Nerve Testing Process Redland

Straightforward Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. We need to understand your specific situation before we begin testing.

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. It’s not painful, though you’ll feel a brief tingling sensation.

Next is the electromyography test, where we use a thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. This tells us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

The entire process usually takes 45-60 minutes. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle Function Testing

Complete Evaluation of Your Symptoms

Our nerve and muscle testing covers both sensory and motor function to give you a complete picture. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response times, and electrical activity patterns that reveal exactly where problems are occurring.

The testing identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and muscle disorders that other diagnostic methods might miss. We’re looking for the specific location and severity of nerve damage or muscle dysfunction.

You’ll receive a detailed report that explains your results in straightforward terms, plus recommendations for treatment based on what we discovered. We coordinate with your referring physician to ensure you get the right care plan moving forward.

The nerve conduction study feels like brief tingling or mild electrical pulses on your skin. Most patients describe it as surprising rather than painful. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the needle is removed. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate readings of your nerve and muscle function.
A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re testing and the complexity of your symptoms. The nerve conduction study usually takes 20-30 minutes, followed by the EMG portion which takes another 20-30 minutes. We don’t rush through your testing because accuracy is crucial for getting the right diagnosis. You’ll receive your results and explanation during the same appointment, so you won’t have to wait days or weeks to understand what we found.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve damage or compression. The testing reveals exactly where nerve signals are slowing down or being blocked, and whether muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation. This helps differentiate between nerve problems and muscle problems, which often have similar symptoms but require different treatments. The results give us specific information about the location and severity of any dysfunction we discover.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment so you know what to expect for costs. Our staff handles the insurance authorization process and can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket expenses upfront. If you have questions about coverage for specific tests or your particular situation, call our office and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling your appointment.
Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement and signal readings. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though this usually doesn’t prevent testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete, during the same appointment. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what the measurements mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll get a written report to take with you, and we’ll send a copy to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. This immediate feedback means you can start discussing treatment options with your doctor right away, rather than waiting weeks for results like you might with other testing facilities.
