EMG Test Procedure Florida

Here's What to Expect

The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast your nerves carry signals. Most people describe this as feeling like a rubber band snap.

For the electromyography portion, we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle is very fine—thinner than those used for blood draws. You might feel some discomfort, but it’s brief and manageable.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You can return to normal activities immediately afterward. We’ll review your results with you before you leave so you understand exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Most patients tolerate EMG testing well. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses or rubber band snaps on your skin. The electromyography portion involves thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which can cause brief discomfort similar to getting an injection. The discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as the needle is removed. Many patients say it’s less uncomfortable than they expected, and the entire test is over within an hour.
EMG testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders like myositis, nerve damage from diabetes, herniated disc effects on nerves, and other neuromuscular conditions. The test measures how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, which helps identify exactly where problems are occurring in your nervous system. This precise information allows your doctor to recommend the most effective treatment approach.
EMG testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles need evaluation. The nerve conduction study portion usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, while the electromyography portion takes another 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll receive your results the same day, so you won’t have to wait weeks wondering about your diagnosis. Plan to be at our office for about 90 minutes total to allow time for preparation and results discussion.
Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though you usually don’t need to stop them. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. Bring a list of your current medications and your insurance card.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We handle insurance verification before your appointment and will let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs.
