Nerve Conduction Study Process Marble Hill

Here's What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to determine which tests will give us the clearest picture. Most patients need both EMG testing and nerve conduction studies for a complete evaluation.

During nerve conduction testing, we place small electrodes on your skin and measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. For EMG testing, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The whole process typically takes 30-60 minutes.

You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We explain what the measurements mean for your specific situation and provide detailed reports to your referring physician the same day. No waiting weeks to understand what’s happening with your body.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients describe nerve conduction testing as feeling like small electrical pulses – uncomfortable but not painful. EMG testing involves thin needles, so you’ll feel brief pinching sensations when needles are inserted. The discomfort is temporary and most people tolerate it well. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.

We provide a detailed written report to your referring physician the same day. You don’t have to wait weeks wondering about your results – you’ll leave our office understanding exactly what the testing revealed about your nerve and muscle function.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and various other conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle problems are occurring, how severe they are, and whether the issue is getting worse or improving. This information helps determine the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition.

Do you accept insurance for nerve testing?

Yes, we work with most major insurance plans for nerve and muscle testing. EMG and nerve conduction studies are typically covered when ordered by your physician to diagnose symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness. We verify your coverage before your appointment and provide transparent pricing information upfront. Our billing team handles insurance claims directly, so you don’t have to deal with complicated paperwork or surprise bills after your testing.

How should I prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Avoid using lotions or oils 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 on blood-thinning medications, let us know when scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The testing doesn’t require any special preparation, and you can drive yourself to and from the appointment.

Can nerve testing show if my symptoms will get worse?

EMG and nerve conduction studies show the current state of your nerve and muscle function, including the severity of any damage or dysfunction. While we can’t predict the future with certainty, the testing results help determine whether your condition is likely to progress, remain stable, or improve with treatment. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan and understanding what to expect. Follow-up testing can track changes over time if needed.
