Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation where you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand exactly what you’ve been experiencing and when it started.

During the EMG portion, tiny electrodes are placed on your skin or inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. For nerve conduction studies, small electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients find the testing tolerable – it’s not comfortable, but it’s manageable and quick.

You’ll get your results explained immediately after testing. No waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong. We’ll walk you through exactly what the tests show and what it means for your specific situation. If treatment is needed, you’ll discuss your options right then and there.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our testing covers both nerve conduction studies and electromyography, giving a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. This comprehensive approach means you won’t need to go elsewhere for additional testing or get partial answers.

Douglas Park patients appreciate that everything is handled in one location. You’re not bounced between different offices or specialists just to get a complete evaluation. Our equipment is the same advanced technology you’d find at major medical centers, but with the personalized attention of a specialized practice.

Our testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and other nerve-related problems. Whatever’s causing your symptoms, this testing will either confirm it or rule it out definitively.

Most nerve and muscle testing sessions take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas need to be tested. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and which nerves or muscles we need to evaluate. EMG testing typically takes longer than nerve conduction studies because it requires testing individual muscles. You’ll know before you start approximately how long your specific tests will take, so you can plan accordingly.
The testing involves some discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. Nerve conduction studies feel like small electrical shocks – quick and brief. EMG testing involves inserting thin needles into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. The discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as the test is finished. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort of the testing process.
These tests can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, and various other nerve-related problems. The testing can also rule out serious conditions, which is often just as important as confirming a diagnosis. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained muscle problems, this testing can usually determine the cause.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician. NY Spine Medicine works with most major insurance providers and we’ll verify your coverage before scheduling your appointment. Our staff can also help you understand your specific benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about coverage, call ahead and we’ll check your benefits and explain what to expect.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results. If treatment is recommended, you can discuss your options right away. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of having your testing done at a specialized practice rather than a large hospital system.
While some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician, many allow you to schedule directly with a specialist. NY Spine Medicine can help you determine what your specific insurance plan requires. If you do need a referral, we can coordinate with your primary care doctor to get the necessary paperwork completed. The important thing is not to delay getting tested if you’re experiencing concerning symptoms – the sooner you get answers, the sooner you can start appropriate treatment.
