EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Finally Understand What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or muscle weakness that makes simple tasks difficult. The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you the answers you need. Using advanced electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we can identify exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, sciatica, or something else entirely.

Once we know what’s causing your symptoms, we can create a treatment plan that actually works. You’ll finally have a clear path forward instead of wondering if your condition will get worse or if you’ll ever feel normal again.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when you feel numbness, where the pain occurs, and what activities make it worse or better.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how quickly signals travel through your nerves.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. The entire evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you’ll get preliminary results immediately. We’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options before you leave our office.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your comprehensive nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same appointment. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

Our evaluation can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. We also identify the severity of your condition, which is crucial for determining the best treatment approach.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment. If we find that your symptoms are caused by a condition that requires immediate attention, we’ll help you understand your options and next steps right away.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. During the nerve conduction study, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief tingling or mild discomfort, but nothing painful. The EMG involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. Any discomfort is minimal and temporary. We explain each step as we go and make sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process. The valuable information we get from these tests far outweighs the minor temporary discomfort.

How long does the nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. We start with the nerve conduction study, which usually takes 15-30 minutes, followed by the EMG if needed. Some patients require testing of multiple areas, which takes longer, but we never rush through your evaluation. You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing, and we’ll take time to explain what we found and answer your questions before you leave.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and pinched nerves throughout the body. We can also determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues where the nerve connects to the muscle. The testing helps us understand not just what condition you have, but how severe it is and which specific nerves or muscles are affected.

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

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important things to know. 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-thinning medications, 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, try to stay relaxed—muscle tension can affect some test results.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when you’re experiencing symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will explain any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits. We believe getting an accurate diagnosis shouldn’t be delayed because of insurance concerns.

When will I get my test results and treatment recommendations?

You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your testing is complete. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss initial treatment recommendations before you leave our office. Within a few days, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report that includes detailed findings and our complete treatment recommendations. If we discover something that requires urgent attention, we’ll discuss that immediately and help coordinate any necessary follow-up care. We make sure you never leave wondering about your results or next steps.
