Nerve Function Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves two main types of testing. First, we perform nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves.

Next, electromyography testing uses a thin needle electrode to evaluate muscle activity and detect any abnormalities. While this might sound uncomfortable, most patients find it much more tolerable than expected.

Throughout the process, we explain what we’re doing and what we’re finding. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report sent to you and your referring physician within 24-48 hours. This report includes our findings and specific recommendations for next steps in your care.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing in One Visit

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates everything from carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica to more complex conditions like diabetic neuropathy or radiculopathy. We test both sensory and motor nerve function to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

The testing can identify nerve compression, muscle disorders, and the severity of any damage. This information is crucial for determining whether you need physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgical intervention.

We work directly with your insurance company to handle pre-authorization when required, and we provide transparent pricing upfront. Most major insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary, and we’ll verify your coverage before your appointment.

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing actually is. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled and brief. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which most people describe as feeling like acupuncture needles rather than typical injection needles. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete. We go at your pace and can take breaks if needed.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately during your appointment – we explain what we’re seeing as we perform the tests. The complete written report with detailed findings and recommendations is typically ready within 24-48 hours. We send this report directly to your referring physician and provide you with a copy. If you need results faster for an upcoming appointment, let us know and we can often accommodate same-day reporting.
Our EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The testing can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s affecting sensory nerves, motor nerves, or both. This information is essential for developing an effective treatment plan rather than just treating symptoms.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on the areas being tested on the day of your appointment, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being examined. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most major insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary and ordered by a physician. We verify your insurance coverage before your appointment and handle pre-authorization requirements when needed. We’ll let you know your expected out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, our billing team can check your specific benefits and explain what your plan covers.
Once we have your complete results, we send a detailed report to your referring physician with our findings and specific treatment recommendations. Depending on what we discover, next steps might include physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to a specialist for further treatment. We coordinate directly with your healthcare team to ensure you get appropriate follow-up care. You’re also welcome to schedule a follow-up consultation with us to discuss the results and treatment options in detail.
