You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands during work. Or shooting pain down your leg that makes walking difficult. Maybe it’s weakness in your arms that’s getting worse each month.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive results. We use electromyography and nerve conduction studies to measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Within hours, not weeks, you’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can finally get treatment that works.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Here's What Actually Happens

First, we review your symptoms and medical history. No rushing – we want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

Next comes the nerve conduction study. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast your nerves transmit signals. It feels like small taps or mild static – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

Then we perform electromyography using a thin needle electrode to measure your muscle activity. This shows us if your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals or if there’s damage somewhere in the pathway.

The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a full report within 24 hours that goes to both you and your referring physician.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

We test for the full range of nerve and muscle conditions affecting Gladeview residents. Carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive work. Sciatica from herniated discs. Diabetic neuropathy affecting your feet and hands. Pinched nerves in your neck or back.

Our testing identifies exactly which nerves are affected, how severe the damage is, and whether it’s getting worse over time. This isn’t basic screening – it’s comprehensive evaluation using the same equipment you’d find at major medical centers.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. We handle the authorization process and work directly with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.

You’ll receive detailed results explaining your condition in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment options that actually address what we found.

The nerve conduction portion feels like mild electrical taps or static shocks – brief and uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG uses thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Most patients describe it as pressure or mild discomfort rather than pain. The entire test takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when we’re finished. We explain each step beforehand so you know exactly what to expect.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing. We review the basic findings with you before you leave, so you’re not waiting in uncertainty. The complete written report with detailed analysis and treatment recommendations is typically ready within 24 hours. We send copies to both you and your referring physician simultaneously, so everyone stays informed about your diagnosis and next steps.
We can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and radiculopathy. The testing shows us exactly which nerves are affected, how severe the damage is, and whether it’s a nerve problem, muscle problem, or both. This helps your doctor create a treatment plan that targets the actual cause of your symptoms rather than just treating pain.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your benefits beforehand and handle prior authorization requirements. Medicare typically covers these tests with appropriate referrals. We work directly with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs and will discuss any potential charges before proceeding with testing.
Most insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician or specialist before nerve and muscle testing. Your doctor needs to document that you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that could indicate nerve or muscle problems. We coordinate with referring physicians to ensure proper documentation and can help facilitate the referral process if needed. Some plans allow direct scheduling for certain conditions.
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 on blood thinners, let us know beforehand but don’t stop taking them unless your doctor specifically instructs you to. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. The testing is done at room temperature, so you’ll be comfortable throughout the process.
