Nerve Function Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. No rushing through this part – we need to understand what you’re experiencing and when it started.

The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to check your muscle activity. The needle is very small, and most people tolerate it well. We’re measuring whether your muscles respond normally to nerve signals.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What You Get With Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a comprehensive evaluation of the specific areas causing your symptoms. We test nerve conduction speed, muscle response times, and electrical activity to create a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive same-day results with a detailed explanation from your physician. We don’t just hand you a report – we sit down and walk through exactly what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. Our billing team handles the insurance process, so you can focus on getting the answers you need. We also provide transparent pricing information upfront, so there are no surprises later.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical taps or mild static shocks. The EMG uses a very thin needle that causes brief discomfort when inserted, similar to getting blood drawn. The actual testing sensations are tolerable for most people. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the test.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete testing process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Some patients with localized symptoms might finish in 30 minutes, while those with more widespread issues may need the full hour. We don’t rush through your test – accuracy is more important than speed. You’ll also spend time before and after the test discussing your symptoms and results with the physician, so plan for about 90 minutes total for your appointment.

Will I get my test results the same day?

Yes, you’ll receive your results immediately after testing. Unlike some diagnostic procedures that require days or weeks for interpretation, nerve and muscle testing provides real-time data that we can analyze right away. Your physician will sit down with you to explain the findings, what they mean for your condition, and discuss next steps for treatment. You’ll leave our office with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and a copy of your results to share with other healthcare providers if needed.

Does insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and handle the pre-authorization process when required. Our billing team will verify your coverage before your appointment and provide you with estimated out-of-pocket costs. If you don’t have insurance or prefer to pay directly, we offer transparent pricing and payment options. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis – we’ll work with you on the financial aspects.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These tests can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, herniated disc complications, and many other conditions affecting nerve and muscle function. The testing shows us exactly where problems exist – whether it’s nerve compression, muscle weakness, or damage to the nerve pathways themselves. This precision helps distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms, ensuring you get the right treatment instead of generic approaches that might not address your specific problem.

Do I need to prepare anything before my test?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing – they can interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you usually don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come ready to discuss your symptoms in detail – the more information you provide, the more targeted and effective your testing will be.
