Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your problems started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily activities.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that test how well signals travel through your nerves. Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful—similar to small static shocks.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll receive your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Most patients describe nerve and muscle testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The EMG involves thin electrodes placed in muscles, which feels like small pinches. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses that feel like brief static shocks. While not pleasant, the discomfort is temporary and well-tolerated by most people. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and complications from herniated discs. The testing helps determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle dysfunction, or neurological conditions. We can also evaluate the severity of known conditions and track changes over time. EMG and nerve conduction studies are particularly effective for diagnosing conditions affecting the arms, legs, hands, and feet where numbness, tingling, or weakness occurs.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you during your appointment, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. We provide a detailed written report that goes to your referring physician the same day. This immediate feedback allows you to understand your diagnosis right away and discuss next steps without waiting days or weeks for results. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, we can often coordinate those during your visit as well.
Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal, but there are a few important guidelines. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams 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-thinning medications, let us know in advance, though 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.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team will check your specific benefits and let you know about any copays or deductibles that apply. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll verify your benefits in advance. For patients without insurance or with high deductibles, we offer transparent pricing and payment options to make testing accessible.
After testing, you can resume normal activities immediately—there are no restrictions or recovery time needed. You might have small red marks where electrodes were placed, but these fade within hours. We’ll provide you with a copy of your results and send a detailed report to your referring physician. Based on the findings, your doctor may recommend physical therapy, medications, injections, or other treatments. In some cases, additional testing or specialist consultations may be needed. We coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure you get appropriate follow-up care based on your specific diagnosis and symptoms.
