EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Really Going On

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that disrupt your daily life. Tingling hands that wake you up at night. Leg pain that shoots down when you sit too long. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating.

The problem isn’t that you’re imagining things or that you need to “just live with it.” The problem is that without proper nerve and muscle testing, you’re treating symptoms instead of causes.

Our EMG and nerve conduction studies give you concrete answers. We measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. When we’re done, you’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, peripheral neuropathy, or something else entirely. No more guessing. No more trying treatments that might work.

We Know Nerve Problems Inside Out

NY Spine Medicine has been helping Florida patients get to the bottom of their nerve and muscle problems for years. We’re not a general practice trying to figure things out as we go.

EMG Testing Process Culmer

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll talk through your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your problems started, what makes them better or worse, and what you’ve already tried.

Next comes the actual testing. For the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG, we use a thin needle electrode to check how your muscles respond to nerve signals.

The whole process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients say it’s much less than they expected. We explain everything as we go, so you know what’s happening and why.

Within a few days, we’ll have your results analyzed and ready to discuss. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and what your treatment options look like.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Evaluation, Clear Results

Our nerve and muscle testing covers everything you need for an accurate diagnosis. We perform both EMG and nerve conduction studies during the same appointment, so we get a complete picture of what’s happening.

We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups, depending on your symptoms. If you’re having hand problems, we’ll check the nerves that control your fingers, wrist, and forearm. Back pain with leg symptoms means we’ll evaluate the nerves that run from your spine down to your feet.

You’ll get detailed results that show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t working properly, how severe the problem is, and whether it’s getting worse or staying stable. This information guides your treatment plan and helps predict how well different therapies might work for your specific situation.

Most patients are surprised that EMG and nerve conduction testing isn’t as uncomfortable as they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical shocks – similar to static electricity but more controlled. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes, which cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to getting blood drawn. The actual testing doesn’t hurt because the needles aren’t moving around. We work quickly and efficiently, and most people say the temporary discomfort is worth getting real answers about their symptoms.
We typically have your results ready within 2-3 business days after your testing appointment. Our specialists need time to carefully analyze all the data we collected during your EMG and nerve conduction studies. We’re looking at nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and comparing your results to normal ranges. Once the analysis is complete, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to go over your results in detail and discuss what they mean for your treatment options.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve entrapment syndromes. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring, how severe it is, and whether the problem is getting worse or improving. This information helps us distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms, ensuring you get the right treatment for your specific problem.
There’s minimal preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas we need to test. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know ahead of time, but you usually don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle problems. Most importantly, come ready to discuss your symptoms in detail.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment and let you know what your expected costs will be. These tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures for nerve and muscle problems, similar to getting an X-ray for bone issues. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our billing team can help you understand your benefits and work with your insurance company to ensure proper authorization if needed.
Once we have your results, we’ll schedule a consultation to explain exactly what we found and what it means for your condition. We’ll show you the specific areas where nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly and discuss the severity of the problem. Based on your diagnosis, we’ll outline your treatment options, which might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. We’ll also discuss your prognosis – whether your condition is likely to improve, stay stable, or require ongoing management. Our goal is to give you a clear path forward for addressing your symptoms.
