EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. First, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel a mild electrical pulse, but it’s brief and tolerable.

Next, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needle feels like getting a shot, and you’ll be asked to relax and then gently contract the muscle. This shows how well your nerves control your muscles.

The entire test usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

The testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and other conditions affecting your nervous system. You’ll receive detailed results that your referring doctor can use to develop your treatment plan.

Everything happens in our Curtis Park office with advanced EMG equipment and experienced technicians. No need to travel to multiple locations or wait weeks for results.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

Most patients find EMG testing uncomfortable but not unbearable. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical shocks, similar to static electricity but stronger. The needle EMG feels like getting multiple small injections. Each needle insertion lasts only a few seconds, and the discomfort stops immediately when the needle is removed. Many patients say it’s less painful than they expected. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose many nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, sciatica, muscle disorders like myositis, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful for determining the location and severity of nerve damage, whether symptoms are caused by nerve compression or muscle problems, and tracking how conditions progress over time. Your doctor may order EMG testing if you have numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained muscle pain.

How should I prepare for my EMG test?

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 the electrodes. 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 told otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let our office know beforehand. Remove jewelry from the areas being tested, and be prepared to spend about an hour at the appointment.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. This includes Medicare and most private insurance plans. The test is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for evaluating nerve and muscle problems. NY Spine Medicine works with most major insurance providers and we will verify your coverage before your appointment. If you have questions about your specific coverage or copay requirements, our billing team can check your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront.

How long does it take to get EMG results?

You’ll get your EMG results immediately after the test is complete. Our physician will review the findings with you right away, explaining what the results mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll receive a detailed written report that gets sent to your referring doctor, usually within 24-48 hours. This allows your doctor to discuss treatment options with you quickly rather than waiting weeks for results. If you need copies for other specialists or your own records, those can be provided the same day.

Are there any risks or side effects from EMG testing?

EMG testing is very safe with minimal risks. You might have slight soreness or small bruises where the needles were inserted, but this typically resolves within a day or two. There’s a very small risk of bleeding or infection at needle sites, but this is extremely rare when proper sterile technique is used. The electrical stimulation during nerve conduction studies is uncomfortable but harmless. People with pacemakers or other implanted electrical devices need special precautions, so always inform our team about any medical devices you have.
