The Nerve Testing Process

Here's What Happens During Your Testing

Your testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion about 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.

During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit signals. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to evaluate their electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients find it much more tolerable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Complete Testing for Accurate Diagnosis

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG (electromyography) and nerve conduction studies, giving us a complete picture of your neurological function. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, or muscle disorders.

Most patients in Government Center come to us dealing with workplace injuries, repetitive strain conditions, or complications from diabetes. We understand these local health patterns and tailor our testing accordingly. Our equipment is calibrated regularly and meets the highest standards for accuracy.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment. We work with your other healthcare providers to ensure everyone understands the findings and can coordinate your care effectively.

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate and very tolerable. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity but controlled. The EMG involves thin needle electrodes that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to acupuncture. The actual testing is painless once the electrodes are in place. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients are surprised that it’s much less uncomfortable than they anticipated.
You get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what the data shows about your nerve and muscle function. You’ll understand whether there’s damage, where it’s located, and how severe it is before you leave the office. We also provide a written report that you can share with your other doctors. This immediate feedback helps you move forward with treatment planning without waiting weeks for results.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We verify your coverage before scheduling and handle the insurance paperwork for you. Our staff will let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. We accept most major insurance plans and can discuss payment options if you have a high-deductible plan.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and many other neurological conditions. The tests help differentiate between nerve damage and muscle problems, identify exactly where the issue is located, and determine how severe it is. This is especially valuable when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that could have multiple causes.
Preparation 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 on blood thinners, let us know beforehand, though this rarely affects the testing. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The main thing is to arrive relaxed and ready to discuss your symptoms in detail.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on what the testing revealed. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions depending on your specific condition. We coordinate with your primary care doctor or other specialists to ensure everyone is working from the same diagnostic information. You’ll have a clear understanding of your prognosis and what to expect as you move forward with treatment. Many patients feel relieved to finally have concrete answers about their symptoms.
