Nerve Function Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

The nerve conduction study comes first. 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 light static – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

Next is the electromyography, or EMG. We use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This tells us whether the problem is in your nerves, muscles, or both. The needle insertion feels like getting a shot, and most people tolerate it easily.

Throughout the entire process, we explain what we’re doing and what the results mean. The whole appointment typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you’ll have your results immediately. We’ll discuss what we found and your next steps before you leave.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and any areas of concern. We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and other neuromuscular problems.

The testing helps us determine not just what condition you have, but how severe it is and whether it’s getting worse. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that actually addresses your specific situation.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical taps or static shocks that last just a second. The EMG involves thin needle insertions that feel similar to getting a shot. We work at your pace and explain everything as we go. Many patients say it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected, and the brief discomfort is worth getting clear answers about their symptoms.
The complete testing usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. The nerve conduction study typically takes 15-20 minutes, and the EMG takes another 15-25 minutes. We schedule enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can answer all your questions about the results. You’ll have your results immediately after testing, so there’s no waiting period for answers.
Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscle disorders, and many other neuromuscular conditions. We can determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. The testing also shows us how severe the condition is and whether it’s progressing. This helps us recommend the right treatment approach, whether that’s conservative care, injections, or surgical options.
There’s minimal preparation needed. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The testing doesn’t require any fasting or special restrictions.
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 can help you understand your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. We believe getting an accurate diagnosis is essential, so we’ll work with you on payment options if needed.
We’ll explain your results in detail during your appointment and give you a clear understanding of what’s causing your symptoms.
