Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with discussing your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’re experiencing and when it started.

For the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity.

Most testing takes 30-60 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 options.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle testing covers the full spectrum of diagnostic needs. We perform EMG testing for muscle disorders, nerve conduction studies for peripheral nerve problems, and combined testing when both systems need evaluation.

Whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or unexplained muscle weakness, we have the testing protocols to get answers. We work with your referring physician to ensure the testing addresses your specific symptoms and concerns.

Every test is performed by experienced specialists who understand the nuances of nerve and muscle function. We don’t just run the test – we interpret the results in the context of your unique situation.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small electrical shocks – uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG portion involves needle insertion, which feels similar to getting an injection. Some muscles may be tender afterward, but this typically resolves within a day or two. We work to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the testing, and most people find it much more tolerable than they expected. The discomfort is brief and the information we get is crucial for your diagnosis.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take to complete?

A typical nerve and muscle testing session takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we need to evaluate. Simple nerve conduction studies might take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive testing of multiple nerve and muscle groups can take up to 90 minutes. We’ll give you a time estimate when you schedule based on your specific symptoms and the testing your doctor has requested. We don’t rush through the process – accurate results require thorough testing.

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, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, pinpoints the exact location of nerve damage, and determines the severity of the condition. This information is essential for developing an effective treatment plan and avoiding unnecessary procedures or treatments that won’t help your specific situation.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to an X-ray or MRI, so coverage is typically good. We’ll handle the insurance paperwork and let you know about any out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises.

How soon will I get my test results?

You’ll get your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you during your appointment, explain what the results mean, and discuss how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what we found. We also send a detailed report to your referring physician the same day so they can incorporate the results into your treatment plan. No waiting weeks for results – you get answers right away.

Do I need to prepare anything special before the testing?

Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, 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 thinners, let us know when you schedule – you may need to stop them briefly before EMG testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, don’t take pain medications before testing as they can affect the results.
