Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. You’ve tried treatments that barely helped because nobody knew exactly what was wrong.

Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic studies measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. Instead of guessing about your condition, you get objective data that shows exactly where the problem is and how severe it’s become.

When you know what’s actually happening in your body, your doctor can recommend treatments that target the real issue. No more trial and error. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” Just clear answers that lead to better care.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’re experiencing and where the problems might be coming from.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode checks how your muscles respond to nerve signals. Most people find the testing uncomfortable but not painful, and each test typically takes 30-60 minutes.

After testing, we explain the results in terms you can understand. You’ll know which nerves or muscles aren’t working properly, how severe the problem is, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCV) when needed. These tests work together to give a complete picture of your neurological function.

The evaluation covers common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders. Many Hadley Park residents come in with symptoms they’ve had for months or years, finally getting the definitive diagnosis they need.

You’ll receive a detailed report of findings that you can share with other healthcare providers. This ensures everyone involved in your care understands exactly what’s happening and can make informed treatment decisions based on objective data rather than guesswork.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – similar to static electricity but controlled and brief. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that may cause some discomfort when inserted, but the needles are much smaller than those used for blood draws. The entire process is designed to gather necessary information while minimizing discomfort. Many patients are surprised that it’s more tolerable than they expected.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 45-90 minutes, depending on how many areas need to be tested. Simple studies for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome might take 30-45 minutes, while more comprehensive testing for multiple symptoms can take longer. We will explain what tests you need and give you a time estimate before starting. Most of this time involves the actual testing, with results discussion happening immediately afterward so you leave with clear answers about your condition.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These diagnostic studies can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica from pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, muscle disorders, and many other nerve-related conditions. The testing shows exactly where nerve damage or compression is occurring and how severe the problem has become. This information is crucial for determining whether you need surgery, physical therapy, medication, or other treatments. Many patients finally get answers about symptoms they’ve had for months or years.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important guidelines. 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 beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Most people can drive themselves to and from the appointment without any problems.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. These are standard diagnostic procedures that doctors use to evaluate nerve and muscle problems. Your insurance typically requires that conservative treatments have been tried first, or that your symptoms are severe enough to warrant immediate testing. Our office staff can verify your coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs before scheduling your appointment, so you know what to expect financially.

When will I get my test results?

You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing, with us explaining what the studies show and what it means for your condition. A detailed written report is usually available within 24-48 hours and will be sent to your referring physician if applicable. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of nerve and muscle testing – you don’t have to wait weeks wondering what’s wrong. We will discuss treatment options based on the findings and help you understand next steps for managing your condition.
