Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms. Our specialist reviews your medical history and explains exactly what tests will provide the most useful information.

During electromyography (EMG), small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves. Both procedures are performed in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes.

You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. Your detailed report goes directly to your referring physician so treatment planning can begin immediately.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Your evaluation includes both EMG testing for muscle function and nerve conduction velocity studies to assess nerve health. This comprehensive approach ensures nothing gets missed.

Our testing covers common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. You’ll also receive consultation time to discuss your specific symptoms and concerns.

Many Parsons Beach patients appreciate that most diagnostic procedures are covered by insurance. We handle authorization and billing, so you can focus on getting the answers you need rather than paperwork.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. During EMG testing, you’ll feel small needle electrodes being inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. Nerve conduction studies involve brief electrical pulses that create a tingling sensation. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers far outweighs the temporary discomfort of the test.
You’ll receive your test results the same day as your appointment. Our specialist reviews findings with you immediately after testing is complete, explaining what the results mean in plain language. A detailed written report is sent to your referring physician within 24 hours, so treatment planning can begin right away. This quick turnaround means you won’t spend weeks wondering about your condition or waiting for next steps in your care.
Nerve and muscle diagnostic testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The testing also helps determine the severity of conditions and whether problems are getting better or worse over time. EMG and nerve conduction studies are particularly useful for evaluating numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and unexplained pain in arms, legs, hands, or feet. Our specialist can determine if your specific symptoms warrant testing during your consultation.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle diagnostic testing when ordered by your physician for medical necessity. NY Spine Medicine works with major insurance providers and handles prior authorization when required. Our billing team verifies your coverage before your appointment and explains any out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about your specific plan’s coverage, call ahead with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling your test.
Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these 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 symptoms. If you’re taking blood thinners, let our office know when scheduling, as this may affect certain aspects of testing. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail, including when they started and what makes them better or worse.
Unlike MRI or CT scans that show structure, nerve and muscle testing measures actual function – how well your nerves conduct signals and how your muscles respond. This functional testing often reveals problems that don’t show up on imaging studies. EMG and nerve conduction studies provide specific information about the location and severity of nerve or muscle problems, which helps your doctor choose the most effective treatment. Many patients find this testing gives them answers when other tests have been inconclusive or normal despite ongoing symptoms.
