Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Numbness that spreads. Tingling that keeps you awake. Your regular doctor runs basic tests, but nothing shows up clearly.

EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us precise data about what’s actually happening in your body. We can identify nerve damage, muscle disorders, and pinpoint exactly where problems are occurring.

When you know what’s wrong, you can finally get the right treatment. No more guessing. No more trying treatments that don’t work because they’re targeting the wrong problem. Just clear answers that lead to real solutions.

Biscayne Park EMG Specialists

Spine and Nerve Experts

We’ve been diagnosing complex neurological conditions throughout South Florida for years. Our physicians specialize specifically in spine, nerve, and muscle disorders – not general medicine where neurological issues are just one small part of what they see.

We use advanced EMG and nerve conduction testing equipment, and more importantly, we know how to interpret the results. Many facilities can run the test, but understanding what the data means for your specific situation requires specialized expertise.

Our Biscayne Park area patients appreciate our straightforward approach. We explain your results in plain language and connect them directly to treatment options that actually work.

EMG Testing Process

Simple, Thorough, Clear Results

Your EMG test starts with a consultation about your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing, when it happens, and what makes it better or worse. This helps us focus the testing on the right areas.

The electromyography portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin or inserting thin needles into specific muscles. These measure electrical activity while your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. The nerve conduction study sends small electrical pulses through your nerves to test how well signals travel.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results immediately, not days later. We’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options. No medical jargon, no waiting around wondering what’s next.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test muscle function, nerve signal transmission, and identify exactly where problems are occurring along your nervous system.

This comprehensive approach means we can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression issues. We’re not just looking for one specific problem – we’re evaluating your entire neuromuscular system to find all contributing factors.

You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, clear explanations of any abnormal findings, and specific recommendations for treatment. If we find issues that need immediate attention, we can coordinate care with other specialists or begin treatment planning right away. The goal is getting you from diagnosis to effective treatment as quickly as possible.

Does EMG testing hurt and how long does it take?

EMG testing involves some discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – brief and tolerable. The needle EMG portion involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Most complete EMG evaluations take 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need testing. We work efficiently to get accurate results while minimizing your time in our office.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders. Common conditions we identify include carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The test is particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness are caused by nerve problems, muscle disorders, or issues where nerves connect to muscles. We can also pinpoint exactly where along a nerve pathway problems are occurring, which is crucial for effective treatment planning.

How should I prepare for my EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is straightforward. 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let us know in advance, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come prepared to describe your symptoms in detail – when they occur, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily activities.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing neurological symptoms. This includes Medicare and most private insurance plans. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. The key is having clear medical reasons for the test – symptoms like unexplained numbness, muscle weakness, or nerve pain typically qualify for coverage. We handle the insurance paperwork and prior authorizations when needed, so you can focus on getting the answers you need about your condition.

How accurate are EMG test results?

EMG testing is highly accurate for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders when performed by experienced specialists. The test provides objective, measurable data about nerve function and muscle electrical activity – not subjective interpretations. However, accuracy depends heavily on the expertise of who’s performing and interpreting the test. We focus specifically on neurological conditions and have extensive experience reading EMG results. We also correlate test findings with your clinical symptoms to ensure the results make sense for your specific situation. This combination of advanced testing and specialized expertise gives you the most reliable diagnosis possible.

What happens after my EMG test if problems are found?

If your EMG test identifies nerve or muscle problems, we’ll explain exactly what we found and discuss your treatment options immediately. Depending on the condition, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referrals to other specialists. We don’t just hand you test results and send you away – we create a clear plan for addressing whatever issues we discover. For some conditions, early treatment can prevent permanent damage, so we move quickly when needed. You’ll leave with specific next steps and a timeline for follow-up care, whether that’s with our practice or other specialists we work with regularly.
