EMG Testing Le Jeune Gardens

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with nerve pain, tingling, or muscle weakness for too long without real answers. Generic treatments aren’t working because nobody’s taken the time to figure out exactly what’s happening in your body.

Nerve and muscle testing changes that. EMG and nerve conduction studies measure how your nerves and muscles actually function, not just how they look on an X-ray or MRI. You get precise data about nerve speed, muscle response, and exactly where the problem starts.

When you know the root cause, treatment actually works. No more guessing. No more trying random therapies that might help. Just targeted care based on what your body is telling us through comprehensive neuromuscular evaluation.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes placed on your skin send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s over quickly.

Next is the EMG, or electromyography test. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This shows whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals or if there’s damage affecting function.

Both tests typically take 30-60 minutes total. You get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report explaining exactly what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options. No waiting weeks to understand what’s wrong.

Comprehensive Muscle Function Testing

Complete Neuromuscular Evaluation

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. This comprehensive approach evaluates the entire pathway from your brain to your muscles, identifying problems other tests miss.

The evaluation covers motor nerves that control movement, sensory nerves that carry feeling, and muscle response patterns. This complete picture helps distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms, like carpal tunnel syndrome versus cervical radiculopathy.

You receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw data. We explain findings in terms you understand and discuss how the results guide your treatment plan. Many patients leave feeling relieved to finally have concrete answers about their condition.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like brief electrical tingling or mild shock sensations. Most people tolerate this easily since each pulse lasts only milliseconds. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. You might feel slight discomfort when the needle goes in, but it’s not painful once positioned. The entire procedure is designed to minimize discomfort while gathering accurate diagnostic information. Many patients are surprised that it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You get preliminary results immediately after testing. We review findings with you right away, explaining what the nerve conduction speeds and muscle responses indicate about your condition. A detailed written report is typically available within 24-48 hours and sent to your referring doctor. This quick turnaround means you don’t spend weeks wondering about results. If the findings suggest a condition requiring prompt treatment, recommendations are made during your visit so you can take action immediately.

What conditions can EMG and nerve testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders like myositis, and peripheral neuropathy from various causes. The tests distinguish between nerve root problems in your spine versus peripheral nerve issues in your arms or legs. They also identify whether symptoms come from nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. This precision helps avoid misdiagnosis and ensures you receive appropriate treatment for your specific condition rather than generic approaches.

Should I prepare anything special before nerve testing?

Keep your skin clean and avoid using lotions or oils on the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Don’t stop taking prescribed medications unless specifically instructed by your doctor. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, inform our staff beforehand. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and discuss your symptoms. The more specific information you provide about when and where you experience problems, the more targeted and useful your testing will be.

Will insurance cover my nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary EMG and nerve conduction studies when ordered by a physician for diagnostic purposes. Coverage typically requires documentation of symptoms like persistent numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that suggests nerve or muscle problems. Prior authorization may be needed depending on your specific plan. Our office staff verifies your insurance benefits before scheduling and provides cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. We work with most major insurance providers and can discuss payment options if you have high deductible plans or limited coverage.

What happens after I get my test results?

Results are sent to your referring physician who uses them to develop your treatment plan. Depending on findings, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgical consultation. If results show nerve compression that could worsen without treatment, urgent referrals are made. For conditions like diabetic neuropathy, results help monitor progression and adjust management. Many patients find that having definitive test results makes their other doctors take their symptoms more seriously and provide more targeted care. Follow-up testing may be recommended to track improvement or progression over time.
