Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing, when it happens, and how it’s affecting your daily life.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us how well your muscles are responding to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study measures how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. Most patients find it much more comfortable than they expected. 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 Nerve Diagnostic Testing

Complete Evaluation, No Stone Unturned

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates multiple aspects of your nervous system function. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and the connection between your nerves and muscles.

This comprehensive approach is especially important for Sunset, FL residents who may be dealing with conditions common in our climate and lifestyle. We see a lot of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive work, diabetic neuropathy, and nerve compression issues.

We don’t just look at one area. If you’re having symptoms in your hand, we might test from your neck down to your fingers to see exactly where the problem is occurring. This thorough evaluation ensures we don’t miss anything that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the testing is. The EMG involves inserting very thin electrodes into muscles, which feels like a small pinch. The nerve conduction study uses surface electrodes and small electrical pulses that feel like a mild shock or rubber band snap. The entire process is much less uncomfortable than most people expect, and any discomfort is brief. We explain everything as we go and make sure you’re comfortable throughout the testing.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. If we’re just testing one area like your hand for carpal tunnel syndrome, it might be closer to 30 minutes. If we’re doing a comprehensive evaluation of multiple areas, it could take up to an hour. We’ll give you a good estimate when you schedule your appointment based on your specific symptoms and what areas need to be tested.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various types of nerve damage. It’s particularly useful for determining if your symptoms are coming from nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle problems. The testing can also help us figure out exactly where along a nerve pathway the problem is occurring, which is crucial for effective treatment planning.

Will I get my results the same day?

Yes, you’ll get your results immediately after the testing is complete. We review the findings with you right away and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. We’ll show you the actual test results and explain how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your problems and what your treatment options are. We don’t make you wait days or weeks wondering what the results mean.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

There’s very little preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with the electrodes. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, but you usually don’t need to stop them. We’ll give you specific instructions when you schedule your appointment based on what areas we’ll be testing.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your test results, we’ll discuss your treatment options based on what we found. If the testing shows nerve compression, we might recommend specific treatments to relieve that pressure. If it shows nerve damage, we’ll talk about treatments to help the nerves heal and prevent further damage. Sometimes the results help us determine that you need additional imaging or referral to a specialist. The key is that we now have concrete information to guide your treatment instead of just guessing based on symptoms.
