Nerve Function Testing Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The testing process involves two main components: electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCV). During the nerve conduction study, small electrical impulses are applied to specific nerves while sensors measure how quickly and effectively those signals travel. This shows us exactly where nerve function might be compromised.

The EMG portion uses thin needles inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This tells us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals and helps us distinguish between nerve problems and muscle disorders.

Most patients complete both tests in a single appointment lasting about 45-60 minutes. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a comprehensive report and treatment recommendations within a few days. The information we gather becomes the foundation for your entire treatment plan.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Picture

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a thorough evaluation of both sensory and motor function. We test multiple nerve pathways to identify patterns that might indicate specific conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, or muscle disorders.

The testing covers both upper and lower extremities when indicated, giving us a complete picture of your nervous system function. We also correlate these findings with your medical history, symptoms, and any imaging studies you’ve had. This comprehensive approach means we catch problems that might be missed with less thorough testing.

You’ll receive detailed explanations of your results, what they mean for your condition, and how they guide your treatment options. We make sure you understand not just what’s wrong, but why it’s happening and what we can do about it.

The nerve conduction study portion involves mild electrical stimulation that feels like small static shocks – uncomfortable but not painful for most people. The EMG uses thin needles that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture. Most patients tolerate both tests well, and any discomfort is temporary. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable. The valuable information we get from these tests far outweighs the brief discomfort for most patients.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your testing is complete. We can tell you right away if we see obvious abnormalities and what they likely mean. The complete written report with detailed analysis and treatment recommendations is typically ready within 2-3 business days. If your results indicate an urgent condition, we’ll contact you the same day. We also schedule a follow-up consultation to review your results thoroughly and discuss your treatment options in detail.
These tests can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves from the spine), muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve entrapment. We can also identify the difference between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for proper treatment. The tests help us determine the severity of your condition, which nerves or muscles are affected, and whether the problem is getting worse or staying stable.
Preparation is minimal but important. Keep your skin clean and avoid using lotions or oils on the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrical measurements. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking muscle relaxants or certain other medications, let us know – we may ask you to temporarily adjust them before testing. Continue taking all other medications as prescribed. Eat normally before your appointment and stay hydrated.
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 staff handles the prior authorization process when required and will let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. These tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures, so coverage is typically good. We also offer payment plans if you have high deductibles or other financial concerns.
Once we have your complete results, we’ll schedule a consultation to review everything in detail. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and present your treatment options. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or other interventions. We coordinate with other specialists when needed and help you understand the timeline for improvement. Our goal is to create a clear, actionable treatment plan based on your specific test results and symptoms.
