Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what’s been bothering you. This helps us determine which specific tests will give us the clearest picture of what’s happening.

During EMG testing, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves. Most patients find the procedures much more comfortable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your specific situation. If treatment is needed, we’ll discuss your options and help coordinate your next steps.

Most patients are surprised by how tolerable nerve and muscle testing actually is. During EMG testing, you’ll feel small needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which causes brief, mild discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. For nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause slight tingling or muscle twitching, but nothing painful. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while keeping you as comfortable as possible. Many patients say the anticipation was worse than the actual testing.
You’ll receive your nerve and muscle testing results the same day as your appointment. Our testing equipment provides immediate data, and our physician reviews and interprets your results right after the procedure is complete. This means you won’t be waiting days or weeks wondering what the tests found. You’ll leave our office with a clear understanding of your results and what they mean for your specific condition. If any follow-up testing or treatment is recommended, we’ll discuss those options during your same-day results consultation.
Nerve and muscle testing can identify a wide range of conditions affecting your neuromuscular system. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. The tests can also determine whether symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness stem from nerve problems, muscle issues, or other causes. This diagnostic clarity is essential for developing an effective treatment plan. The testing helps distinguish between similar conditions that might require completely different approaches to treatment.
Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is straightforward. 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know during scheduling, though most medications don’t need to be stopped. You can eat normally before your appointment and continue your regular activities afterward. The main thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your symptoms in detail with our testing team.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose specific symptoms. Coverage typically includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re needed to evaluate conditions like nerve pain, muscle weakness, or numbness. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your benefits before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your expected costs upfront, so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, call our office and we’ll check your benefits in advance.
Once your nerve and muscle testing is complete, our physician will explain your results in detail and discuss what they mean for your specific condition. If the tests identify a treatable problem, you’ll receive recommendations for next steps, which might include physical therapy, medications, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to specialists. For some conditions, the testing might show that no serious nerve damage exists, which can be reassuring news. Either way, you’ll have a clear understanding of your diagnosis and a plan moving forward. We can help coordinate any recommended treatments or additional care you might need.
