EMG Nerve Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The EMG test has two parts. First is the nerve conduction study, where we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves carry signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.

Next is the electromyography portion, where we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. The needle is very thin – thinner than most injection needles – and we only test the muscles related to your symptoms.

The entire test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many nerves and muscles we need to check. You’ll get your results right away, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Complete Nerve and Muscle Testing

Our EMG testing covers both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give you a complete picture of what’s happening. We test motor nerves that control muscle movement, sensory nerves that handle feeling and sensation, and muscle responses to nerve signals.

This comprehensive approach means we can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression issues. We’re not just running a standard test – we’re investigating your specific symptoms.

You’ll also get a detailed report that other doctors can use if you need additional treatment. Many of our patients use their EMG results to move forward with targeted therapies, injections, or surgical consultations when needed.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled. The needle portion involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels like a quick pinch followed by mild pressure. The discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as each test is complete. Many patients say it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected, and the relief of getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the test.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and nerve compression issues. It’s particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or spinal issues. The test can also measure the severity of these conditions and help track whether they’re getting better or worse over time, which is crucial for treatment planning.
EMG testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many nerves and muscles need to be tested. The duration depends on your specific symptoms and which areas we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results immediately after the test is complete. We’ll review the findings with you right away, explain what they mean in plain language, and discuss how the results relate to your symptoms and treatment options. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what the test showed.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test 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 thinners, let us know beforehand, though you usually don’t need to stop them. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The main thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your symptoms so we can focus the test on the right areas.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle conditions. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage or need help understanding your benefits, we’ll work with you to make sure you can get the testing you need to diagnose your condition.
If your EMG test shows abnormal results, we’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your condition. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referral to specialists for additional treatment.

The key is having an accurate diagnosis so you can pursue the right treatment approach for your specific condition.
