EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG testing appointment starts with a brief discussion about your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’ve been experiencing and where you’re feeling problems.

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like a quick tap or mild shock – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

Next is the electromyography portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. You’ll feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in, similar to getting blood drawn. We test muscles both at rest and when you contract them.

The entire process takes 30-45 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give you a complete picture of what’s happening. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.

Our diagnostic testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and other nerve conditions. We use the latest equipment to ensure accurate measurements and reliable results.

You’ll receive a detailed report that we’ll also send to your referring physician. We coordinate your care to make sure everyone involved in your treatment understands exactly what we found. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and we’ll verify your benefits before your appointment.

EMG testing involves some discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction study feels like mild electrical shocks or taps on your skin – quick and brief. The needle portion feels like getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as each test is complete. We work efficiently to minimize any discomfort, and you can ask us to pause at any time if you need a break. Most patients say it wasn’t as bad as they expected.
EMG testing can diagnose many nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression syndromes. It’s particularly useful for determining if numbness, tingling, or weakness is coming from nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. The test can also show how severe the condition is and whether it’s getting better or worse over time, which helps guide treatment decisions.
Most EMG testing appointments take 30-45 minutes, though complex cases might take up to an hour. The actual testing time depends on how many nerves and muscles we need to evaluate based on your symptoms. You’ll get your results immediately after the test is complete. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss potential treatment options. You’ll also receive a written report, and we’ll send a copy to your referring physician the same day.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal, but there are a few important things to know. Don’t use lotion or cream on your skin the day of testing, as it can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though you usually don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your appointment. The test is typically covered when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or nerve pain that need diagnostic evaluation. We’ll let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront, so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, our billing team can help explain your benefits.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are often done together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel along your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure their electrical activity. The nerve conduction study shows if your nerves are working properly, while EMG shows if your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. Together, they give us a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function to pinpoint exactly where the problem is.
