EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple, Straightforward Testing Process

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re examining. We start with nerve conduction studies, placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves.

Next comes the electromyography portion, where we use a thin needle electrode to record electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us how well your muscles respond to nerve signals and whether there’s any damage or dysfunction.

Throughout the process, we explain what we’re doing and what we’re finding. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

Our EMG diagnostic testing evaluates both nerve and muscle function to give you a complete picture of what’s happening in your body. We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves.

The testing is thorough but efficient. We use state-of-the-art equipment that provides precise measurements while minimizing any discomfort. Most patients find the procedure much easier than they expected.

You’ll leave with detailed results, a clear diagnosis, and specific recommendations for treatment. We coordinate with your referring physician to ensure seamless follow-up care and get you started on the right path to recovery.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The needle electrode part can cause brief discomfort when inserted, but it’s typically less painful than getting blood drawn. The entire process is tolerable for the vast majority of patients, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders like myositis, nerve injuries, and pinched nerves throughout the body. It’s particularly effective at determining whether symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues where nerves connect to muscles. The test helps differentiate between similar conditions that require different treatments.
A typical EMG test takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re examining. Simple tests like carpal tunnel evaluation may take 30 minutes, while comprehensive testing of multiple areas can take up to an hour. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you the same day, explain what they mean, and discuss recommended next steps. There’s no waiting period for results.
Preparation 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. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though most medications don’t need to be stopped. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will check your benefits and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll help determine your benefits.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests often performed together. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG uses needle electrodes to record electrical activity directly from your muscles. Together, they provide a complete picture of nerve and muscle function. Nerve conduction studies detect nerve damage or compression, while EMG reveals muscle problems and how well muscles respond to nerve signals.
