Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process is straightforward. First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what’s been happening with your condition.

For the EMG portion, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure muscle activity. The nerve conduction study involves gentle electrical pulses to test how fast signals travel through your nerves. Most patients describe it as a mild tingling sensation.

The entire evaluation takes about 45 minutes to an hour. We’ll explain what we’re seeing in real-time, so you’re not left wondering what’s happening. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function, plus our recommendations for next steps.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by our experienced technicians and interpreted by board-certified specialists. We test multiple nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive detailed results that day, not weeks later. We explain everything in plain language and provide written reports for your records and other healthcare providers.

Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. Our team handles the prior authorization process so you can focus on getting the answers you need about your condition.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients tolerate the testing very well. The EMG involves tiny needle electrodes that feel like small pinpricks – similar to acupuncture. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses that create a brief tingling or tapping sensation. The discomfort is minimal and temporary. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the entire process is. We explain each step before we do it, so you know exactly what to expect. If you have concerns about discomfort, we can discuss options to make you more comfortable during the test.

How long does it take to get results from EMG testing?

You’ll get your results the same day as your test. We review the findings immediately after your nerve and muscle evaluation is complete. We’ll sit down with you to explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss treatment options. You’ll also receive a written report that day. This is different from many facilities that make you wait days or weeks for results. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait when you’re dealing with concerning symptoms that are affecting your daily life.

What conditions can nerve conduction studies diagnose?

Nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, ulnar neuropathy, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The testing can also identify muscle disorders like myopathy or muscular dystrophy. We can determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. The tests are particularly helpful for pinpointing exactly where nerve damage is occurring and how severe it is. This precision helps us recommend the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition.

Do I need to prepare anything special before my nerve testing appointment?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your arms and legs the day of testing – they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to your arms and legs. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let us know in advance. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle symptoms. The most important thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your symptoms in detail.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle diagnostic testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and handle the prior authorization process for you. Our billing team will verify your coverage before your appointment and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting an accurate diagnosis, so we work with patients on payment options when needed. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call our office and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling your appointment.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction study testing?

EMG (electromyography) tests muscle function by measuring electrical activity in your muscles using small needle electrodes. It shows us if your muscles are working properly and can detect muscle diseases or nerve damage affecting the muscles. Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes and mild electrical pulses. This shows us nerve speed and strength. We typically perform both tests together because they give us complementary information. The combination helps us determine if your symptoms are coming from nerve problems, muscle problems, or both, and pinpoint exactly where the issue is located.
