EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Pain that shoots down your arm or leg. Your regular doctor says “let’s wait and see” but you need answers now.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No guessing. No assumptions. Just clear data about what’s working and what isn’t.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can finally get the right treatment. Instead of trying random therapies that might help, you get targeted care that addresses the real problem. That’s the difference between managing symptoms and actually getting better.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we talk through your symptoms and medical history. When did this start? What makes it better or worse? Where exactly do you feel the problems? This conversation guides which tests we need to run.

The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static shocks. Takes about 30 minutes.

Then we do the EMG if needed. A thin needle electrode goes into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Sounds worse than it is – most people tolerate it fine. We’re checking how well your muscles respond to nerve signals.

You get your results the same day. We explain what the numbers mean, what condition you likely have, and what treatment options make sense. No medical jargon. No confusing reports you can’t understand.

Comprehensive Neurological Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies when appropriate. We don’t just run standard tests – we customize the evaluation based on your specific symptoms and concerns.

You get detailed measurements of nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity levels. We test multiple nerve pathways to build a complete picture of what’s happening in your body.

Most importantly, you leave with a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. We coordinate with your other doctors and provide detailed reports they can use to guide your care. No more bouncing between specialists who don’t communicate with each other.

This is diagnostic testing done right – thorough, accurate, and focused on getting you the answers you need to move forward with effective treatment.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 60-90 minutes total. The nerve conduction study usually takes 30-45 minutes, and EMG testing adds another 30-45 minutes if needed. We don’t rush through your evaluation because accuracy matters more than speed. You’ll also spend time discussing your results with the doctor, so plan for about 90 minutes total. We know your time is valuable, so we stay on schedule and make every minute count toward getting you clear answers about your condition.

Does EMG and nerve conduction testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical taps or mild static shocks. Most people describe it as surprising but not painful. EMG testing involves thin needle electrodes, which feels like small pinpricks followed by mild pressure. The discomfort is brief and manageable – similar to getting blood drawn. We use the smallest electrodes possible and work efficiently to minimize any discomfort. Most patients say the testing was much easier than they expected. The temporary discomfort is worth it for the accurate diagnosis you’ll receive.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, radiculopathy, and many other neurological conditions. We can identify exactly which nerves are damaged, how severe the problem is, and whether it’s getting worse or improving. The testing also rules out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy when those are concerns. EMG and nerve conduction studies provide objective evidence of nerve damage that imaging studies like MRI often can’t detect. This makes it essential for diagnosing many pain and weakness conditions.

Will insurance cover my nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered diagnostic, not experimental, so coverage is usually straightforward. We’ll handle the prior authorization if your plan requires it. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us and we’ll check your benefits before you come in.

How soon will I get my test results?

You get your results immediately after testing. The doctor reviews your nerve conduction and EMG findings with you during the same appointment, explains what they mean, and discusses treatment options. You don’t wait days or weeks wondering what’s wrong. We provide a detailed written report for your records and send copies to your referring physician the same day. If additional consultation with other specialists is needed, we coordinate that referral with your results in hand. Getting quick, clear answers is one of the main benefits of our comprehensive diagnostic approach.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal but important. Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing – they interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know but don’t stop taking them unless your doctor specifically tells you to. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The most important preparation is bringing a list of your specific symptoms and when they occur.
