Electromyography Testing Process West Grove

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. We need to understand your specific situation before we begin any testing.

The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves are working. Most people describe it as feeling like small static electricity shocks – brief and tolerable.

For the EMG portion, we use a very thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. The needle is much thinner than what’s used for blood draws, and we only test the specific muscles related to your symptoms. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you’ll get your results the same day.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation West Grove

Complete Testing That Covers All the Bases

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back. The testing measures nerve speed, muscle response, and identifies exactly where any damage or dysfunction is occurring.

You’ll receive a detailed report that explains your results in terms you can understand. We don’t just hand you a bunch of medical jargon – we walk through what the findings mean for your daily life and what treatment options make sense based on your specific condition.

Many of our West Grove patients come to us after getting incomplete testing elsewhere. We make sure to test comprehensively so you have all the information you need to make good decisions about your health moving forward.

How painful is EMG and nerve conduction testing?

Most patients find the testing much more tolerable than they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like brief static electricity shocks – quick and manageable. The EMG uses a very thin needle, much smaller than what’s used for blood draws. You might feel some discomfort when the needle goes in, similar to getting an injection, but it’s brief. The electrical sensations during testing are mild. Many patients tell us afterward that they were worried about nothing. The entire process is designed to get accurate results while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The testing can also identify nerve damage from injuries, determine if muscle weakness is due to nerve or muscle problems, and help distinguish between different types of neurological conditions. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain, these tests can often pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem.

How long does the testing take and when do I get results?

The complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. We provide your results the same day, right after the testing is complete. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what the tests showed. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss your next steps before you leave the office. If additional testing or treatment is needed, we’ll coordinate that for you as well.

Do I need to prepare anything special before the test?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important things to know. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing – they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know ahead of time, though you usually don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before testing if possible, as it can affect muscle activity. Most importantly, try to stay relaxed – muscle tension can affect the results.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will check your benefits and let you know about any copays or deductibles that apply. If you have questions about coverage or costs, call us before your appointment so we can review your specific situation. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between getting answers about your health and managing your budget.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel through your nerves by placing electrodes on your skin and measuring nerve speed and strength. EMG testing uses a thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity inside your muscles, both at rest and when you contract them. Think of nerve conduction studies as testing the “wiring” while EMG tests the “motors.” We often do both tests together because they give us different but complementary information about what’s causing your symptoms. Together, they provide a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
