Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. We place small electrodes on your skin and deliver mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as a brief tingling sensation. Electromyography tests your muscle function using a thin needle electrode that detects electrical activity in your muscles.

Most testing sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates the complete picture of your neuromuscular health. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response times, and electrical activity patterns to identify exactly where problems are occurring.

The testing covers common conditions affecting Ocean View Heights residents – carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive work tasks, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, and age-related nerve compression. We also evaluate less common conditions that other providers might overlook.

You receive detailed results that show not just what’s wrong, but how severe it is and whether it’s getting worse. This information guides your treatment plan and helps predict your recovery timeline. Most insurance plans cover diagnostic testing, and we’ll verify your coverage before your appointment.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. Nerve conduction studies feel like brief electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but more controlled. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that cause minimal discomfort, similar to acupuncture needles. The entire process is much less uncomfortable than living with your current symptoms. We explain each step as we go and can adjust the testing intensity if needed. Most people are surprised that it’s easier than they expected.
You get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you during your appointment, explaining what the results mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps. We also provide a detailed written report for your records and to share with other healthcare providers. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the test showed – you get answers the same day.
Our testing identifies a wide range of neuromuscular conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. We can determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle weakness, or other neuromuscular problems. The testing also helps rule out serious conditions and distinguish between different types of nerve disorders that require different treatments. This precision prevents you from receiving treatments that won’t help your specific condition.
Preparation is minimal. 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let us know in advance but don’t stop them without your doctor’s approval. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. We verify your insurance coverage before your appointment and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront. Medicare typically covers these diagnostic tests when they’re ordered to evaluate specific symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers in the Ocean View Heights area and can help you understand your benefits. Our staff handles prior authorizations when required by your insurance plan.
Once we identify what’s causing your symptoms, we develop a targeted treatment plan. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referrals to other specialists depending on your specific condition. We coordinate with your primary care doctor and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care. For some conditions, we can begin treatment immediately. Others may require additional testing or specialist consultation. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. The goal is getting you back to normal function as quickly as possible.
