcare providers. Our goal is to create a clear path forward that addresses your symptoms and helps you get back to the activities that matter to you.
