EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Your doctor says you need testing, but you’re not sure what to expect.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. Instead of guessing what’s causing your symptoms, electromyography and nerve conduction studies measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll know if it’s a pinched nerve, muscle disorder, or something else entirely.

The results guide your treatment plan. No more trying random therapies or medications that might not work. When you know the specific problem, you can target the right solution and start feeling better faster.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation about your symptoms. Your doctor reviews your medical history and explains which tests will give the clearest picture of what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.

During electromyography, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how quickly signals travel through your nerves. Both tests are performed in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes.

You’ll get your results the same day. Your doctor explains what the tests found, what it means for your condition, and recommends the most effective treatment options. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing Available

Our testing covers both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one appointment. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals move through your nerves, identifying problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, or peripheral neuropathy.

Electromyography evaluates muscle function and can detect conditions like muscle disorders, nerve root compression, or motor neuron diseases. The combination gives a complete picture of your neuromuscular system.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. We handle insurance authorization and provide detailed reports that your referring physician and other specialists can use to coordinate your care.

The testing involves mild discomfort but isn’t painful for most people. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief tingling or muscle twitching. For electromyography, thin needle electrodes are inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. The entire process is well-tolerated, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. Most patients say the testing is much easier than they expected.
Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. Nerve conduction studies typically take 15-30 minutes, while electromyography can take 15-45 minutes. Your doctor will explain the timeline during your consultation based on your specific symptoms. You can usually return to normal activities immediately after testing, though you might have minor soreness at needle insertion sites for a few hours.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your benefits before scheduling and handle prior authorization if required. Coverage typically includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies when ordered by your physician. You’ll know your expected costs before the appointment. If you have questions about specific coverage details, our staff can check with your insurance company directly.
These tests can identify many conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the spine, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The testing can also rule out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy when symptoms are concerning. Your doctor uses the results along with your symptoms and medical history to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
You’ll receive your results during the same appointment, right after testing is complete. Your doctor reviews the findings with you, explains what they mean in plain language, and discusses treatment recommendations. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that can be shared with your referring physician or other specialists. This immediate feedback means you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results or what comes next.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use 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 taking blood-thinning medications, let your doctor know, though you usually don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before testing if possible, as it can affect muscle activity. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results.
