Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

First, we discuss your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when problems started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we apply small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable, not painful.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report following within 24-48 hours. We’ll explain exactly what the results mean and discuss next steps based on what we find.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Comprehensive Testing That Actually Helps

Our diagnostic testing goes beyond basic screenings. We evaluate nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity that other tests can’t detect.

You’ll receive detailed documentation that clearly explains your results. No medical jargon that leaves you confused. We break down what normal function looks like versus what we found in your case.

This isn’t just about identifying problems. We’re looking for specific information that guides treatment decisions. Whether you need physical therapy, medication management, or surgical consultation, the testing results give your healthcare team a roadmap for helping you feel better.

Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. During EMG testing, you’ll feel small needle electrodes being inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture. For nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel brief electrical pulses that might cause muscles to twitch momentarily. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still gathering accurate diagnostic information. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing is complete.
You’ll get preliminary results right after testing is complete. We can tell you immediately if we found significant abnormalities or if results appear normal. The detailed written report with our neurologist’s interpretation typically takes 24-48 hours. This report includes specific measurements, comparisons to normal ranges, and recommendations for next steps. We’ll contact you to discuss results and answer any questions about what the findings mean for your treatment options.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, and spinal nerve compression. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which often have similar symptoms but require different treatments. We can also detect the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s getting worse over time. This information is crucial for determining if conservative treatment might work or if you need more aggressive intervention.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know in advance, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before testing, as it can affect muscle activity. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing unexplained symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to X-rays or blood work. We’ll provide you with cost estimates upfront and work with your insurance company to maximize your benefits. If you have questions about coverage, our billing team can help you understand your specific plan’s requirements.
Once we have your results, we’ll schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss findings and treatment options. If we identify a specific condition, we’ll explain what it means and how it’s typically treated. We can coordinate care with your primary doctor, refer you to appropriate specialists, or provide treatment recommendations. Some conditions require immediate attention, while others can be managed with conservative approaches. The key is having accurate diagnostic information that guides effective treatment rather than guessing about what might help your symptoms.
