Nerve Conduction Study 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.

The EMG portion tests how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. Small electrodes are placed on your skin or inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The nerve conduction study checks how fast and strong signals travel through your nerves using gentle electrical pulses.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies to get a complete picture of what’s happening. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss.

The evaluation covers all relevant nerve pathways and muscle groups related to your symptoms. Whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or other nerve disorders, we customize the testing protocol to your specific situation.

You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally, how severe the problem is, and whether it’s getting worse or staying stable. This information guides your treatment plan and helps track your progress over time.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels like getting a small injection. Any discomfort is brief and stops immediately when the test is finished. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while keeping you as comfortable as possible throughout the evaluation.

How long does EMG and nerve conduction testing take?

A typical nerve and muscle evaluation takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas need testing. Simple cases like carpal tunnel syndrome might only take 20-30 minutes, while more complex conditions affecting multiple nerve pathways can take up to an hour. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe based on your specific symptoms and the areas that need evaluation. Most of the time is spent on the actual testing, with a few minutes at the end to review initial findings.

Will I get my test results right away?

Yes, you’ll receive your results during the same appointment. We review the findings with you immediately after testing is complete, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. You’ll learn which nerves or muscles are affected, how severe the problem is, and what treatment options make sense for your situation. A detailed written report is also provided for your records and to share with other healthcare providers if needed.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The testing can also identify nerve damage from injuries, determine if weakness is coming from nerve or muscle problems, and track the progression of neurological conditions over time. It’s particularly useful when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that suggest nerve involvement.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. Avoid using lotions or creams 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. The most important thing is to arrive with a clear understanding of your symptoms to help guide the testing.

Is nerve and muscle testing covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. This includes Medicare and most major insurance carriers. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for evaluating nerve and muscle problems, similar to getting an X-ray or blood test. Our office staff will verify your coverage before your appointment and let you know about any out-of-pocket costs. Pre-authorization is sometimes required depending on your specific insurance plan, which we can help coordinate.
