Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Tingling that comes and goes. Weakness that’s getting worse. Pain that radiates in ways that seem random. The uncertainty might be worse than the symptoms themselves. You need answers, not more guessing games. Our nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. We can tell you if it’s nerve damage, muscle problems, or something else entirely. Most importantly, we can tell you what to do about it.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The testing process is straightforward. During an EMG test, we place small electrodes on your skin or insert thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. For nerve conduction studies, we use surface electrodes to send mild electrical pulses along your nerves. You’ll feel some mild discomfort during the testing, but most patients tolerate it well. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. We’ll explain what we’re finding as we go, and you’ll have results the same day. No waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong. We’ll discuss exactly what the results mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle testing covers the full range of neurological conditions. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders like myopathy or myasthenia gravis. We use the latest diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate results. Our testing can differentiate between nerve root compression, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle diseases – distinctions that are crucial for proper treatment. Many of our Three Lakes patients come to us after other providers couldn’t give them clear answers. Our comprehensive approach to nerve and muscle evaluation often reveals problems that were missed elsewhere.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate. EMG testing with needle electrodes feels like getting an injection, and nerve conduction studies feel like mild electrical shocks – similar to static electricity but controlled. The sensations are brief and manageable. We explain everything before we do it, and you can ask us to stop at any time. Many patients are surprised that it’s not as uncomfortable as they expected. The information we get is worth the temporary discomfort.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You’ll get your results immediately. We interpret the findings during your appointment and explain what they mean for your condition. There’s no waiting period for lab results or outside interpretation. By the time you leave our office, you’ll understand what’s causing your symptoms and what your treatment options are. We’ll also provide you with a written report for your records and to share with other healthcare providers if needed.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, myopathy, myasthenia gravis, and many other nerve and muscle disorders. We can also determine if your symptoms are coming from nerve root compression in your spine, peripheral nerve damage, or primary muscle disease. This distinction is crucial because each condition requires a different treatment approach. The testing helps us rule out serious conditions and identify exactly where the problem is located.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle 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 on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The most important thing is to come in with any questions you have about your symptoms – the more information you can provide, the more targeted we can make the testing.

Will insurance cover my nerve and muscle testing?

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 staff handles the insurance paperwork and pre-authorization requirements. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits. We want to make sure you understand any out-of-pocket costs before your testing.

What happens after my nerve and muscle testing?

Once we have your results, we’ll discuss your treatment options. Depending on what we find, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referral to other specialists. We coordinate your care to make sure you’re getting the right treatment for your specific condition. Some patients need additional imaging studies or blood work to complete their diagnosis. We’ll provide you with a clear treatment plan and help you understand what to expect moving forward. Our goal is to get you the most effective treatment as quickly as possible.
