EMG and NCV Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve and muscle testing process is straightforward. During electromyography, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves.

Most patients find the testing mildly uncomfortable but not painful. The entire evaluation typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need assessment.

You’ll receive your results the same day in most cases. Our specialist explains exactly what the findings mean and discusses next steps for treatment. No waiting weeks for answers or trying to interpret confusing reports on your own.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation Included

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a thorough evaluation of the affected areas. Our specialists assess both sensory and motor nerve function to identify exactly where problems exist.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, and muscle disorders. You get detailed information about the severity of any nerve damage and whether it’s getting worse.

Results are coordinated with your referring physician so your treatment plan addresses the specific problems identified during testing. This targeted approach means better outcomes and faster relief.

Most patients describe nerve and muscle testing as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. During EMG testing, you’ll feel small needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. Nerve conduction studies involve brief electrical pulses that create a tingling sensation. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the procedure.
The complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. Simple tests for one area like carpal tunnel syndrome might take 30 minutes, while comprehensive testing of multiple nerve groups takes closer to an hour. Our specialist will let you know the expected duration before starting. Most patients appreciate that they can get definitive answers in a single appointment rather than multiple visits or waiting weeks for results.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and peripheral neuropathy. The testing identifies exactly which nerves aren’t functioning properly and determines if muscle problems are due to nerve damage or muscle disease. This precision helps distinguish between conditions that might have similar symptoms but require completely different treatments, ensuring you get the right care from the start.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. This includes Medicare and most commercial insurance plans. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for evaluating nerve and muscle problems. NY Spine Medicine works with your insurance company to verify coverage before your appointment and handles the authorization process. You’ll know your expected costs upfront so there are no surprises after your testing is complete.
You’ll typically receive your nerve and muscle testing results the same day as your appointment. Our specialist reviews the findings with you immediately after testing and explains what the results mean in plain language. You’ll understand exactly which nerves or muscles have problems and how severe the issues are. A detailed report is also sent to your referring physician so your treatment plan can be developed based on the specific findings from your testing.
Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. 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 our office know when scheduling as this may affect certain aspects of testing. Continue taking all other medications as prescribed. Our staff will provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment.
