EMG Nerve Test Process Old San Juan

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG test starts with a consultation where our technician explains the process and answers your questions. You’ll lie comfortably while small electrodes are placed on your skin over the muscles being tested.

The first part measures nerve conduction—how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel small electrical pulses, similar to static electricity shocks. The second part uses thin needles inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Most patients find this less uncomfortable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll receive your results shortly after, with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Most patients find EMG testing more tolerable than they anticipated. The nerve conduction portion feels like small static electricity shocks—brief and manageable. The needle portion involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. You might experience mild soreness afterward, but most people return to normal activities immediately. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes, and our technician will explain each step to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
EMG testing can identify a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, radiculopathy, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression issues. The test measures both how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond to nerve stimulation. This combination helps pinpoint whether your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues where nerves and muscles connect. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that cause numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Avoid using lotions, creams, 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 we specifically instruct otherwise. The most important preparation is coming with a list of your symptoms and any questions you want to ask about the results.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by a physician to diagnose your symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our office staff can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, calling ahead allows our billing team to check your benefits and provide accurate cost information before you schedule your test.
You’ll typically receive preliminary results immediately after your test, with our technician explaining the basic findings.

Our medical team will review the results with you, explaining what the findings mean for your condition and discussing next steps for treatment. If the results show something that needs immediate attention, we’ll contact you right away. Otherwise, results are shared during a follow-up appointment or consultation to ensure you understand the implications for your care.
EMG testing provides crucial information that helps determine whether surgical intervention might be necessary, but it’s just one piece of the diagnostic puzzle. The test can show the severity of nerve damage or compression, which helps us decide if conservative treatments might work or if surgery is the best option. For conditions like severe carpal tunnel syndrome or significant nerve compression, EMG results combined with your symptoms and physical examination findings help create a complete picture. Our goal is always to try less invasive treatments first when appropriate, using EMG results to guide the most effective approach for your specific condition.
