Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

The EMG test happens in two parts, and we’ll walk you through each step. First, we perform the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. It feels like a quick tap or mild shock.

Next comes the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. You’ll contract and relax the muscle while we record the signals. Most people find this less uncomfortable than they expected.

The entire test typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we’re examining. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what happens next.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

Most patients find EMG testing less uncomfortable than they anticipated. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild electrical taps or small shocks – brief and tolerable. The needle electrode part involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. You might experience some muscle soreness afterward, but it typically resolves within a day or two. We explain each step as we go and work at your pace to keep you as comfortable as possible.

How long does EMG testing take and when will I get results?

EMG testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the areas we need to examine. You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a consultation where we explain what the findings mean for your condition. We also coordinate with your referring physician to ensure they receive the results promptly for your follow-up care.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders like myositis or muscular dystrophy. The test helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, pinpoints the exact location of nerve damage, and determines the severity of your condition. This information is crucial for your doctor to develop an effective treatment plan.

Do I need to prepare for my EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is minimal, but there are a few important guidelines. 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 instructed otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most major insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most insurance plans and handle the billing process directly with your insurance company. Before your appointment, we’ll verify your coverage and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our billing team can help clarify what your plan includes for diagnostic testing.

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

EMG and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG measures the electrical activity within your muscles using thin needle electrodes. The nerve conduction study shows if your nerves are transmitting signals properly, while EMG reveals if your muscles are responding normally to those signals. Together, they provide a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
