Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us target the testing to your specific situation.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode records the electrical activity in your muscles. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes.

You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We’ll discuss exactly what’s causing your symptoms and what treatment options will be most effective for your specific condition.

Comprehensive Muscle Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies, giving us a complete picture of what’s happening with your nervous system. We test nerve signal speed, muscle response patterns, and identify exactly where problems are occurring.

Many Weehawken patients come to us after dealing with carpal tunnel symptoms from computer work, sciatica from long commutes, or unexplained muscle weakness that’s been getting worse. Our testing identifies conditions like peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, and muscle disorders that other tests might miss.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report that your other doctors can use to develop the most effective treatment plan. No more trial-and-error approaches based on unclear symptoms.

Most nerve and muscle testing sessions take between 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we need to evaluate. The nerve conduction study portion typically takes 15-30 minutes, while the EMG testing adds another 15-30 minutes. We’ll let you know the expected timeframe when you schedule your appointment. The good news is that you’ll get your results immediately after testing, so you won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what we found.
The nerve conduction study involves mild electrical stimulation that feels like a quick tap or snap – brief and tolerable for most people. The EMG portion uses thin needle electrodes that cause minimal discomfort, similar to getting blood drawn. Most patients say the testing is much less uncomfortable than they expected. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete. We’ll explain everything as we go and make sure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and various other nerve-related conditions. We can identify exactly where nerve damage or compression is occurring and determine how severe the problem is. This includes conditions causing numbness in hands or feet, muscle weakness, chronic pain, and tingling sensations. The testing also helps rule out serious neurological conditions, giving you peace of mind when symptoms are benign.
Most insurance plans cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when medically necessary, which includes most cases where you’re experiencing unexplained nerve or muscle symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will check your specific benefits and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. We believe in transparent pricing, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any testing is performed.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing is complete. We’ll review the findings with you right away, explain what we discovered, and discuss what it means for your condition. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. We also provide a detailed written report that you can share with your other doctors. There’s no waiting period or follow-up appointment needed just to get your results – we believe you deserve answers right away.
While some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care doctor, many allow direct access to specialist testing. We can check your specific insurance requirements when you call to schedule. If you do need a referral, we can often coordinate with your doctor’s office to expedite the process. Don’t let referral requirements delay getting the answers you need – our staff will help navigate any insurance requirements and get you scheduled as quickly as possible.
