EMG and Nerve Testing Costa Del Sol

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that make simple tasks difficult. Your hands feel numb during work. Your legs tingle when you walk. Maybe you’ve lost grip strength or feel weakness in your arms.

The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves. You need answers, not guesswork.

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, or something else entirely. With a clear diagnosis, you can finally move forward with the right treatment instead of trying random solutions that don’t work.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and how they affect your daily activities. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing problems.

During electromyography, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical impulses test how quickly and effectively your nerves send signals. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to static electricity – noticeable but not painful.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Diagnostic Testing

Complete Neuromuscular Assessment

Your testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies to evaluate different aspects of nerve and muscle function. This combination provides a complete picture of what’s happening in your neuromuscular system.

The evaluation can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. We test both sensory nerves (feeling) and motor nerves (movement) to determine exactly which nerves are affected and how severely.

You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and specific locations of any abnormalities. This information helps your doctor develop a targeted treatment plan instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach that may not address your specific nerve or muscle problem.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical impulses similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that may cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture. The actual testing sensations are mild and temporary. Many patients say the anticipation is worse than the actual experience. The entire process is designed to gather necessary diagnostic information while minimizing discomfort.
A complete nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need testing. Simple cases like suspected carpal tunnel syndrome may take closer to 30 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations of multiple nerve groups can take up to an hour. The testing moves efficiently from one area to the next, and you’ll know your results before leaving the appointment. Most patients appreciate that they can get definitive answers in a single visit rather than waiting weeks for results.
Nerve and muscle testing can identify many common conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), sciatica, and various muscle disorders. The testing shows exactly where nerve damage or dysfunction is occurring, how severe it is, and whether the problem is getting worse or improving. This precision helps distinguish between similar conditions that might cause comparable symptoms but require different treatments. You’ll know specifically which nerves are affected rather than getting a general diagnosis.
Preparation is minimal but important for accurate results. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though this rarely affects the testing. Don’t stop taking any medications unless specifically instructed. Most patients can eat normally and continue their regular activities before and after testing.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when symptoms warrant diagnostic evaluation. Coverage typically requires a referral from your primary care doctor or specialist who has documented your symptoms and the need for testing. We work with most insurance providers and can verify your coverage before your appointment. For patients without insurance or with high deductibles, we offer transparent pricing and payment options to make testing accessible when you need answers about your condition.
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of your results immediately after testing, including what the findings mean for your specific condition. The results are sent to your referring doctor, who will use this information to develop your treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment might include medication, physical therapy, injections, or other interventions. In some cases, the results show normal nerve function, which helps rule out serious conditions and guides your doctor toward other potential causes of your symptoms.
