Nerve Testing Process NYC

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

During the EMG portion, we use thin needle electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study involves placing surface electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit signals.

Most patients find the testing more comfortable than they expected. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Muscle Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation

Your testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies to give us a complete picture of what’s happening. We evaluate nerve function, muscle response, and the connection between them.

We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. The testing also helps us determine the severity of your condition and track how it’s progressing.

You’ll receive detailed results that clearly explain your diagnosis, what it means for your daily life, and what treatment options are available. We believe you should understand exactly what’s going on with your body – no medical jargon, just straight answers.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing is. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG involves thin needles, but they’re much smaller than typical injection needles. You might feel brief discomfort when the needle is inserted, but it’s generally well-tolerated. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The entire process is designed to get accurate results while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re testing and how many nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome might take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations for multiple symptoms can take up to an hour. We’ll give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment based on your specific symptoms and the areas we need to examine.

Will I get my results the same day?

Yes, you’ll receive your results immediately after testing. Our specialists will review the findings with you right away, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. We’ll discuss your diagnosis, answer your questions, and outline your treatment options. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what’s wrong – you’ll leave with clear answers and a plan for moving forward.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve compression. The testing can also determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. We can identify the specific location and severity of the problem, which is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Do I need to prepare for the testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. Avoid using lotions or oils 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 on blood thinners, let us know in advance. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. The most important thing is to come in with clean skin and comfortable clothing.

Is nerve and muscle testing covered by insurance?

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 team handles the insurance paperwork and will let you know about any out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits before you come in.
