EMG Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results, Real Solutions

Our EMG process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. You’ll discuss exactly what you’ve been experiencing and when it started.

During the electromyography test, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles and nerves. The nerve conduction study portion uses mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients find the testing tolerable and much less uncomfortable than they expected.

Results are available immediately after testing. Your specialist will review the findings with you right away, explaining what the test shows about your nerve and muscle function. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps for treatment.

EMG testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses, while the needle EMG involves thin electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Many patients are surprised that the testing is much more tolerable than they expected. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression syndromes. The test shows exactly where nerve damage is occurring and how severe it is. This information is crucial for determining whether your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle problems, or other neurological conditions that require different treatment approaches.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions 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 us know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The most important preparation is bringing a list of your current symptoms and any previous test results related to your condition.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing nerve or muscle conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. Our billing team can help determine your expected out-of-pocket costs and payment options. EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, so coverage is typically straightforward when ordered by your physician to evaluate specific symptoms like numbness, weakness, or nerve pain.
You’ll receive your EMG results immediately after testing. Our specialist will review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the test shows about your nerve and muscle function. You’ll get a clear explanation of your diagnosis and what it means for your treatment options. A detailed report will also be sent to your referring physician. This immediate consultation eliminates the anxiety of waiting days or weeks to understand your test results and allows you to start planning your treatment right away.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests often performed together for complete evaluation. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes and mild electrical pulses. EMG uses thin needle electrodes to measure electrical activity directly in your muscles. Together, these tests can pinpoint whether problems are in the nerves, muscles, or the connection between them. This comprehensive approach provides the detailed information needed to accurately diagnose your condition and develop an effective treatment plan.
