NY Spine Medicine has been helping Florida patients get accurate diagnoses for complex nerve and muscle conditions. Our physicians specialize in neurological testing and spine-related disorders, which means we know how to interpret the subtle findings that other providers might miss.

We’ve invested in advanced diagnostic equipment because we understand that accurate testing requires precision tools. More importantly, we take the time to explain your results in plain language, so you understand exactly what’s happening and what your options are.

Our focus on spine and neurological conditions means we see these types of cases every day. We know the questions to ask, the tests to run, and how to connect your symptoms to the underlying problem.

Muscle Function Test Process Mdcc

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life. This information guides which specific tests we’ll perform.

During electromyography testing, we use thin electrodes to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we apply small electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. These tests show us exactly where problems are occurring and how severe they are.

Most patients find the testing process much easier than they expected. The entire evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Nerve Evaluation Mdcc FL

Complete Testing That Covers All Bases

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, which gives us a complete picture of your neurological function. We test motor nerves, sensory nerves, and muscle responses to identify exactly where problems are occurring.

You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any areas of dysfunction. We don’t just hand you a report – we sit down and explain what each finding means for your specific situation. Many patients tell us this is the first time anyone has clearly explained their neurological symptoms.

We also coordinate with your other healthcare providers when needed. If your results indicate you need specialized treatment, we’ll make sure your primary care physician or specialist has all the information they need to develop an effective treatment plan.

Most comprehensive nerve and muscle testing takes between 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re evaluating. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and how many nerve pathways we need to assess. We don’t rush through the process because accurate results require careful measurement of each nerve and muscle group. You’ll typically spend additional time discussing your results, so plan for about 90 minutes total for your appointment. We provide your results and interpretation the same day, so you won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what the tests showed.
Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches – similar to static electricity but slightly stronger. The EMG portion involves thin electrodes that feel like small pinpricks when inserted. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when each test is complete. Many patients are surprised that the testing is much more tolerable than they expected. We explain each step as we go, and you can ask us to pause at any time if you need a break.
Nerve and muscle testing can identify a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or diseases. The tests are particularly useful for diagnosing radiculopathy (nerve root compression), determining the severity of nerve damage, and distinguishing between different types of neurological problems. We can also identify whether your symptoms are caused by nerve problems, muscle problems, or both. This information is crucial for developing the right treatment approach, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgical intervention.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when you have symptoms like unexplained pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff handles the prior authorization process when required and can explain your expected out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, call our office with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the diagnostic answers you need.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode contact. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking muscle relaxants or certain other medications, let us know – we might recommend temporarily adjusting the timing. Bring a list of all your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail, including when they started and what activities make them better or worse.
We’ll explain your results in detail during your appointment, including what each finding means for your condition and treatment options. You’ll receive a copy of the complete report, which we can also send to your referring physician or other healthcare providers. Based on your results, we might recommend conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle modifications. In some cases, the results might indicate you’d benefit from specialized treatments or consultation with other specialists. We’ll help coordinate your next steps and make sure you have a clear path forward for addressing your symptoms.
