EMG Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The EMG test happens in two parts, and the whole thing usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. First comes the nerve conduction study, where small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well your nerves send signals.

Then there’s the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most people handle it just fine.

You’ll get your results right away. We’ll show you exactly what the test found and explain what it means for your specific situation. No waiting weeks to find out what’s going on with your body.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

What Your Test Includes

Your EMG testing appointment covers both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography in one visit. This comprehensive approach means we can evaluate both your nerve function and muscle response patterns.

The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, diabetic neuropathy, and spinal nerve problems. We’re looking for anything that might be disrupting the normal communication between your nerves and muscles.

You’ll receive a detailed report of findings along with clear explanations of what each result means. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary, and our office staff will verify your coverage beforehand.

EMG testing involves some discomfort, but it’s generally well-tolerated by most patients. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – similar to static electricity shocks. The needle EMG part involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels like getting an injection or acupuncture. The discomfort is brief and stops as soon as the test is complete. Most people say it’s less painful than they expected, and the relief of getting answers makes it worthwhile.
EMG testing can identify a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and radiculopathy. The test can also detect nerve damage from injuries, inflammation, or compression. It’s particularly useful for determining the exact location and severity of nerve problems, which helps us create the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.
A complete EMG test typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles need to be evaluated. The good news is that you’ll get your results immediately after the test is finished. We’ll review the findings with you right away, explaining what the test showed and what it means for your condition. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about the results – you’ll leave the appointment with clear answers about what’s causing your symptoms.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal, but there are a few important things to know. Don’t use lotions, oils, 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically told otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let our office know ahead of time. The most important thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to get the answers you need.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. The procedure is considered a standard diagnostic test for neurological conditions. Before your appointment, our office staff will verify your insurance coverage and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. We’ll also handle the prior authorization process if your insurance requires it. Our goal is to make sure you understand the financial aspect upfront, so there are no surprises after your test.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies use surface electrodes to measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel along your nerves. EMG uses needle electrodes inserted into muscles to record their electrical activity both at rest and during contraction. Think of nerve conduction studies as testing the wiring, while EMG tests how well the muscles respond to those electrical signals. Together, they give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
