Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what areas need testing. This helps us focus on the specific nerves and muscles that might be causing your problems.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. It feels like small taps or light static shocks. For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What You Get With Our Testing

Our comprehensive nerve and muscle testing evaluates both the speed and strength of nerve signals throughout your body. We can identify problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and muscle disorders that other tests might miss.

You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally, how severe the problem is, and whether it’s getting worse or improving. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

Many patients in Bird Grove East come to us after months of uncertainty about their symptoms. Our testing provides the clarity they need to move forward with confidence, whether that means physical therapy, medication, or other targeted treatments.

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small taps or light static shocks. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The sensations are temporary and stop immediately when the test is finished. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize any discomfort, and most patients find the testing much more tolerable than they expected. The information we get from these tests is worth the brief discomfort for the clear answers they provide.
The complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome might take 30 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations for multiple symptoms can take up to an hour. We’ll give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment based on your specific symptoms. Most patients appreciate that they can get definitive answers in a single visit rather than waiting weeks for multiple appointments or referrals.
Our nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and many other neurological conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve signals are being blocked or slowed down, and whether muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation. This helps us distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms, like determining whether hand numbness is from carpal tunnel syndrome or a neck problem affecting the nerves.
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 what your specific plan covers and what your out-of-pocket costs might be. We believe diagnostic testing shouldn’t be delayed because of insurance concerns, so we’ll work with you to make sure you can get the answers you need about your symptoms.
Come to your appointment with clean skin and avoid using lotions or oils on the areas being tested, 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 beforehand, but you typically don’t need to stop them for this testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come ready to discuss your symptoms in detail so we can focus our testing on the most relevant areas.
You’ll get your results immediately after the testing is complete. We’ll review the findings with you right away and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that you can share with your other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback is one of the major advantages of nerve and muscle testing – you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results. We’ll also discuss your treatment options and next steps based on what the testing reveals about your specific condition.
