Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation where we review your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

Next comes the actual testing. For nerve conduction studies, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. For electromyography, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected.

We get results immediately, not weeks later. Before you leave, we’ll explain what the tests show and what it means for your treatment options. You’ll have a clear understanding of your condition and next steps, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, or other treatments.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Our nerve and muscle testing covers the full spectrum of potential conditions. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, and other nerve compression disorders. The testing also evaluates muscle function to identify conditions like myopathy or muscular dystrophy.

Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms. If you’re having hand numbness, we focus on the nerves that control hand function. For leg weakness, we examine the nerves and muscles in your lower extremities. This targeted approach gives us precise information about your condition.

We work with your insurance to ensure coverage, and we coordinate with your referring physician to make sure everyone involved in your care has the information they need. The goal is seamless care that gets you back to normal function as quickly as possible.

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas we’re examining. The actual testing portion usually takes 20-30 minutes, with additional time for consultation and explaining results. We schedule appointments with enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can answer all your questions before you leave. Some patients need testing on multiple areas, which can extend the appointment, but we’ll let you know the expected timeframe when we schedule.
Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. Nerve conduction studies feel like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled and brief. EMG testing involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause mild discomfort similar to acupuncture, but most people tolerate it well. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing is complete. We explain each step as we go, so you know exactly what to expect. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The testing is particularly useful for determining the exact location and severity of nerve damage or compression. We can also identify whether symptoms are caused by nerve problems, muscle problems, or both. This precision helps us recommend the most effective treatment approach, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions.
While many patients come to us with referrals from their primary care physician or specialist, a referral isn’t always required depending on your insurance plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage requirements. If you do need a referral, we can help coordinate with your physician’s office to obtain one. Our staff is experienced in working with insurance companies and can guide you through the process to ensure your testing is covered and you understand any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing is complete. Unlike many diagnostic tests that require waiting days or weeks, nerve and muscle testing provides real-time information that we can interpret right away. We’ll explain what the results mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options are available. You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of your condition and next steps. We also send a detailed report to your referring physician so your entire care team has the information they need.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing staff can explain your benefits, including any copayments or deductibles that may apply. If you have questions about coverage, we recommend calling your insurance company or our office before scheduling. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the diagnosis you need, so we’ll work with you to understand all your options.
