Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a brief review of your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

During the EMG portion, tiny electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we use small electrical pulses to test how well signals travel through your nerves. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and brief.

Testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Everything Included in Your Testing

Your comprehensive evaluation includes both electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies as needed. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.

Each test measures different aspects of nerve and muscle function. Nerve conduction studies check how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves. EMG testing evaluates the electrical activity in your muscles when they’re at rest and when you contract them.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining the findings in terms you can understand, plus recommendations for next steps. We also send results directly to your referring physician so your care stays coordinated.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches. The EMG uses very thin needles that feel similar to acupuncture. The sensations are temporary and stop immediately when testing ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the procedure.
Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas need evaluation. Simple carpal tunnel testing might take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive testing for multiple symptoms could take up to 90 minutes. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when you schedule based on your specific symptoms. The actual testing time is usually shorter than the appointment slot because we include time for preparation and result explanation.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We participate with most insurance networks and handle prior authorization requirements when needed. Our billing team will verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your specific benefits.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and many other neuromuscular conditions. The testing shows exactly where nerve damage or muscle problems are located and how severe they are. This helps your doctor determine whether your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle disease, or other issues requiring different treatments.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. Our physician will explain the findings and what they mean for your condition. You’ll also receive a written report to take with you. We send detailed results to your referring physician the same day so they can discuss treatment options with you quickly. This eliminates waiting weeks for results and allows you to move forward with appropriate treatment right away.
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. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know when scheduling as this may affect certain aspects of testing.
