Our Nerve Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history.

The EMG portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure muscle activity. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and tolerable.

You’ll get your results the same day. We’ll explain exactly what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and discuss the best treatment options moving forward. We coordinate directly with your referring doctor to ensure seamless care.

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our nerve and muscle testing covers both motor and sensory functions. We test for common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.

The electromyography (EMG) evaluates muscle response and can detect muscle disorders or nerve problems affecting muscle function. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves.

We also provide specialized testing for workplace injuries, diabetic neuropathy, and post-surgical nerve function. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and suspected conditions, ensuring we gather the most relevant diagnostic information for your case.

Most patients tolerate nerve and muscle testing well. The EMG involves small needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses that feel like small static shocks. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still getting accurate results. Any discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is complete. We explain each step as we go and can adjust the intensity if needed.
You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the data immediately after your test and explain the findings before you leave. We provide a detailed report that goes to your referring physician, usually within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering about your condition. If additional testing is needed, we’ll discuss that right away so you can move forward with treatment planning without delays.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The tests help distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which often have similar symptoms. We can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s getting better or worse. This information is crucial for choosing the right treatment approach, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery.
Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your condition. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know in advance. You can eat normally before the test and continue taking your regular medications unless we specifically instruct otherwise. The test itself doesn’t require any special preparation or recovery time.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. We also offer payment plans for patients who need them. The key is having a proper referral from your doctor and clear medical necessity for the testing based on your symptoms and condition.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss the findings and what they mean for your specific situation. We coordinate directly with your referring physician to develop a treatment plan based on the test results. Depending on what we find, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle changes, or referral to a specialist. We provide detailed recommendations and help connect you with the right providers for your next steps. Our goal is making sure you have a clear path forward for managing your condition effectively.
