Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple, Straightforward Testing

The testing process is more straightforward than most people expect. During an EMG, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles. It sounds worse than it is – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

For nerve conduction studies, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but nothing painful or harmful.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. We’ll discuss next steps right then and there, so you leave with a plan, not more questions.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Our testing evaluates both nerve and muscle function to give you a complete picture. We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, and various muscle disorders that might be causing your symptoms.

Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and concerns. If you’re experiencing numbness in your hands, we’ll focus on the nerves that control sensation and movement in that area. If back pain is radiating down your leg, we’ll evaluate the nerve pathways involved.

You’ll receive a detailed report of your results along with our recommendations for treatment. Whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions, we’ll coordinate with other specialists as needed to ensure you get comprehensive care.

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing is. The EMG involves inserting thin needles into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn or an injection. You might feel some discomfort, but it’s brief and manageable. The nerve conduction study uses surface electrodes and mild electrical pulses that create a tingling sensation – not painful, just unusual. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. We explain everything as we go and can adjust our approach if you’re particularly sensitive.
These tests can diagnose a wide range of conditions affecting nerves and muscles. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and various forms of nerve damage from injury or disease. The testing can also help determine if symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle problems, or other underlying conditions. We can evaluate issues in your arms, legs, back, neck, and other areas depending on your symptoms. The results help us understand not just what’s wrong, but how severe the problem is and what treatment options will be most effective.
You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the findings with you immediately after the procedure is complete, explaining what the results mean in plain language. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and our recommended next steps. We also provide a detailed written report that you can share with other healthcare providers if needed. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the tests showed – we believe you deserve answers right away, especially when you’ve been dealing with concerning symptoms.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. Avoid using lotions, oils, 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 certain medications like blood thinners, let us know in advance, though most medications don’t affect the testing. You can eat normally and continue your regular activities before and after the procedure. The testing doesn’t require any downtime, so you can return to work or normal activities immediately afterward.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms.

If you have questions about coverage or need help understanding your benefits, we’re happy to work with you. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the answers you need about your health, and we’ll explore all available options to make testing accessible.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on your specific diagnosis. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists if needed. We don’t just hand you results and send you on your way – we work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Many conditions we diagnose can be treated effectively with conservative approaches, while others might require more specialized care. We’ll coordinate with your other healthcare providers and ensure you have a clear path forward. Our goal is to not just diagnose your condition, but help you get the treatment that will actually improve your symptoms and quality of life.
