Nerve Function Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The electromyography portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin or thin needles into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity and shows us exactly how your muscles are responding to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study uses surface electrodes to measure how quickly and effectively signals travel along your nerves.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing covers the full spectrum of potential issues. We can evaluate peripheral nerves in your arms, legs, hands, and feet. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and diabetic neuropathy.

The muscle function testing component identifies whether weakness comes from nerve damage, muscle disease, or problems at the junction where nerves connect to muscles. This distinction is crucial for determining the right treatment approach.

Every test includes a detailed report for your referring physician and immediate discussion of findings with you. We coordinate with your other doctors to ensure your treatment plan addresses exactly what we’ve discovered through testing.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity. The EMG portion involves thin needles that cause brief, sharp sensations when inserted, but most people tolerate it well. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

How long do nerve conduction study results take?

You get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. We also provide a detailed written report for your referring physician the same day. There’s no waiting weeks to understand what’s wrong – you leave our office with clear answers about your nerve and muscle function.

What conditions can EMG and nerve testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle diseases, and problems at the neuromuscular junction. We can determine if your symptoms come from nerve compression, nerve damage, muscle disorders, or spinal nerve root issues. The testing helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems and identifies the specific location and severity of any damage.

Do I need to prepare anything before nerve testing?

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 thinners, let us know beforehand. Otherwise, no special preparation is needed. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The testing doesn’t require sedation, so you can drive yourself home afterward.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by your physician. We verify your coverage before your appointment and provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to ensure proper authorization and minimize your financial responsibility. We also offer payment plans for any portions not covered by insurance.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we’ve identified the source of your symptoms, we discuss treatment options immediately. Depending on what we find, this might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referral to specialists for specific treatments. We coordinate directly with your referring physician and provide detailed recommendations based on your test results. Our goal is ensuring you have a clear path forward, not just a diagnosis without solutions.
