Nerve Testing Specialists Florida

We've Diagnosed Thousands of Cases

We’ve been serving West Little River and surrounding Florida communities for years, specializing in complex nerve and muscle disorders. Our team uses the most advanced diagnostic equipment available to ensure accurate results every time.

We understand that getting to this point hasn’t been easy. You’ve probably seen multiple doctors, tried various treatments, and still don’t have clear answers. That’s exactly why we focus exclusively on comprehensive diagnostic testing that gets to the root of neurological and muscular problems.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 60-90 minutes. We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse.

During the electromyography portion, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we send mild electrical pulses along your nerves to test how well they’re transmitting signals. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to static electricity.

You’ll get your results the same day. We’ll explain exactly what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss the most effective treatment options. We also coordinate with your referring physician to ensure seamless follow-up care.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Everything You Need in One Visit

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your neurological function.

You’ll receive detailed documentation of all findings, including nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any abnormalities detected. This comprehensive report helps your treating physician develop the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.

We also provide clear explanations of your results in terms you can understand, so you know exactly what’s happening with your body and why certain treatments are recommended.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during nerve and muscle testing. The EMG portion involves inserting very thin needles into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn. Nerve conduction studies use small electrical pulses that create a brief tingling sensation, like static electricity. The entire process is well-tolerated by most people, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. We take steps to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure and can adjust the testing if needed.

How long does it take to get results from EMG testing?

You’ll receive your nerve and muscle testing results during the same appointment. We review the findings immediately after completing both the EMG and nerve conduction studies, then explain 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 send detailed reports to your referring physician within 24 hours, so your treatment team has all the information needed to develop your care plan.

What conditions can nerve conduction studies detect?

Nerve conduction studies and EMG testing can diagnose many conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, herniated disc complications, and various forms of nerve compression. These tests are particularly effective at identifying exactly where nerve damage is occurring and how severe it is. We can also determine whether your symptoms stem from nerve problems, muscle issues, or both, which is crucial for developing the right treatment approach.

Do I need to prepare anything before my nerve testing appointment?

Preparation for nerve and muscle testing 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know in advance, though this rarely affects the testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will my insurance cover EMG and nerve conduction testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician. We work with major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. EMG and nerve conduction studies are considered standard diagnostic procedures for evaluating nerve and muscle disorders, so coverage is typically straightforward. We handle prior authorization requirements when needed and can discuss payment options if you have questions about your specific benefits.

What should I expect after completing the nerve testing?

After your nerve and muscle testing, you can resume normal activities immediately. Some patients experience mild soreness at needle insertion sites from the EMG portion, but this typically resolves within a few hours. We’ll provide you with written results and recommendations for follow-up care. Your referring physician will receive a detailed report to guide your treatment plan. Many patients feel relieved to finally have concrete answers about their symptoms and a clear path forward for addressing their condition.
