EMG Testing Process Parkwest

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We explain exactly what tests you need and why.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to check muscle activity. Most patients find the testing more tolerable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and recommendations for next steps.

Most patients tolerate nerve and muscle testing well. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – uncomfortable but brief. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that cause minimal discomfort, similar to acupuncture. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients are surprised that the testing is more tolerable than they expected. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
You’ll get your nerve and muscle testing results the same day. We review the data immediately after testing and explain what the findings mean for your condition.

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose many conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. Common findings include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, identifies the specific location of dysfunction, and determines severity. This information is crucial for choosing the right treatment approach, whether that’s therapy, medication, injections, or surgery.
Preparation for nerve and muscle 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. Continue taking your regular medications unless we specifically instruct otherwise. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted device, let us know when scheduling. Most importantly, try to relax – stress can affect muscle activity and test results.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your doctor. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment.
