Nerve and Muscle Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing, when it started, and what makes it better or worse.

During the EMG portion, we test how well your muscles respond to electrical signals. Small electrodes measure muscle activity to identify any dysfunction. The nerve conduction study checks how efficiently electrical signals travel through your nerves by measuring response times at different points.

Most patients find the testing more comfortable than they expected. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you’ll get your results the same day. We’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Picture

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies using state-of-the-art equipment. We test multiple nerve pathways to identify exactly where problems are occurring and how severe they are.

You’ll receive a detailed report that clearly explains your results and what they mean for your condition. This information is crucial for your referring physician to develop an effective treatment plan. Many patients tell us this testing finally gave them the answers they’d been searching for.

We also provide guidance on next steps, whether that’s specific treatments, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists who can help address your particular condition.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during nerve and muscle testing. The EMG involves small needle electrodes that feel like brief pinpricks, while nerve conduction studies use surface electrodes that create a tingling sensation. The discomfort is temporary and much less than most people expect. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any minor discomfort during the 30-45 minute procedure.

How long does it take to get results from EMG testing?

You’ll get your nerve and muscle testing results the same day as your appointment. We interpret the data immediately after testing and explain your results before you leave. We provide a detailed written report that clearly describes what we found and what it means for your condition. This report goes to your referring physician within 24 hours, so your treatment planning can move forward quickly. Having immediate results means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering what the tests revealed.

What conditions can nerve conduction studies detect?

Nerve conduction studies and EMG testing can diagnose many conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. Common conditions we identify include carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The testing shows exactly where nerve damage is occurring, how severe it is, and whether the problem is with the nerve itself or the muscle. This precision helps your doctor recommend the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition.

Do I need to prepare anything special before nerve testing?

Preparation for nerve and muscle testing 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 contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you take blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Come with a list of your current symptoms and when they started. Most importantly, try to relax – the testing is much more comfortable than most patients anticipate.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle diagnostic testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. EMG and nerve conduction studies are standard diagnostic procedures that insurance companies recognize as essential for diagnosing neurological conditions. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff handles the insurance paperwork and prior authorizations when needed. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

EMG and nerve conduction studies test different parts of your nervous system to give a complete picture. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves by stimulating nerves at different points and measuring response times. EMG tests how your muscles respond to nerve signals using small electrodes placed in the muscle. Together, these tests can determine whether your symptoms come from nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. Having both tests during the same appointment gives your doctor comprehensive information needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
