Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what you’ve already tried. This helps us determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information.

During EMG testing, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. Nerve conduction studies use mild electrical pulses to test how quickly signals travel through your nerves. Most patients describe the sensations as brief and tolerable.

Testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean and recommended next steps for addressing any issues we discover.

You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw data. We explain which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally, what conditions might be causing the problems, and how severe any issues are.

Most patients tolerate nerve and muscle testing well. EMG testing involves inserting thin needle electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. Nerve conduction studies use small electrical pulses that create a brief tingling or tapping sensation. The discomfort is temporary and most people find it much less uncomfortable than they expected. The entire process focuses on getting accurate results while keeping you as comfortable as possible throughout the testing.
You’ll receive your test results immediately after the procedure is complete. We review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. This includes identifying any nerve damage, muscle dysfunction, or other issues discovered during testing. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your symptoms and what treatment options make sense based on the diagnostic findings.
Nerve and muscle testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, muscle disorders, and various other conditions causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The tests measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, which helps pinpoint problems that might not show up on X-rays or MRIs. This makes it particularly valuable for diagnosing conditions where you feel symptoms but other tests haven’t provided clear answers.
Preparation is minimal for most patients. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically instruct otherwise. The goal is making the process as straightforward as possible while ensuring accurate test results.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your coverage before scheduling and can discuss any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. Many patients find that getting an accurate diagnosis through proper testing actually saves money by avoiding ineffective treatments or unnecessary procedures. Our staff handles insurance authorization and can explain your specific benefits before you commit to testing.
Once you have your results, we discuss treatment options based on what the testing revealed. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions depending on your specific condition. You’ll understand exactly what’s wrong and why certain treatments are recommended for your situation. Many patients feel relieved to finally have concrete answers and a clear path forward for addressing their symptoms effectively.
