EMG NCV Testing Process

Here's What Actually Happens

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing your problems. The whole conversation takes about 15 minutes, and it’s important – we’re not just running standard tests on everyone.

The actual testing involves two parts. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical impulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. The EMG uses a thin needle electrode to check how your muscles respond to nerve signals. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most people tolerate it fine.

You’ll get results the same day. We’ll explain what we found in plain terms and send a detailed report to your doctor. The entire appointment usually takes 60-90 minutes, and you can drive yourself home afterward.

Comprehensive Muscle Nerve Evaluation

What You Get With Testing

Our testing evaluates both sensory and motor nerve function, which means we can identify problems with feeling and movement. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and the connection between your nerves and muscles.

This is particularly valuable for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders that other tests might miss. We also catch early signs of nerve damage before it becomes permanent.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes specific measurements, comparison to normal ranges, and clear explanations of what each finding means. Your referring doctor gets the same detailed information to guide your treatment plan.

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical shocks – uncomfortable but brief. Most people compare it to static electricity or a rubber band snap. The EMG involves thin needles in your muscles, which causes some discomfort when inserted and when you contract the muscle. The discomfort stops immediately when the needle is removed. Most patients tolerate both tests well, and we work at your pace. If you’re particularly sensitive to discomfort, let us know beforehand so we can discuss options to make you more comfortable.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right there in the office, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. A detailed written report goes to your referring doctor the same day, usually within a few hours. This quick turnaround means you’re not waiting weeks wondering what’s wrong, and your doctor can start planning treatment right away. If you need copies for other specialists or your own records, we can provide those immediately as well.
These tests are excellent for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders like myopathy, and nerve damage from diabetes or other conditions. We can also identify radiculopathy (nerve root compression), ulnar nerve entrapment, and various forms of polyneuropathy. The testing distinguishes between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial because treatments are completely different. We can also determine if symptoms are caused by nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle dysfunction.
Keep your skin clean and avoid using lotions or oils on the day of testing – they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. Don’t stop taking any medications unless specifically instructed by your doctor. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know, but you usually don’t need to stop them. Eat normally before your appointment. If you’re extremely anxious about needles, discuss this with us when scheduling so we can plan accordingly and make you as comfortable as possible.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance carriers and will verify your coverage before your appointment. These tests are considered diagnostic procedures, not elective treatments, so coverage is typically good. We’ll let you know about any copays or deductibles beforehand. If you have questions about coverage, our staff can contact your insurance company directly to clarify your benefits and any prior authorization requirements.
Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel through your nerves by measuring speed and strength of the signal. This is done with surface electrodes on your skin – no needles involved. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity when muscles are at rest and when you contract them. We usually do both tests together because they give us different but complementary information. The nerve conduction study shows us nerve function, while EMG shows us muscle function and how well nerves are communicating with muscles.
