EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Actually Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that comes and goes. Weakness in your legs that your doctor can’t explain. Tingling that keeps you up at night.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you objective answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No guessing. No “let’s try this and see what happens.”

When you know what’s actually causing your symptoms, you can stop wasting time on treatments that don’t work. You get a clear path forward—whether that’s targeted therapy, specific exercises, or knowing that surgery isn’t necessary after all.

Nerve Testing Specialists Palm Springs North

We've Been Solving These Puzzles for Years

NY Spine Medicine has been helping Palm Springs North residents get to the bottom of their nerve and muscle problems for years. We’re not trying to rush you through a quick appointment or guess at what might be wrong.

Our specialists understand that unexplained symptoms are frustrating. You need someone who takes the time to do comprehensive testing and explain what the results actually mean for your daily life.

We use the same advanced diagnostic equipment you’d find at major medical centers, but you get the attention and care of a practice that knows this community.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Here's Exactly What to Expect

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or light static—not painful, just noticeable.

Next is the EMG, where we use a thin needle electrode to check your muscle activity. The needle is about as thin as acupuncture needles. We listen to the electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and when you contract them.

The whole process takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a complete evaluation of the areas causing you problems. We test multiple nerve pathways to get the full picture—not just the obvious spots.

You’ll also get a detailed consultation where we review your results in plain English. No medical jargon that leaves you more confused than when you came in. We explain what’s normal, what’s not, and what it means for your specific situation.

Most importantly, you leave with a clear plan. Whether your results show nerve compression, muscle weakness, or confirm that your nerves are actually functioning normally, you’ll know exactly what your options are moving forward.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small taps or mild static electricity—uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Most people describe it as brief pinching sensations. The discomfort is temporary and manageable. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The information we get from these tests is worth the minor discomfort, especially when you’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms for months or years.

How long do the test results take?

You get your results immediately. We review the findings with you right after the testing is complete, usually within the same appointment. There’s no waiting days or weeks to find out what’s wrong. We’ll explain what the electrical patterns show about your nerve and muscle function, what’s normal versus abnormal, and what these findings mean for your symptoms. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand and what your next steps should be.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These tests help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. They can also rule out serious conditions when your symptoms don’t match the test results. Sometimes the most valuable information is knowing that your nerves are functioning normally, which means we need to look elsewhere for answers. The tests are particularly helpful for numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that follows nerve pathways.

Do I need to prepare anything before the test?

Avoid using lotions or creams on your skin the day of testing—they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. Don’t stop taking your regular medications unless we specifically instruct you to. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. You can eat normally and don’t need someone to drive you home afterward. The testing doesn’t require sedation or cause any lasting effects that would impair your ability to drive.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We’ll verify your coverage before scheduling and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. These tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures, not experimental treatments. We work with most major insurance providers in the Palm Springs North area. Our staff handles the prior authorization process if your plan requires it, so you don’t have to deal with insurance paperwork.

What if the tests show nerve damage?

Finding nerve damage isn’t the end of the road—it’s the beginning of targeted treatment. Depending on the type and severity, options range from physical therapy and medications to injections or minor procedures. Many nerve problems improve significantly with the right treatment approach. Even permanent nerve changes can often be managed effectively to reduce symptoms and prevent worsening. The key is knowing exactly what you’re dealing with so we can create a treatment plan that actually addresses your specific problem rather than guessing.
