Nerve Function Testing Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and how your condition affects daily life. We need to understand the full picture before we begin testing.

The actual nerve conduction study involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to assess muscle activity. Most patients find the process manageable and appreciate finally getting concrete answers.

After testing, we review your results immediately. You’ll understand exactly what we found, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation. No waiting weeks for answers or confusing medical jargon—just clear information you can use.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one comprehensive session. This combination gives us a complete picture of your neurological function, from how your nerves transmit signals to how your muscles respond.

We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your hands and arms for suspected carpal tunnel syndrome, your legs for sciatica-related nerve issues, or other areas where you’re experiencing problems. The testing is thorough but efficient—we respect your time while ensuring we get all the information needed for accurate diagnosis.

You’ll receive detailed results that explain not just what we found, but how it relates to your symptoms and what treatment approaches are most likely to help. This isn’t just about identifying problems—it’s about creating a clear path forward for your recovery.

Most comprehensive nerve and muscle testing sessions take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas we’re evaluating. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the number of nerves and muscles we need to assess. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we schedule your appointment, and we stick to it. You won’t be sitting around waiting—we run on schedule and respect your time. The investment in a thorough evaluation is worth it when you finally get accurate answers about what’s causing your symptoms.
The nerve conduction study involves mild electrical stimulation that feels like a quick tap or rubber band snap. Most people tolerate this easily. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode, which causes brief discomfort similar to getting a vaccination. The discomfort is temporary and manageable for the vast majority of patients. We explain everything as we go and work at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Many patients tell us the relief of finally getting answers far outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.
Our diagnostic testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and various other nerve and muscle conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring, how severe it is, and whether the problem is getting worse or improving. This precision helps us recommend the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition. We can also rule out serious conditions, giving you peace of mind when symptoms are related to less concerning issues.
Requirements vary by insurance plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider first. Many plans do require a referral from your primary care doctor or another specialist. However, some plans allow direct access to diagnostic testing. Our office can help verify your coverage and guide you through the process. If you do need a referral, we can coordinate with your referring physician to ensure all necessary paperwork is completed properly. Don’t let insurance requirements delay getting the answers you need—we’ll help navigate the process.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right then and there, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. You won’t leave wondering what’s wrong or waiting days for a callback. We provide both verbal explanation and written results you can take with you. If you’re working with other healthcare providers, we can send your results to them the same day. This immediate feedback is one of the biggest advantages of our comprehensive approach—you get answers when you need them.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use 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. If you’re on blood-thinning medications, let us know when you schedule—you may need to adjust timing or get clearance from your prescribing doctor. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come ready to discuss your symptoms in detail so we can tailor the testing to your specific situation.
