EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We explain exactly what will happen during the test and answer any questions you have.

During the electromyography portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin or thin needles are inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity and shows how well your muscles and nerves are communicating.

The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how quickly signals travel through your nerves. Most patients find the testing tolerable, and the entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation.

Does EMG testing hurt and how long does it take?

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses, similar to static electricity. The electromyography portion involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which causes brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. Any discomfort stops immediately when the test is finished, and most patients tolerate the procedure well.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The test can also identify conditions like radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle diseases. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain, EMG testing can determine whether these symptoms are caused by nerve problems, muscle disorders, or other underlying conditions.

How should I prepare for my EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test 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’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know in advance. Remove any jewelry from the areas being tested, and inform the technician about any medical devices like pacemakers or insulin pumps.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most major insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle disorders. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our office staff can check your specific benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, so coverage is typically good when ordered by a physician to evaluate symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or nerve pain.

When will I get my EMG test results?

You’ll receive an immediate explanation of your EMG test results right after the procedure is completed. We’ll review the findings with you, explain what they mean for your condition, and discuss treatment recommendations. A detailed written report is typically available within 24-48 hours and can be sent to your referring physician or other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback allows you to understand your diagnosis and start planning your treatment without waiting days or weeks for results.

Are there any risks or side effects from EMG testing?

EMG testing is very safe with minimal risks. Some patients experience slight soreness at needle insertion sites for a day or two after the test, similar to muscle soreness after exercise. There’s a very small risk of minor bleeding or bruising at needle sites, especially if you take blood-thinning medications. Infection is extremely rare with proper sterile technique. The electrical stimulation used in nerve conduction studies is completely safe and doesn’t cause any lasting effects. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after testing with no restrictions or side effects.
