EMG and Nerve Conduction Study

Simple Process, Precise Results

The testing starts with nerve conduction studies. Small electrical pulses measure how quickly signals travel through your nerves. This shows whether nerve damage is slowing down communication between your brain and muscles.

Next comes the EMG portion. Thin needle electrodes are inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This reveals whether muscle weakness comes from nerve problems or muscle disorders themselves.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. You’ll get results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your specific situation. Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Services

Complete Neuromuscular Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one comprehensive appointment. This combination provides the most complete picture of what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and other neuromuscular problems. Many Pinecrest patients come to us after months of uncertainty about symptoms that interfere with work or daily activities.

You’ll receive detailed results that your doctor can use to create an effective treatment plan. Whether that means physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions, the EMG results ensure you’re getting treatment that actually addresses your specific condition.

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 EMG needles cause brief discomfort when inserted, like getting a vaccination, but the sensation typically fades quickly. Many patients are surprised that the testing is much more tolerable than they anticipated. The entire procedure is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still providing accurate diagnostic information.
EMG testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. The nerve conduction study comes first, followed by the electromyography portion. You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing, with a complete written report available within a few days. We will explain what the findings mean and discuss next steps before you leave the appointment, so you won’t have to wait anxiously for answers.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, herniated disc complications, muscle diseases, and peripheral neuropathy. The test is particularly valuable for determining whether symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. This precision helps doctors recommend the most effective treatment approach.
Preparation for EMG testing 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after testing.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle disorders. The test is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for evaluating symptoms like unexplained numbness, tingling, weakness, or nerve pain. Prior authorization may be required depending on your specific insurance plan. Our office staff can verify your coverage and handle insurance paperwork to minimize any out-of-pocket costs. It’s worth checking with your insurance provider about any copays or deductibles that might apply.
Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes placed on your skin. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity within the muscle fibers themselves. Together, these tests provide a complete picture of nerve and muscle function. Nerve conduction studies show if nerves are damaged or compressed, while EMG reveals whether muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. Most comprehensive evaluations include both tests to ensure accurate diagnosis.
