EMG Nerve Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. This helps us target the testing to your specific concerns.

During the EMG portion, we insert thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. It sounds worse than it feels – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. We test muscles at rest and when you contract them.

For nerve conduction studies, we place surface electrodes on your skin and send small electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. This part is completely painless.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Does EMG testing hurt and how long does it take?

EMG testing involves some discomfort during the needle portion, but most patients tolerate it well. The needle insertions feel similar to getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The nerve conduction portion is painless – you’ll just feel small electrical pulses on your skin. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we need to examine. Any discomfort stops immediately when the test is finished.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, herniated disc nerve compression, and various other nerve and muscle conditions. It’s particularly useful for determining the exact location and severity of nerve damage. The test can also rule out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy. If you’re experiencing unexplained numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle pain, EMG testing can usually identify the underlying cause.

How should I prepare for my EMG test?

Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically instruct you otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will I get my EMG results immediately?

Yes, you’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We’ll review the findings with you right away, explaining what the results mean in clear, understandable terms. We’ll discuss how the results relate to your symptoms and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation. You’ll leave with a written report and clear next steps, whether that’s treatment recommendations or referrals to other specialists if needed.

Is EMG testing covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will help you understand any copays or deductibles that may apply. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits beforehand so there are no surprises.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

EMG measures electrical activity in your muscles using thin needle electrodes, while nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. We typically do both tests together because they provide different but complementary information. EMG shows us how your muscles are functioning, while nerve conduction studies show us how well your nerves are transmitting signals. Together, they give us a complete picture of your nerve and muscle health.
