Muscle Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Where exactly do you feel them? This conversation helps us determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information.

The actual testing involves two main components. Electromyography measures your muscle activity using small electrodes. Nerve conduction studies check how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Both tests are performed right in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes total.

You’ll get your results the same day. No waiting weeks for answers or trying to interpret confusing reports on your own. We explain exactly what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and discuss your treatment options. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

Nerve Conduction Study Queens

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing Available

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. These tests work together to give a complete picture of your neurological function, checking everything from nerve signal transmission to muscle response patterns.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves. You’ll also receive a detailed report that you can share with other healthcare providers, ensuring everyone involved in your care has the same accurate information.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary. Our office handles insurance verification and provides transparent pricing information upfront, so you know what to expect before your appointment.

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from diabetes or other causes. The tests measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, which helps identify exactly where problems are occurring. This precision is especially valuable when you have symptoms that could be caused by multiple different conditions, as it eliminates guesswork and ensures you get the right treatment approach.
Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful. Nerve conduction studies involve small electrical pulses that feel like brief, mild shocks. EMG testing uses thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test is finished. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers about their symptoms far outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions or creams 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know in advance. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring a list of your current symptoms and any previous test results related to your condition.
You’ll receive your results during the same appointment. We review the findings with you immediately after testing is complete, explaining what the results mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll also receive a written report that you can share with your referring physician or other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback is one of the key advantages of having your testing done at a specialized facility rather than waiting weeks for results from a hospital system.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. Our office verifies your insurance coverage before your appointment and provides information about any potential out-of-pocket costs. We work with most major insurance providers and can often schedule your testing quickly once insurance approval is obtained. If you have questions about coverage, it’s best to call and discuss your specific situation with our billing team.
Once you have your diagnosis, we discuss treatment options specific to your condition. This might include medications, physical therapy, injections, or referrals to other specialists depending on what the tests reveal. You’ll receive a detailed report to share with your referring physician, and our office coordinates with your other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care. The goal is to move quickly from diagnosis to treatment so you can start addressing your symptoms as soon as possible.
