Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about 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: electromyography (EMG) to evaluate muscle function and nerve conduction studies to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and you may feel mild electrical pulses – most patients find it much less uncomfortable than they expected.

We provide your results the same day, not weeks later. You’ll understand exactly what the tests revealed, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation. No medical jargon, no confusion – just clear answers you can act on.

Comprehensive Neuromuscular Diagnostic Testing

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies using state-of-the-art equipment. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

You’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation that looks at nerve transmission speed, muscle response patterns, and the overall function of your neuromuscular system. This isn’t a quick screening – it’s a thorough diagnostic workup designed to catch problems other tests might miss.

Most patients are surprised by how much they learn about their condition in a single visit. We work with your referring physician to ensure your results are integrated into your overall treatment plan, so nothing falls through the cracks.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45-60 minutes from start to finish. The actual testing portion typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. We also spend time before the test discussing your symptoms and afterward explaining your results. You’ll have same-day results, so you won’t leave wondering what the tests showed. We believe in being thorough but efficient – you have other things to do with your day.

Does EMG and nerve conduction testing hurt?

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. Nerve conduction studies involve small electrical pulses that feel like brief, mild shocks – similar to static electricity. EMG testing uses very thin needles to measure muscle activity, which causes minimal discomfort. The entire process is well-tolerated by patients of all ages. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete. We explain everything as we go, so you know exactly what to expect.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose a wide range of neuromuscular conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), sciatica, muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. We can also identify conditions like diabetic neuropathy, ulnar nerve entrapment, and various forms of nerve compression. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for proper treatment. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain, these tests can often provide the answers you need.

Do I need a referral for nerve and muscle testing?

While many patients come to us with referrals from their primary care doctors or specialists, a referral isn’t always required. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about their specific requirements, as coverage policies vary. If you’re experiencing persistent nerve or muscle symptoms that haven’t been properly diagnosed, we can often help regardless of how you found us. Our team can verify your insurance benefits and explain any requirements before your appointment.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing?

Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when you’re experiencing symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or nerve pain. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your appointment. Our billing team is experienced with neuromuscular testing coverage and can explain your expected costs upfront. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the answers you need about your symptoms, so we work with patients to understand their options.

How should I prepare for my nerve and muscle testing appointment?

Preparation is simple: avoid using lotions or creams 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, 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 importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail – when they started, what triggers them, and how they affect your daily activities.
