EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Know Exactly What You're Dealing With

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Tingling in your hands that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Numbness that comes and goes without explanation.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you the clear answers you need. Through precise electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we identify exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can move forward with confidence. Your symptoms have a name, a cause, and most importantly, a path toward relief. That’s the difference between wondering and knowing.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens During Testing

First, we review your symptoms and medical history to determine which specific tests you need. Not everyone needs the same testing approach, so we customize based on what you’re experiencing.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static electricity. The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. 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.

Complete Diagnostic Testing You Can Trust

Our nerve and muscle testing includes comprehensive electromyography to evaluate muscle function and nerve conduction studies to assess nerve signal transmission. We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, muscle disorders, and other neurological conditions affecting Golden Beach residents.

You receive detailed results interpretation from our specialists, not just raw data. We explain what the numbers mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options make sense based on your specific findings. Our reports are thorough enough for insurance purposes but clear enough that you actually understand what’s happening in your body.

We also coordinate with your other healthcare providers when needed, ensuring your test results support a comprehensive treatment plan rather than leaving you to figure out next steps on your own.

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like mild static electricity or small taps on the skin. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn, but it’s not typically painful. The entire process is designed to be tolerable, and we explain each step as we go so you know what to expect. Many patients are surprised that it’s much more comfortable than they anticipated.
You get your results immediately after testing. Our specialists review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what we discovered and what it means for your condition. You don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about the results. We also provide written reports that you can share with other healthcare providers if needed for ongoing treatment planning.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and various other neurological conditions. They help distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, identify exactly which nerves are affected, and determine the severity of the condition. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan rather than just treating symptoms.
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 beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose specific symptoms. We verify your coverage before testing and handle the insurance paperwork for you. Our staff can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises with billing.
Once we identify what’s causing your symptoms, we discuss treatment options that make sense for your specific condition and lifestyle. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions depending on what we find. We can coordinate with your other doctors or provide referrals to specialists if needed. The goal is to move from diagnosis to effective treatment as quickly as possible.
