EMG Testing Process

Simple, Straightforward Testing

Your EMG test starts with a consultation where we review your symptoms and medical history. We explain exactly what we’re testing for and what you can expect during the procedure.

The actual test has two parts. First, we perform nerve conduction studies using small electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. Then we do the electromyography portion, using thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles.

Most patients are surprised by how manageable the procedure is. The entire test typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you’ll have your results immediately. We’ll sit down with you right after to explain what we found and discuss your treatment options.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG testing covers both nerve conduction studies and muscle activity analysis. We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, not medical jargon. We identify which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly, how severe the problem is, and whether it’s getting worse or staying stable.

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary. We handle the authorization process and provide upfront cost estimates so you know what to expect. Our goal is removing barriers between you and the answers you need.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The needle portion involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels like getting an injection or acupuncture. The discomfort is brief and manageable for most people. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients tell us the test was much easier than they expected.
A complete EMG test typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel might take 15-20 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations for multiple symptoms can take up to an hour. We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule your appointment based on your specific symptoms and what we need to test.
Yes, you’ll receive your results right after the test. Unlike many diagnostic procedures that require days or weeks for results, EMG testing provides immediate data. We’ll review your results with you before you leave, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. You’ll also receive a written report for your records and to share with other healthcare providers.
EMG testing can diagnose nerve compression conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, nerve root problems from herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes or other causes, muscle disorders like myopathy, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful for determining the exact location and severity of nerve damage, which helps guide treatment decisions.
Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of the test, as they can interfere with the electrodes. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re testing arm nerves, a short-sleeved shirt works well. Let us know about any blood-thinning medications you’re taking.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We handle prior authorization requirements and verify your coverage before your appointment. You’ll receive an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs upfront. EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to X-rays or MRIs, so coverage is typically straightforward. Our billing team can answer specific questions about your plan.
