Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve and muscle testing process starts with a brief consultation about your symptoms and medical history. This helps determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information about your condition.

During the EMG portion, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how well signals travel along your nerves. Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected.

You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. The detailed report goes to your referring physician so you can move forward with an appropriate treatment plan right away.

Comprehensive Muscle Function Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our testing includes both electromyography (EMG) to evaluate muscle function and nerve conduction studies to assess how well your nerves transmit signals. This combination provides a complete picture of what’s happening with your neuromuscular system.

You’ll receive detailed results that identify the specific location and severity of any nerve damage or muscle dysfunction. Our testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy that might be causing your symptoms.

The comprehensive evaluation also helps rule out serious conditions and provides your doctor with the precise information needed to recommend the most effective treatment options for your specific situation.

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas need to be evaluated. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the number of nerves and muscles that need assessment. You’ll spend some time discussing your symptoms and medical history, followed by the EMG and nerve conduction studies. The good news is you’ll get your results before you leave, so there’s no waiting period for answers about your condition.
The testing involves some mild discomfort, but most patients find it much more tolerable than they expected. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief tingling or muscle twitching. The EMG portion involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. Any discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as the testing is complete. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable as possible while still providing accurate diagnostic information.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. The testing is also effective for evaluating muscle disorders, nerve injuries from trauma, and determining the location and severity of nerve compression. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain in your arms, legs, hands, or feet, these tests can often identify the underlying cause and help guide appropriate treatment.
There’s minimal preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician to diagnose specific symptoms or conditions.
