EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. You need answers, not more guessing.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Using advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, neuropathy, and muscle disorders that other tests might miss.

The testing is straightforward and tolerable. Small electrodes measure how well your nerves conduct signals and how your muscles respond. Most patients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. You’ll get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us target the testing to your specific concerns.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin over the nerves we’re testing. We send mild electrical pulses to measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll receive your results immediately, along with a detailed explanation of what we found and recommendations for next steps.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What Your Testing Includes

Your comprehensive evaluation includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

The nerve conduction study measures how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves and identifies areas of damage or compression. The EMG evaluates muscle function and can detect conditions affecting the connection between your nerves and muscles.

We commonly diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Many patients in South Allapattah come to us after months of uncertainty about their symptoms. Our testing provides the clarity needed to move forward with effective treatment.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses or static shocks. The EMG involves inserting thin needle electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn. The discomfort is brief and manageable. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression syndromes. We can also identify the location and severity of nerve damage, which is crucial for treatment planning. The testing is particularly effective for symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and shooting pains that may indicate nerve involvement. If you’re experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms, this testing can provide definitive answers.

How long does the testing take and when do I get results?

The complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing, along with a detailed explanation of what we found. We don’t make you wait days or weeks for answers. Our specialists will discuss the findings with you right away and explain what the results mean for your condition and treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis.

Do I need to prepare anything special before testing?

Preparation is minimal. 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 taking blood thinners, let us know, but you typically don’t need to stop them. Remove jewelry from the areas being tested. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail, including when they started and what makes them better or worse.

Does insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff can help you understand your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the diagnosis you need, so we work with patients to make testing accessible and affordable.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on your specific diagnosis. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referrals to specialists if needed. We provide detailed reports to your referring physician and can coordinate your care with other providers. Many conditions we diagnose respond well to treatment, especially when caught early. We’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your symptoms and helps you get back to normal activities.
