Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your life.

The actual testing involves two main components. Electromyography measures electrical activity in your muscles, while nerve conduction studies check how well signals travel through your nerves. The process takes about 45-60 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.

You’ll get your results immediately. We’ll explain exactly what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and discuss your treatment options. No waiting weeks for answers or callbacks with confusing medical jargon.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing and Analysis

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed in our Brickell office. We use state-of-the-art equipment that provides precise measurements of nerve function and muscle response.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. We also identify less common conditions that other providers might miss.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report with your results, plus a consultation to discuss findings and treatment recommendations. We coordinate with other specialists when needed and help you understand insurance coverage for recommended treatments.

How painful is nerve and muscle testing?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. The entire process takes 45-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. We explain each step beforehand so you know exactly what to expect, and most patients find it much more tolerable than they anticipated.

Will I get my test results the same day?

Yes, you’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps. We also provide a written report for your records and can send copies to your other healthcare providers if needed. This immediate feedback is one of the key advantages of having your testing done by specialists rather than waiting weeks for results from a lab.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from diabetes or injuries. We can also identify less common conditions like myasthenia gravis, ALS, or specific muscle diseases. The tests help distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which require different treatments. Sometimes symptoms that seem like one condition are actually caused by something completely different, which is why accurate testing is so important for proper treatment.

Do you accept insurance for nerve and muscle testing?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans for medically necessary nerve and muscle testing. EMG and nerve conduction studies are typically covered when ordered to diagnose specific symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. We verify your coverage beforehand and provide clear information about any out-of-pocket costs. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to minimize paperwork for you. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, we can check your benefits before scheduling your appointment to avoid any surprises.

How should I prepare for my nerve and muscle testing appointment?

Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your arms and legs 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. The testing works best when your muscles are at normal temperature, so avoid ice or heat therapy right before your appointment.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

The complete evaluation typically takes 60-90 minutes, including consultation time before and after testing. The actual EMG and nerve conduction studies usually take 45-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need to be tested. We start with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history, then perform the testing, followed by immediate review of results and treatment planning. We schedule appointments with adequate time so you never feel rushed, and we can thoroughly address all your questions about the findings and next steps.
