Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

What to Expect During Testing

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 EMG portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure muscle electrical activity. For nerve conduction studies, we use mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients find the testing tolerable and appreciate finally getting concrete answers.

We review your results immediately after testing. You’ll understand what the findings mean, whether additional testing is needed, and what treatment options make the most sense for your specific condition.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies to give you a complete picture. We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries.

Many Old Town Station patients come to us after months of uncertainty. They’ve tried treatments that didn’t work because no one knew exactly what was wrong. Our testing eliminates the guesswork.

We coordinate with your other doctors when needed and help you understand which specialists might be most helpful for your specific condition. The goal is getting you the right treatment as quickly as possible.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45-60 minutes, including time to discuss your symptoms and review results. The actual EMG and nerve conduction testing usually takes 20-30 minutes. We schedule enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can answer all your questions about the findings. You’ll get your results the same day, not weeks later.

Does EMG and nerve conduction testing hurt?

The testing involves some discomfort but is generally well-tolerated. Nerve conduction studies feel like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. EMG testing involves thin electrodes that may cause brief discomfort when inserted. Most patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the test. We explain everything as we go so you know what to expect.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when symptoms warrant diagnostic evaluation. We verify your coverage before your appointment and provide clear information about any out-of-pocket costs. Our billing team works with you to understand your benefits and payment options. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the diagnosis you need.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, herniated disc effects on nerves, and many other neurological conditions. The testing shows us exactly where problems are occurring and how severe they are. This precision helps your doctor recommend the most effective treatment approach rather than trying generic solutions that might not work for your specific condition.

Do I need to prepare anything before my testing appointment?

Avoid using lotions or oils on your arms and legs 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. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally before your appointment and continue taking your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise.

What happens after I get my test results?

We discuss your results immediately after testing and provide you with a clear explanation of what we found. You’ll receive a detailed report that you can share with your other doctors. Based on the findings, we’ll recommend next steps – whether that’s specific treatments, referrals to other specialists, or additional testing if needed. Our goal is making sure you have a clear path forward, not just test results without direction.
