We use advanced electromyography and nerve conduction equipment that provides accurate, reliable results. We’ve diagnosed thousands of cases ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to diabetic neuropathy to spinal nerve compression.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we review your symptoms and medical history to understand what areas need testing. This helps us focus on the nerves and muscles most likely causing your problems.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. It feels like mild static electricity. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure muscle activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report explaining what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle Nerve Evaluation

Complete Testing That Covers All Bases

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates both sensory and motor function to give you the complete picture. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity to identify exactly where problems exist.

This comprehensive approach catches conditions that limited testing might miss. Whether you’re dealing with workplace injuries, diabetic complications, or unexplained neurological symptoms, we have the diagnostic tools to find answers.

Many Mahwah residents choose us because we accept most insurance plans and provide same-day scheduling when you need answers quickly. You don’t have to drive to New York City for quality nerve testing when it’s available right here in North Jersey.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild static electricity or small shocks. The EMG uses thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Any discomfort is brief and stops immediately when the test ends. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize any uncomfortable sensations. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort during testing.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take to complete?

Testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome may take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations for multiple symptoms can take up to 90 minutes. We’ll give you an estimated time frame when you schedule based on your specific symptoms. Most patients appreciate that we provide preliminary results immediately rather than making you wait days for answers.

Will my insurance cover EMG and nerve conduction studies?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept Medicare, most major insurance plans, and can verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered diagnostic rather than experimental, so coverage is typically straightforward. We’ll handle the insurance paperwork and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises after your testing.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing actually diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and many other neurological conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage exists, how severe it is, and whether the problem is with the nerve itself or the muscle. This information is crucial for determining whether you need surgery, medication, physical therapy, or other treatments. It also helps rule out serious conditions so you know what you’re not dealing with.

How soon can I get nerve testing scheduled in Mahwah?

We typically offer appointments within 1-2 weeks, and often have same-day or next-day availability for urgent situations. Unlike larger medical centers that may have month-long waiting lists, we understand that nerve and muscle symptoms can significantly impact your daily life. When you’re dealing with pain, numbness, or weakness, waiting months for answers isn’t acceptable. Call us in the morning and we’ll often get you scheduled that same week.

What should I expect after nerve and muscle testing is completed?

You’ll receive preliminary results immediately after testing, with a detailed written report within 24-48 hours. We explain what the results mean in plain language and discuss your treatment options based on what we found. If the results show nerve damage or muscle problems, we’ll refer you to appropriate specialists or recommend specific treatments. If results are normal, that’s valuable information too – it helps rule out serious conditions and guides your doctor toward other potential causes of your symptoms.
