Nerve and Muscle Evaluation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll discuss your symptoms in detail. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Where exactly do you feel them? This conversation helps us understand which nerves and muscles need the most attention.

Next comes the actual testing. 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 find the testing uncomfortable but not unbearable. The whole process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which areas we’re evaluating. Afterward, we’ll explain your results in plain language and discuss what they mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What You Get With Our Testing

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in terms you can actually understand. We don’t just hand you a stack of papers with medical jargon. We take time to explain what the numbers mean and how they relate to your symptoms.

We also coordinate with your referring physician to make sure everyone’s on the same page about your diagnosis and next steps. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, we’ll help guide you through that process too.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable rather than truly painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical shocks or rubber band snaps on your skin. The EMG portion involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which can cause brief sharp sensations and some muscle soreness afterward. The discomfort is temporary and most people tolerate it well. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort of the testing process.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. Simple cases focusing on one area might be shorter, while comprehensive testing of multiple limbs or muscle groups takes longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when you schedule based on your specific symptoms and the areas your doctor wants evaluated. Plan to be here for about an hour total, including time to discuss your results afterward.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, and can pinpoint exactly where along a nerve pathway the issue is occurring. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that cause numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle cramping. However, some conditions may require additional imaging or blood tests for complete diagnosis.

Do I need to prepare anything special before the test?

Avoid using lotions, oils, 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 we’re testing your arms, a short-sleeved shirt works best. For leg testing, shorts or pants that roll up easily are helpful. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered a diagnostic procedure, similar to an X-ray or MRI, so it’s typically covered under your medical benefits rather than requiring specialist copays. We’ll handle the insurance paperwork and let you know about any out-of-pocket costs before we begin testing.

When will I get my test results?

We’ll discuss your preliminary results immediately after testing while you’re still in the office. This gives you a general understanding of what we found and what it means for your symptoms. The complete written report is usually available within 24 to 48 hours and gets sent to your referring physician. We’ll also provide you with a copy of the results and can schedule a follow-up appointment if you need more detailed explanation of the findings or discussion about treatment options based on your diagnosis.
