EMG Nerve Test Procedure

Here's Exactly What Happens

Your EMG test starts with a consultation where we review your symptoms and medical history. Then we move to the actual testing, which has two parts.

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. This shows us if your nerves are damaged and where.

Next is the electromyography portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This tells us if the problem is in the muscle itself or the nerves that control it. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you’ll get your results immediately.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Assessment

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and any areas of damage or dysfunction. More importantly, you’ll get a clear explanation of what these findings mean for your specific situation.

We also provide immediate consultation about your results and discuss treatment options based on what we find. This isn’t just testing for the sake of testing – it’s diagnostic work that leads directly to solutions.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small static shocks – uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG portion involves thin needle insertions that feel similar to acupuncture needles. You might feel brief discomfort when the needle goes in, but it’s typically much less painful than people expect. The discomfort stops as soon as the needle is removed. Many patients are surprised that the test is more tolerable than they anticipated, especially when they consider how much information it provides about their condition.

How long does an EMG test take and when do I get results?

The complete EMG and nerve conduction study typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. You’ll get your results immediately after the test is complete. Our physician will review the findings with you right away, explain what they mean, and discuss next steps. There’s no waiting days or weeks to find out what’s wrong. You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and what treatment options are available to address your specific condition.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle diseases, and nerve injuries. It’s particularly useful for determining whether your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues where the nerve connects to the muscle. The test can also show us the severity of the condition and help us track whether it’s getting better or worse over time, which is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

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

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important things to know. Don’t use lotions or creams on your skin the day of the test, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Most importantly, try to stay relaxed – muscle tension can affect the results, so the more comfortable you are, the more accurate your test will be.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can check your specific benefits and let you know what your out-of-pocket costs will be upfront. If you have a high deductible or limited coverage, we can discuss payment options. The key is that EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, so insurance companies typically approve it when your doctor determines it’s needed to diagnose your condition.

What happens after my EMG test if something abnormal is found?

If your EMG shows abnormal results, we’ll immediately discuss what this means for your specific situation and outline your treatment options. Depending on what we find, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. The good news is that most conditions detected by EMG testing are treatable, especially when caught early. We’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. In some cases, we might recommend follow-up EMG testing in a few months to track your progress and see how well your treatment is working.
