EMG Nerve Conduction Study Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The EMG test has two parts. First, we do nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin and sending mild electrical pulses to measure how fast your nerves carry signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.

Next comes the electromyography portion where we insert thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients tolerate this part well.

The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to test. You can return to normal activities immediately afterward. We’ll have your results ready before you leave and will send a detailed report to your referring doctor within 24 hours.

Most patients find EMG testing much more tolerable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild electrical tingling similar to a TENS unit. The needle portion involves thin electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture needles. The actual testing is painless once the needles are in place. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize any discomfort, and you can ask us to stop at any time if needed.
A typical EMG test takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Simple tests for carpal tunnel syndrome might take 20 minutes, while comprehensive testing for multiple symptoms could take up to 90 minutes. You’ll get your results immediately after the test when our neurologist reviews the findings with you. We also provide a detailed written report and send results to your referring doctor within 24 hours.
EMG testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, muscle diseases like myasthenia gravis, nerve damage from injuries, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful for evaluating numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and chronic pain that might have a neurological cause. The test helps us determine if your symptoms are coming from nerve problems, muscle disorders, or issues where nerves connect to muscles.
Preparation is minimal but important for accurate results. Don’t use 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know in advance. Bring a list of your current medications and your insurance card.
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, and EMG testing is typically covered when medically necessary and ordered by your physician. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend calling your insurance company to verify your specific benefits. Our billing team can also check your coverage before your appointment and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. We provide transparent pricing and work with patients on payment options when needed.
Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel along your nerves by placing electrodes on your skin and measuring response times. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to record their electrical activity at rest and during contraction. We typically perform both tests together because they provide complementary information. Nerve conduction studies show us nerve function, while EMG reveals muscle function and helps pinpoint exactly where problems are occurring in the nerve-muscle system.
