EMG and NCV Testing Shenandoah

Know Exactly What's Wrong

You’re tired of guessing games with your health. Your symptoms are real – the numbness in your hands, the shooting pain down your leg, the muscle weakness that’s getting worse. You need answers, not another round of “let’s try this and see what happens.”

Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can finally get the right treatment. Not generic solutions that might work. The specific approach your condition needs.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The testing process is straightforward. First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. Then we perform the EMG and nerve conduction studies using small electrodes placed on your skin.

The nerve conduction study measures how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. We stimulate specific nerves with mild electrical pulses and measure the response. For the EMG, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles.

Most people are surprised – it’s not as uncomfortable as they expected. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to test. You’ll get your results right away, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Complete Testing, Clear Results

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing covers the full range of conditions that might be causing your symptoms. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and other nerve disorders that commonly affect people in our community.

You’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation that includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies when needed. We don’t cut corners or skip steps – if testing multiple areas gives us better information about your condition, that’s what we do.

After your testing, you’ll get a detailed report explaining your results in terms you can understand. We’ll discuss what the findings mean, what treatment options are available, and what you can expect moving forward. No medical jargon, no vague explanations – just clear information about your health.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort when inserted, but it’s typically described as less painful than getting blood drawn. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while minimizing discomfort. We explain each step as we go, so you know exactly what to expect.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete testing usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Simple cases like suspected carpal tunnel syndrome might take 30 minutes, while more complex conditions affecting multiple areas could take up to an hour. We schedule enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can test everything thoroughly. You’ll get your results immediately after testing, along with time to discuss what they mean for your treatment.

What conditions can nerve testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The testing helps us determine exactly which nerves or muscles are affected, how severe the problem is, and whether the issue is getting better or worse. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that addresses your specific condition.

Do I need to prepare anything before the test?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know in advance, but 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 with questions – we want you to understand your results completely.

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 accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to X-rays or blood tests. We’ll provide all necessary documentation to your insurance company and work with you if there are any coverage questions. Our goal is to make sure cost doesn’t prevent you from getting the answers you need about your health.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your results, we’ll sit down and explain exactly what they show about your nerve and muscle function. We’ll discuss your diagnosis, what’s causing your symptoms, and what treatment options are available. Depending on your condition, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other approaches. We’ll also coordinate with your other doctors if needed and provide them with detailed results. The goal is to move quickly from diagnosis to effective treatment so you can start feeling better as soon as possible.
