EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

What to Expect During Testing

The EMG nerve test happens in two parts. First, we perform nerve conduction studies using small electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief sensations, but nothing painful.

Next comes the electromyography portion. We insert thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn – quick pinches that are over fast.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Comprehensive EMG Testing Services

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG diagnostic testing evaluates both sensory and motor nerve function. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders like myopathy or myositis.

Each test is customized based on your symptoms. If you’re dealing with hand numbness, we focus on median and ulnar nerves. Back pain with leg symptoms means we’ll evaluate your lumbar nerve roots and leg muscles.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language. We coordinate with your referring physician and provide clear recommendations for treatment based on what we find during your electromyography testing.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

Most patients tolerate EMG testing well. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief electrical pulses – uncomfortable but not painful. The needle EMG involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture or getting blood drawn. Each needle insertion lasts only seconds. The discomfort is temporary and most people are surprised it’s not as bad as they expected. We explain everything as we go and can adjust our approach if you’re particularly sensitive.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The test shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle problems are occurring and how severe they’ve become. This precision helps determine whether you need conservative treatment, injections, or surgical intervention. It’s particularly valuable for confirming suspected diagnoses and ruling out other conditions.

How long do EMG test results take?

You get your EMG results immediately. We review the findings with you right after testing, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. You’ll understand whether you have nerve damage, muscle problems, or if your symptoms are coming from somewhere else entirely. We provide a detailed written report within 24-48 hours and send copies to your referring doctor. This quick turnaround means you can start appropriate treatment without delays.

Should I stop taking medications before EMG testing?

Generally, you can continue your regular medications before EMG testing. However, muscle relaxants and certain anti-inflammatory drugs might affect results if taken in high doses right before testing. Blood thinners don’t prevent testing but let us know about them beforehand. If you’re on medications for nerve pain like gabapentin or pregabalin, continue taking them as prescribed. We’ll review your complete medication list when you arrive and advise if any adjustments are needed for accurate results.

Will insurance cover my EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. We accept most major insurance providers and verify your coverage before scheduling. The test is considered diagnostic, not experimental, so approval rates are typically high. We’ll handle prior authorization if your plan requires it and provide cost estimates upfront. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our billing team can check your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.

How should I prepare for EMG testing?

Preparation is minimal. Shower normally but avoid lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing – they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Eat normally and stay hydrated. If you’re testing arm nerves, wear a short-sleeved shirt. For leg testing, wear shorts or pants that roll up easily. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
