Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a review of your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started, so we can focus our testing on the areas most likely to give us answers.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical impulses that test how well signals travel through your nerves. Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful, and the entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes.

You’ll get your results the same day in most cases. We explain what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and how this information guides your treatment options. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps, plus a detailed report for your other doctors.

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take between 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation. The EMG portion typically takes 15-30 minutes, while nerve conduction studies add another 15-30 minutes. We schedule enough time so you never feel rushed, and we can answer all your questions about the results. Some complex cases may take longer, but we’ll let you know what to expect when you schedule your appointment.
Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical impulses that might cause brief tingling or muscle twitching. The EMG uses thin electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Any discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as the test is complete. Many patients say the testing was much easier than they expected, and the relief of finally getting answers makes it worthwhile.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The tests help identify exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly and determine the severity of the problem. This information is crucial for conditions where symptoms could have multiple causes, helping your doctor choose the most effective treatment approach rather than guessing.
Most major insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff handles the insurance paperwork and can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, call us and we’ll check with your insurance provider directly.
You’ll typically get your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you during your appointment, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You’ll receive a written report that day or within 24 hours, and we send detailed results to your referring physician. This quick turnaround means you can move forward with treatment planning right away instead of waiting weeks for answers.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. 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. If you’re on certain medications like blood thinners, let us know when you schedule. You can eat normally and continue most medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise.
