Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process is straightforward and happens right in our Little Neck office. During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to record the electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us exactly how your muscles and the nerves that control them are working together.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. 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. We coordinate with your referring physician to make sure everyone’s on the same page about next steps.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, giving us a complete picture of what’s happening. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

Many of our Little Neck patients come to us after months of uncertainty about conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel, or diabetic nerve damage. The testing pinpoints exactly which nerves are affected and how severely, so there’s no more guessing about treatment.

You’ll receive a detailed report that you can share with other doctors, and we’ll discuss realistic expectations for improvement based on your specific results. Most importantly, you’ll finally have the answers you need to move forward with confidence.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled and brief. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that feel like small pinpricks. The discomfort is temporary and well worth the clear answers you’ll get. We explain each step as we go, and you can ask us to pause anytime if you need a break. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate results.

How long do the test results take?

You get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right there in the office, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your specific situation. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. We also prepare a detailed written report for your referring physician, which is typically sent within 24-48 hours. This immediate feedback is one of the biggest advantages of nerve and muscle testing – no waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong.

What conditions can nerve testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and many other conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The testing shows us exactly which nerves are damaged, how severely, and whether the problem is with the nerve itself or the muscle it controls. This precision helps distinguish between similar conditions that might feel the same but require completely different treatments. It’s particularly helpful for conditions like herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy, and repetitive strain injuries.

Is nerve and muscle testing covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by your physician for diagnostic purposes. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront, so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, call our Little Neck office and we’ll check your benefits. The diagnostic value of these tests usually makes them a covered benefit under most plans.

Do I need to prepare for the testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions or creams on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though this rarely affects the testing. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before your appointment, as it can affect muscle activity. Most importantly, come with a list of your current symptoms and any questions you want answered.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on what we found. This might include physical therapy, medications, lifestyle changes, or referrals to specialists if needed. We coordinate closely with your referring physician to make sure your treatment plan addresses the specific nerve or muscle problems we identified. Many conditions we diagnose respond well to conservative treatment, while others might need more specialized care. The key is that you’ll finally have a clear roadmap for addressing your symptoms instead of just managing them.
