Miami Nerve Function Testing

Specialists Who Actually Listen

We’ve been providing diagnostic testing for Miami residents who need straight answers about their nerve and muscle problems. Our board-certified physicians use advanced EMG equipment to get accurate results the first time.

We’ve performed thousands of nerve conduction studies and electromyography tests. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting an evaluation from specialists who understand what your symptoms mean and how to explain your results clearly.

Most of our patients have been frustrated by previous tests that didn’t provide useful information. We focus on thorough testing and clear explanations so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms. We need to understand where you’re experiencing problems and what makes them better or worse.

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes placed on your skin measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. It feels like mild static electricity – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

EMG testing follows if needed. A thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles records electrical activity. This shows us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes, and you’ll get your results immediately after testing is complete.

Muscle Function Test Miami

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your testing includes comprehensive nerve conduction studies that measure signal speed and strength in both sensory and motor nerves. We test multiple nerve pathways to identify exactly where problems are occurring.

Electromyography testing evaluates muscle response patterns. This reveals whether weakness or pain stems from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or problems at the connection points between nerves and muscles.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment options. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary, and we handle prior authorization requirements to minimize delays.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45-60 minutes from start to finish. The actual testing time depends on how many nerve pathways we need to evaluate based on your symptoms. Nerve conduction studies typically take 15-30 minutes, while EMG testing adds another 15-30 minutes if needed. We explain each step as we go, so you know what to expect. You’ll get your results immediately after testing, along with an explanation of what the findings mean for your specific situation.

Does EMG testing hurt?

EMG testing involves brief discomfort rather than significant pain. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild static electricity or small rubber band snaps. The EMG needle insertion feels similar to getting blood drawn – a quick pinch followed by mild muscle soreness. Most patients tolerate the testing well and say it’s less uncomfortable than they expected. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing is complete. We work efficiently to minimize any discomfort while ensuring accurate results.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle disorders. We accept most major insurance plans and handle prior authorization requirements when needed. Our staff verifies your coverage before scheduling and explains any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. Medicare typically covers these tests with appropriate documentation of symptoms. We recommend calling your insurance company to confirm your specific benefits, but diagnostic testing generally has good coverage compared to treatment procedures.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. The tests reveal whether numbness and tingling come from nerve compression, damage, or muscle problems. We can identify specific locations where nerves are compressed or damaged, which helps determine the best treatment approach. EMG testing also detects muscle disorders that might be causing weakness or pain. The results help distinguish between different types of nerve problems that might have similar symptoms.

When will I get my test results?

You’ll receive your nerve and muscle testing results immediately after the procedure is complete. We review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the results mean in plain language. You’ll understand which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally and how severe the problem is. We provide written results that you can share with other healthcare providers if needed. This same-day approach eliminates the anxiety of waiting for results and allows you to start planning your next steps right away.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Don’t stop taking medications unless specifically instructed by your doctor. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know in advance, but you typically don’t need to stop them for this type of testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle problems.
