Nerve Testing Specialists Miami

We Actually Find What Others Miss

NY Spine Medicine has been helping West Miami patients get accurate diagnoses for years. We use advanced EMG and nerve conduction testing equipment that many general practitioners don’t have access to.

The difference is in the details. While other providers might order basic tests, we conduct comprehensive nerve and muscle evaluations that reveal problems hiding beneath surface symptoms. You’re not just another appointment – you’re someone who deserves to know exactly what’s happening in your body.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

First, you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’re experiencing and when it started. This conversation guides which specific tests will be most helpful.

During EMG testing, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. It sounds intimidating, but most patients find it much less uncomfortable than they expected. Nerve conduction studies use mild electrical pulses to test how well signals travel through your nerves.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the tests revealed. No waiting weeks wondering what’s wrong – you leave with answers and a plan.

Comprehensive Nerve Evaluation Miami

Complete Testing, Nothing Overlooked

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies. This combination provides a complete picture of what’s happening with your nervous system. Many facilities only offer one type of testing, which can miss important details.

The testing covers common problem areas that West Miami patients deal with – carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and other nerve-related conditions. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach. The testing is customized based on your specific symptoms and concerns.

Everything is done in-office with state-of-the-art equipment. The results are interpreted by our specialists who understand the complexities of nerve and muscle disorders. You get detailed reports that clearly explain findings in terms you can understand.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing actually is. EMG testing involves inserting very thin electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. Nerve conduction studies use mild electrical pulses that create a brief tingling sensation. While not completely painless, the discomfort is typically much less than patients expect and lasts only seconds at a time. The entire procedure is designed to gather crucial diagnostic information with minimal discomfort.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You’ll receive your test results the same day as your appointment. The testing itself takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. Immediately after testing, we review the results with you and explain what the findings mean for your condition. This same-day approach eliminates the anxiety of waiting weeks for results and allows you to start planning your treatment right away.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various other nerve-related conditions. The testing reveals whether symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. It can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether the condition is getting worse or improving. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Does insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for nerve-related symptoms, so approval is typically straightforward. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our office staff can check your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront.

Should I prepare anything before nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling. Bring a list of your current medications and be prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once you have your test results, we’ll explain exactly what was found and what it means for your condition. If nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is identified, we’ll discuss treatment options ranging from conservative approaches to more advanced interventions. The results also help determine if your condition requires immediate attention or can be managed with less aggressive treatments. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for getting relief.
