EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Know Exactly What You're Dealing With

You’ve been living with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you awake at night.

The problem isn’t that your symptoms aren’t real. The problem is that you haven’t had the right testing to figure out what’s actually happening in your nerves and muscles.

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing gives you definitive answers. We use electromyography and nerve conduction studies to measure exactly how your nerves are functioning, how well your muscles are responding, and where the problem is coming from. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head. Just clear, measurable results that tell you and your doctor exactly what needs to be addressed.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what you’ve been experiencing. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely to give us useful information.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static electricity. We test multiple nerves to get a complete picture of what’s working normally and what isn’t.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us whether your muscles are getting proper signals from your nerves and how they’re responding. Most people find this more comfortable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything You Need in One Appointment

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, plus related nerve pathways that might be contributing to your problems.

You’ll receive a detailed report that clearly explains our findings in terms you can understand, plus the technical details your other doctors need for treatment planning. We don’t just hand you results and send you on your way.

Many of our Florida City patients are dealing with conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, or muscle disorders that haven’t been properly diagnosed. Our testing can distinguish between these conditions and identify exactly where the problem is located, which makes all the difference in getting the right treatment.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients are surprised by how manageable the testing is. The nerve conduction study feels like small taps or mild static electricity when we stimulate the nerves. The EMG uses thin needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture needles. The actual testing doesn’t hurt because we’re just measuring electrical activity. The whole process is much less uncomfortable than most people expect, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is finished.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and many other conditions affecting nerve and muscle function. The testing shows us exactly where nerves are damaged, compressed, or not working properly. It can also rule out serious conditions and help distinguish between problems that have similar symptoms but need different treatments. This is especially important for conditions like diabetic neuropathy versus vitamin deficiency neuropathy, which require completely different approaches.

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

The complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. You’ll get your results the same day, right after the testing is finished. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss next steps for treatment. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that you can share with your other doctors. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the tests showed.

Do I need to prepare anything special before the testing?

There’s minimal preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as this 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, but you usually don’t need to stop them. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The main thing is to come in with clean skin and comfortable clothing.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle diagnostic testing?

Most major insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with most insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. These tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures, similar to X-rays or blood tests, so coverage is typically straightforward. We’ll handle the insurance paperwork and let you know about any out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our staff can check with your insurance company before scheduling.

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

Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves, using electrodes placed on your skin. This shows us if nerves are compressed, damaged, or working normally. EMG measures the electrical activity inside your muscles using thin needle electrodes, which tells us if your muscles are getting proper signals from your nerves and how they’re responding. We usually do both tests together because they give us different but complementary information. Together, they create a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
