Nerve Function Test Process Florida

Here's What Happens During Your Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45 minutes to an hour. We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what activities make them better or worse.

For the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical impulses to measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. It feels like a brief, mild shock – uncomfortable but not painful.

The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. We test muscles both at rest and when you contract them. Most people describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We’ll explain exactly what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss your treatment options. No waiting weeks for answers or wondering what comes next.

Muscle Function Test West Grapeland Heights

Comprehensive Testing That Covers All Bases

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates both sensory and motor nerve function. We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.

The testing is particularly valuable for West Grapeland Heights residents who work in repetitive motion jobs or have diabetes, as these increase your risk for nerve problems. We also frequently test patients who’ve had injuries or are experiencing age-related changes in nerve function.

Each test is customized based on your specific symptoms and suspected conditions. If you’re having hand numbness, we focus on median and ulnar nerve testing. For leg symptoms, we evaluate the nerves that control sensation and movement in your lower extremities.

We work with your insurance to ensure coverage and provide detailed reports to your referring physician or specialist. This coordination ensures your treatment plan moves forward smoothly once we have your diagnosis.

Most patients describe nerve conduction studies as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. The electrical impulses feel like brief, small shocks. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which most people compare to getting blood drawn or acupuncture. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing is complete. We explain each step as we go and can adjust the intensity if needed. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while minimizing discomfort.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. We can also identify nerve damage from injuries, determine the severity of nerve compression, and locate exactly where problems are occurring along nerve pathways. The testing distinguishes between nerve problems and muscle problems, which require different treatments. This precision helps your doctor develop the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.
Complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 45 minutes to one hour, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. We also provide detailed reports to your referring physician the same day, so your treatment can begin without delay.
Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If we’re testing your arms, wear a short-sleeved shirt or something with sleeves that roll up easily. Continue taking your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. You can eat normally before your appointment and drive yourself to and from the testing.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We verify your coverage before your appointment and handle the insurance paperwork for you. The testing is considered a diagnostic procedure, similar to an X-ray or MRI, and is typically covered when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. We’ll let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with testing.
You can resume all normal activities immediately after testing. Some patients experience mild soreness at needle insertion sites for a few hours, similar to after getting an injection.

Based on the results, your doctor can then recommend specific treatments, medications, or procedures. Many patients feel relieved to finally have concrete answers about their symptoms and a clear path forward for treatment.
