EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Know Exactly What's Wrong, Not Maybe

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that disrupt your life. Numbness in your hands that makes typing difficult. Tingling in your feet that keeps you awake. Weakness that makes simple tasks feel impossible.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. When we measure how your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, we’re not guessing about your condition. We’re documenting exactly what’s happening in your body.

The relief comes from finally knowing. Once you understand whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, or another specific condition, you can move forward with targeted treatment instead of hoping different approaches might work.

We’ve performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies. That experience means we recognize patterns quickly and can explain your results in terms that make sense to you, not just medical jargon.

You’re not just getting a test. You’re getting an evaluation from specialists who understand how nerve and muscle disorders impact your daily life and what treatment options will actually help your specific situation.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens During Testing

Your nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals travel. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.

Next is the EMG portion. We use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The needle feels like a small pinch, and we only test the specific muscles related to your symptoms.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll see your results immediately on our computer screen, and we’ll explain what the measurements mean for your condition and treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing, Not Just Basic Screening

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your condition.

You receive detailed measurements of nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity levels. These objective findings show us exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.

Most importantly, you leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and specific recommendations for treatment. We don’t just hand you test results. We explain what they mean for your symptoms and what steps will actually help you feel better.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing is. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses or tingling sensations on your skin. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that feel like brief pinches. You might have some muscle soreness afterward, similar to a workout, but it typically resolves within a day. The discomfort is minimal compared to the chronic symptoms you’re already experiencing, and the answers you get make it worthwhile.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You get your results immediately during your appointment. We can see the nerve conduction measurements and muscle activity patterns on our computer screen as we perform the tests. After completing all the testing, we’ll spend time reviewing your results with you and explaining what they mean for your specific condition. You’ll leave the same day with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and treatment recommendations, not waiting weeks for someone to call you back.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and many other neurological conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring and how severe it is. We can differentiate between nerve problems and muscle problems, identify specific locations of nerve compression, and determine whether your symptoms are caused by diabetes, injury, or other underlying conditions.

Do I need to prepare anything before nerve testing?

Keep your skin clean and avoid using lotions or oils on 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. Don’t stop taking your regular medications unless we specifically tell you to. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, but you typically don’t need to stop them. Eat normally before your appointment and stay hydrated.

Will insurance cover my 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 will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team handles the insurance paperwork and can explain your expected costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, call our office and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling your testing.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your diagnostic results, we’ll discuss specific treatment options for your condition. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other treatments depending on what we find. We’ll coordinate with your referring physician and can provide referrals to specialists if needed. The key is that your treatment will be targeted to your actual diagnosis rather than guessing at what might help your symptoms.
