Professional EMG Diagnostic Testing

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Numbness that interferes with your work. Pain that previous treatments haven’t touched because nobody knew exactly what was causing it.

EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. Instead of guessing at treatment options, you get targeted solutions based on real data.

When you know exactly which nerves or muscles are affected, treatment becomes focused and effective. No more trial-and-error approaches or wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” You get answers that lead to relief.

EMG Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and needle electromyography. First, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how well your nerves send electrical signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses – uncomfortable but brief.

Next, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity directly in your muscles. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws. You’ll contract certain muscles while we record the activity, helping us see exactly how your nerves and muscles are communicating.

The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. Most patients say it’s less uncomfortable than they expected. We explain each step as we go, so you know what’s happening and why.

Comprehensive Muscle Nerve Testing

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give us the full picture. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.

You’ll receive same-day results in most cases. We don’t just hand you a report – we sit down and explain what the findings mean for your specific situation. If we find nerve damage, muscle disorders, or other issues, we discuss your treatment options right away.

The test results integrate directly with your overall treatment plan. If you need physical therapy, medication, or other interventions, we can coordinate that care. You’re not left wondering what to do next.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical shocks or static electricity. The needle portion involves thin needles that cause brief, sharp sensations when inserted. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients say they were more anxious about the test than necessary – it’s typically less uncomfortable than they expected. The entire procedure takes 30-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
EMG testing helps diagnose nerve disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, and peripheral neuropathy. It also identifies muscle disorders including muscular dystrophy, myositis, and muscle weakness from various causes. The test is particularly useful for pinpointing the location and severity of nerve damage, whether from injury, compression, or disease. We can determine if your symptoms stem from nerve problems, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. This precision helps us create targeted treatment plans instead of generic approaches.
We provide preliminary results immediately after your test in most cases. The complete, detailed report is typically ready within 24-48 hours. During your appointment, we’ll explain what we found and what it means for your condition. You won’t leave wondering about your results or what happens next. If the findings indicate a specific condition requiring immediate attention, we discuss treatment options right away. For complex cases requiring additional analysis, we’ll contact you within a few days with complete results and recommendations.
Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these 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 us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Don’t drink caffeine for 2-3 hours before the test, as it can affect muscle activity. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, try to relax – tension can make the test more uncomfortable than necessary.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The test is typically covered when you have symptoms like unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain that hasn’t responded to initial treatments. We’ll handle the insurance authorization process and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage, our staff can check your specific benefits and explain what to expect.
Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel along your nerves using surface electrodes placed on your skin. EMG testing uses thin needles inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity directly in muscle tissue. We typically perform both tests together because they provide complementary information. Nerve conduction studies show us nerve function and speed, while EMG reveals muscle response and health. Together, they help us determine whether your symptoms come from nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. This comprehensive approach gives us the complete picture needed for accurate diagnosis.
