Electromyography Diagnostic Testing Liberty Square

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Maybe your primary doctor suspects carpal tunnel, sciatica, or diabetic neuropathy, but you need concrete answers before moving forward with treatment.

EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, pinpointing exactly where the problem lies and how severe it is.

Instead of guessing or trying generic treatments that might not work, you’ll have a clear roadmap. You’ll know if that tingling in your hands is actually carpal tunnel or something else entirely. You’ll understand whether your back pain involves nerve compression or muscle issues. Most importantly, you’ll have the information needed to choose the right treatment approach from the start.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Study Process

What Happens During Your Test

Your EMG appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes and involves two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. You’ll remain awake and alert throughout the entire procedure.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. This feels like a brief, mild shock—uncomfortable for a moment but not painful.

The electromyography portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity when your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

Your doctor reviews results immediately and explains what they found. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps. No waiting weeks for answers or wondering what the results mean.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing Services

Complete Nerve and Muscle Assessment

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction velocity studies and needle electromyography in one comprehensive appointment. The testing evaluates multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to create a complete picture of your condition.

Common conditions we diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Our advanced equipment can detect even subtle nerve damage that might be missed with less sophisticated testing.

You’ll receive same-day results with detailed explanation from your doctor. The report includes specific recommendations for treatment, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgical consultation. Insurance pre-authorization is handled by our office staff, so you can focus on getting the answers you need.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

Most patients find EMG testing much more tolerable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild electrical pulses—briefly uncomfortable but not painful. The needle electrode portion is similar to getting blood drawn, with brief discomfort when the needle is inserted. The entire procedure takes 45-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Many patients say their anxiety beforehand was worse than the actual test.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing at your facility?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and our staff handles pre-authorization to confirm your coverage before your appointment. We work with Medicare, most major insurance carriers, and many employer-sponsored plans. Our billing department will verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront, so there are no surprises. If you have questions about specific coverage, call our office with your insurance information for a benefits check.

How long does it take to get EMG test results?

You’ll receive your EMG results the same day as your test. The doctor reviews findings immediately after the procedure and explains what they discovered, what it means for your condition, and recommended next steps. You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis rather than waiting days or weeks for a follow-up call. A detailed written report is also provided for your records and any other healthcare providers involved in your care.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose in my case?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The test determines the exact location of nerve damage, how severe it is, and whether the problem involves nerves, muscles, or both. This precise information helps your doctor recommend the most effective treatment approach rather than using trial-and-error methods.

Do I need to prepare anything special before my EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or creams on the areas being tested, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the body parts being examined. 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 portion of the test.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests often performed together. Nerve conduction studies use surface electrodes to measure how well electrical signals travel along your nerves, helping identify nerve damage or compression. EMG uses needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity, detecting muscle disorders or nerve problems affecting muscle function. Together, they provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular system, allowing for more accurate diagnosis than either test alone.
