Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, feet, or other areas for weeks or months. Maybe it’s numbness that won’t go away, tingling that keeps you up at night, or muscle weakness that’s affecting your work. Your primary care doctor suspects nerve problems, but you need real answers.

EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, identifying exactly where problems exist and how severe they are. Instead of guessing about treatment options, you’ll have concrete data about your nerve function.

The results help determine whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, or other conditions. More importantly, you’ll understand what treatment options will actually work for your specific situation.

EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation where you’ll describe your symptoms and medical history. We explain exactly what the test will measure and what to expect during the procedure.

During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting blood drawn.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need testing. You’ll receive results immediately, and we’ll explain what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your nerve function and next steps for addressing any problems found.

Comprehensive Electromyography Services

Complete Nerve and Muscle Assessment

Our EMG testing covers both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give you a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders.

We use advanced diagnostic equipment that provides precise measurements of nerve conduction velocity, muscle response times, and electrical activity patterns. This technology allows us to detect even subtle nerve damage that might be missed with less sophisticated testing.

You’ll receive a detailed report that other healthcare providers can use for treatment planning. The results help determine whether physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgical intervention would be most effective for your specific condition.

Most patients tolerate EMG testing well. The nerve conduction study portion involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief static shocks. The electromyography portion uses thin needle electrodes that cause discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. The complete procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You can return to normal activities immediately after testing.
EMG testing and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, ulnar neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The test measures how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, identifying exactly where problems exist and how severe they are. This information is crucial for developing effective treatment plans rather than guessing about what might work.
Most major insurance plans cover EMG testing and nerve conduction studies when ordered by a doctor for diagnostic purposes. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The test is considered medically necessary when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or suspected nerve damage. Our office staff will help determine your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils 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 take blood thinners, inform our office when scheduling as special precautions may be needed for the needle electrode portion of the test.
You’ll receive your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We’ll explain what the findings mean, whether any nerve or muscle problems were detected, and how severe any issues are. You’ll also receive a written report that you can share with other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback allows you to understand your condition and discuss treatment options during the same visit rather than waiting days or weeks for results.
Yes, EMG testing and nerve conduction studies can detect nerve damage in early stages before permanent complications develop. The test measures nerve conduction velocity and muscle electrical activity with precision, identifying subtle changes that indicate developing problems. Early detection is particularly important for conditions like diabetic neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome, where prompt treatment can prevent progression and permanent nerve damage. The sooner nerve problems are identified, the more treatment options are available.
