Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and how they’re affecting your daily activities. This background helps us determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information.

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

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll receive a preliminary explanation of findings right away, with detailed results sent to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. This quick turnaround means you can start appropriate treatment without unnecessary delays.

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during nerve and muscle testing. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief static shocks. EMG testing uses thin electrodes that may cause slight discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture. The sensations are temporary and well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. Our testing team explains each step and works at your pace to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
You’ll receive a preliminary explanation of your nerve and muscle testing results immediately after the procedure. The specialist performing your test will discuss the main findings and what they mean for your condition. Complete written results are typically sent to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. This quick turnaround allows your doctor to review the detailed findings and discuss treatment options with you promptly, avoiding unnecessary delays in your care.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose many neurological conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc complications, and various muscle disorders. The testing can also rule out certain conditions, which is equally valuable for determining the right treatment approach. These diagnostic tools are particularly effective at pinpointing the exact location of nerve damage or compression, helping distinguish between different types of neurological problems that might cause similar symptoms.
Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let our office know when scheduling, though this rarely affects the ability to perform the tests safely.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. NY Spine Medicine works with major insurance providers and we will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our office staff can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront. Pre-authorization is handled when required by your insurance plan. Having diagnostic testing performed at a specialized facility often provides better insurance coverage than hospital-based testing.
Nerve and muscle testing provides crucial information that helps determine whether surgery might be beneficial for your condition. The tests can show the severity of nerve damage, whether compression is occurring, and how well your muscles are functioning. This objective data helps you and your doctor make informed decisions about treatment options. In many cases, the testing reveals that conservative treatments might be effective, potentially helping you avoid unnecessary surgical procedures while ensuring you don’t miss cases where surgery could provide significant benefit.
