Electromyography Testing Process Brooklyn

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

The actual testing involves two main components. Electromyography measures the electrical activity in your muscles, while nerve conduction studies check how well your nerves are transmitting signals. The process is thorough but not painful.

Most patients get their results the same day. We’ll explain exactly what the tests show and what it means for your treatment options. You’ll leave knowing what’s causing your symptoms and what steps to take next.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your comprehensive evaluation includes both EMG testing and nerve conduction studies. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

Our diagnostic approach looks at the complete picture. We’re not just running tests – we’re connecting your symptoms to the underlying nerve or muscle function problems. This means you get a diagnosis that actually explains what you’re feeling.

Many of our Midwood patients appreciate that we accept most insurance plans and provide transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees – just the testing you need to move forward with confidence.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most comprehensive nerve and muscle testing takes 45-90 minutes, depending on which areas we need to evaluate. The actual EMG and nerve conduction studies are just part of the time – we also spend time discussing your symptoms and explaining the results. Many patients are surprised that it’s not as time-consuming as they expected, especially when you consider you’re getting definitive answers about your condition in a single visit.

Is EMG and nerve conduction testing painful?

The testing involves some discomfort but isn’t painful for most patients. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches. The EMG portion involves inserting thin needles into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture. Most people find the temporary discomfort is worth it for the clear answers they get about their symptoms. We explain everything as we go so you know exactly what to expect.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve damage. The testing is particularly valuable for distinguishing between different types of nerve problems and determining the severity of your condition. This precision helps us recommend the most effective treatment approach rather than guessing based on symptoms alone.

Do I need a referral for nerve and muscle testing?

While some insurance plans require referrals, many patients can schedule directly with us. We recommend checking with your insurance provider first, but don’t let referral requirements delay getting the answers you need. Our staff can help you understand your coverage and work with your primary care doctor if a referral is needed. The important thing is getting your symptoms properly evaluated sooner rather than later.

How quickly can I get my test results?

Most patients receive their results during the same appointment. We review the findings with you immediately after testing, explaining what the results mean and discussing your treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. If additional analysis is needed, we’ll have complete results within 24-48 hours and will contact you promptly to discuss the findings.

What should I do to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. Avoid using lotions or oils 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let us know in advance. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail – the more information you can provide, the more targeted and effective your testing will be.
