Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

The process starts with a conversation about your symptoms—when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your life. This helps our specialists know exactly which nerves and muscles to focus on.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. It feels like tiny taps or mild electrical pulses. The electromyography part involves a thin needle electrode that measures electrical activity in your muscles.

Most people are surprised by how manageable the testing is. The whole process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation. You get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What You Get With Complete Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing covers both sensory nerves (the ones that control feeling) and motor nerves (the ones that control movement). This comprehensive approach means nothing gets missed.

The testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and other conditions that cause numbness, weakness, or pain. You’ll know if the problem is in your nerves, your muscles, or both.

The results come with a detailed report that you can take to any other doctor. But more importantly, you get a conversation with one of our specialists who can explain what the findings mean for your specific situation and what realistic treatment options you have.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most people describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small taps or mild static electricity. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The testing isn’t painless, but it’s very manageable for most patients. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is finished. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the procedure.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You get your results the same day as your testing. Our specialists review the findings with you immediately after the procedure is complete, explaining what the results mean in plain language. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that you can share with your other doctors. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the numbers mean—you leave the appointment with clear answers about what’s causing your symptoms.

What conditions can nerve testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in your neck or back, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders like myositis, nerve damage from injuries, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. The testing can also determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve problems, muscle problems, or issues with how they communicate with each other. This precision helps your doctor create a treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause.

Do I need to prepare anything before nerve testing?

You don’t need to fast or stop taking medications before nerve and muscle testing. However, avoid using lotions, oils, or creams 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 testing arm or hand nerves, short sleeves work best. For leg testing, wear shorts or pants that can be easily rolled up. Let us know about any blood-thinning medications you’re taking.

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. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to X-rays or blood tests. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our office staff can check your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs before you schedule your testing.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once you have your results, our specialists will explain exactly what we found and what it means for your condition. If the testing shows treatable nerve or muscle problems, we’ll discuss treatment options that could include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. The results are also sent to your referring doctor so your entire care team stays informed. Some patients need follow-up testing to monitor their progress, while others move directly into treatment based on their initial results.
