Finally Know What's Wrong

You’re tired of living with unexplained symptoms. The numbness in your hands keeps you awake. The muscle weakness makes simple tasks frustrating. You’ve been told it might be this or could be that, but nobody’s given you a definitive answer.

EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, pinpointing exactly where the problem lies. Instead of guessing about carpal tunnel, sciatica, or diabetic neuropathy, you get concrete data about nerve function and muscle response.

When you know what’s actually happening in your body, treatment becomes targeted and effective. No more trial-and-error approaches or wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” You get a clear diagnosis that leads to a clear treatment plan.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. You’ll discuss when the numbness or weakness began, what makes it better or worse, and any previous treatments you’ve tried.

During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part tests nerve function and identifies areas where signals are blocked or slowed. The electromyography portion involves a thin needle electrode that measures muscle electrical activity, showing whether muscle weakness stems from nerve damage or muscle disorders.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a comprehensive report typically available the same day. The findings directly guide your treatment options, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies for a complete picture of nerve and muscle function. Our testing evaluates common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders that cause weakness or pain.

Our diagnostic process identifies specific nerve pathways affected by your condition. Whether you’re dealing with compression neuropathy from repetitive motions, diabetic nerve damage, or spine-related nerve impingement, our testing pinpoints the exact location and severity of the problem.

Results include detailed measurements of nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and specific recommendations for treatment. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps, not more questions. Our comprehensive evaluation eliminates the need for multiple appointments or repeat testing at different facilities.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses similar to static electricity shocks. The electromyography portion involves thin needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture needles. The actual testing is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients are surprised that it’s less uncomfortable than they anticipated. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
EMG testing diagnoses a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle diseases. It’s particularly effective for identifying compression neuropathies, nerve root problems from herniated discs, and distinguishing between nerve damage and muscle disorders. The test can also evaluate conditions like myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, and inflammatory muscle diseases. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain, EMG testing can determine whether the problem originates in your nerves, muscles, or both.
You’ll receive preliminary results immediately after your EMG testing, as we can see the nerve and muscle responses in real-time during the procedure. A comprehensive written report with detailed findings and treatment recommendations is typically available the same day or within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering about your diagnosis. The immediate feedback also allows for same-day discussion of treatment options and next steps. If your referring physician needs the results urgently, they can be transmitted electronically within hours of testing completion.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal, but there are a few important guidelines. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, inform our office beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Eat normally before your appointment and continue taking your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The most important preparation is bringing a list of your current symptoms and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle problems.
Most major insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing nerve or muscle disorders. The test is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain. Coverage typically requires a referral from your primary care physician or specialist, though some plans allow direct scheduling. We accept most major insurance plans and can verify your coverage before scheduling. If you have questions about your specific benefits or copay requirements, our office staff can contact your insurance company to clarify coverage details before your appointment.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests often performed together for complete evaluation. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes placed on your skin. This test identifies nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction. EMG specifically evaluates muscle electrical activity using thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles. It determines whether muscle weakness stems from nerve problems or primary muscle disorders. Together, these tests provide a comprehensive picture of your neuromuscular system. Most patients receive both tests during the same appointment, giving us complete information about nerve function and muscle health for accurate diagnosis.
