EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with unexplained pain, tingling, or weakness for too long. Maybe previous treatments haven’t worked because nobody knew exactly what was causing your symptoms.

Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic procedures measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond. Instead of guessing, you get precise data about where the problem is and how severe it might be.

When you know exactly what’s happening in your body, treatment becomes targeted. No more trial-and-error approaches or treatments that only mask symptoms. You get a clear path forward based on real information about your condition.

Every test is performed by our board-certified specialists who take time to explain what we’re looking for and what the results mean. You’re not just another appointment – you’re someone who deserves clear answers about what’s happening in your body.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us determine which specific tests will give the most useful information.

During nerve conduction studies, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly and completely nerve signals travel. For muscle testing (EMG), we use a thin needle electrode to record electrical activity in specific muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting blood drawn.

Testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. Results are available immediately, and you’ll get a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options. A detailed report goes to your referring doctor so everyone stays on the same page about your care.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Comprehensive Testing You Can Trust

Every nerve and muscle evaluation we perform includes both electrical testing and clinical assessment. You’re not getting a quick screening – you’re getting thorough evaluation designed to catch problems other tests might miss.

Our testing covers nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity at rest and during movement. This combination provides a complete picture of how your nervous system is functioning.

Town Park patients appreciate that our results come with practical next steps. Whether that means specific treatment recommendations, referrals to appropriate specialists, or reassurance that serious conditions have been ruled out, you leave with actionable information about your health.

Most patients tolerate nerve and muscle testing well. Nerve conduction studies feel like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks but controlled and brief. EMG testing involves thin needle electrodes that feel like getting an injection or blood draw. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the procedure.
Results are available immediately after testing is complete. We review findings with you right away, explaining what the electrical measurements show about your nerve and muscle function. You’ll understand what’s normal, what’s abnormal, and what it means for your specific symptoms. A detailed written report is prepared for your referring doctor, typically within 24-48 hours, so your treatment team has complete information for planning next steps.
These tests can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from injury or disease, and problems with nerve-muscle communication. Testing also helps determine the severity and location of nerve compression or damage. Sometimes testing rules out serious conditions, which provides valuable peace of mind. The results help distinguish between different types of nerve problems that might cause similar symptoms but require different treatments.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary for diagnosing unexplained symptoms. Coverage typically requires a referral from your primary care doctor or specialist. We work with major insurance providers and will verify your benefits before scheduling. If you have questions about coverage or costs, our billing team can provide specific information based on your insurance plan and help you understand any out-of-pocket expenses before your appointment.
Preparation is minimal but important for accurate results. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically instruct otherwise. The entire process is designed to be as convenient as possible while ensuring accurate diagnostic results.
Abnormal results aren’t necessarily cause for panic – they’re valuable information that guides effective treatment. We’ll explain exactly what the findings mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options are available. Sometimes results show easily treatable conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Other times they help rule out serious problems you might have been worried about. You’ll get clear recommendations for next steps, whether that’s specific treatments, lifestyle changes, or referrals to other specialists who can help address your particular condition.
