Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing, when it started, and what makes it better or worse.

The EMG portion measures electrical activity in your muscles using thin needle electrodes. It sounds worse than it is – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Visit

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

You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. More importantly, you’ll understand what those results mean for your daily life and what treatment options are available.

Many Tamiami patients come to us after months of uncertainty about their symptoms. Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and other nerve disorders can finally be properly diagnosed and addressed.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, but it’s typically described as less painful than getting blood drawn. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate results. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete.

How long does EMG and nerve conduction testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need testing. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome might take 30 minutes, while more comprehensive evaluations can take up to an hour. We’ll give you an estimate based on your specific symptoms during scheduling. The time investment is worth it – you’ll leave with definitive answers about what’s causing your symptoms and a clear treatment plan.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These tests can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. We can also identify nerve damage from injuries, determine the severity of existing conditions, and monitor how well treatments are working. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain, these tests can usually pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem.

Do I need to prepare anything before the test?

Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils 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 on blood thinners, let us know during scheduling, though this rarely affects the testing. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The most important thing is to come ready to discuss your symptoms in detail.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff can help you understand your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the answers you need about your health, so we’ll work with you to make testing affordable.

When will I get my test results?

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We don’t make you wait days or weeks wondering what the tests showed. During your appointment, we’ll explain exactly what the results mean, what condition you have, and what your treatment options are. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, we’ll coordinate those for you as well.
