Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing your problems.

The actual testing involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond. Most patients find the process uncomfortable but not painful, and each test takes about 30-45 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate.

You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options. We’ll also send a detailed report to your referring physician so your care team has everything they need to move forward with the right treatment plan.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

What Your Testing Includes

Your comprehensive evaluation includes both electromyography (EMG) to assess muscle function and nerve conduction studies to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. We test multiple nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

Many patients come to us after dealing with symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or unexplained muscle weakness. Our testing can distinguish between nerve compression, nerve damage, muscle disorders, and other conditions that cause similar symptoms.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining which specific nerves or muscles are affected, the severity of any problems we find, and recommendations for treatment. This takes the guesswork out of your diagnosis and ensures you’re getting treatment that actually addresses the root cause of your symptoms.

Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might make your muscles twitch slightly. The EMG portion involves inserting very thin needles into specific muscles, which feels similar to getting a vaccination. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable throughout the evaluation.
You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the findings immediately after your evaluation and explain what we discovered, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options make the most sense based on your specific results. We also send a comprehensive report to your referring physician within 24 hours so your care team has everything they need to coordinate your treatment plan without any delays.
Our testing can identify a wide range of neuromuscular conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve compression syndromes, and radiculopathy. The tests help distinguish between nerve damage, muscle problems, and conditions that cause similar symptoms but require different treatments. This is especially valuable when you have numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that hasn’t been clearly diagnosed through other methods.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We work with most insurance providers and will verify your coverage before scheduling your appointment. Our staff can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, we recommend calling your insurance company with the procedure codes we provide during scheduling.
There’s minimal preparation required for nerve and muscle testing. 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. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know during scheduling, though this rarely affects your ability to have the testing done. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and how well your nerves transmit electrical signals, helping identify nerve damage or compression. EMG testing evaluates the electrical activity in your muscles to determine if muscle weakness or other symptoms are caused by nerve problems or muscle disorders. Most comprehensive evaluations include both tests because they provide different but complementary information about your neuromuscular system. Together, they give us a complete picture of what’s causing your symptoms and the best approach for treatment.
