Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with a consultation where we discuss your symptoms and medical history. This helps us determine which specific tests will give us the most useful information about your condition.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we apply small electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals.

Most testing sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies. This combination gives us a complete picture of how your nervous system is functioning.

We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. The testing is thorough enough to catch issues that might be missed with less comprehensive approaches.

You’ll receive detailed results that your referring physician can use to develop an effective treatment plan. We also provide recommendations for next steps based on what we find during your evaluation.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches. The EMG portion involves thin electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. The discomfort is temporary and manageable for most people. We explain each step as we go and can adjust the testing if you’re particularly sensitive. The information we gather is worth the brief discomfort, and most patients are surprised that it’s not as uncomfortable as they expected.

How long do nerve conduction study results take to get back?

You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the findings with you immediately after the procedure is complete, explaining what the results mean in plain language. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that we send to your referring physician. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of our testing process – you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what the results show. If we find something that needs immediate attention, we’ll discuss next steps right away.

What conditions can EMG and nerve testing diagnose?

Our testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or diseases. We can also identify conditions like herniated discs affecting nerve function, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle diseases. The testing helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for proper treatment. Sometimes symptoms that seem like one condition are actually caused by something completely different, and our comprehensive testing reveals the true source of your problems.

Should I prepare anything special before my nerve testing appointment?

There’s minimal preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. 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 testing arm or hand function, short sleeves work best. For leg testing, shorts or pants that can be rolled up are ideal. You can take your regular medications unless specifically told otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will my insurance cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We work with most major insurance providers and handle the billing process for you. Before your appointment, we can verify your coverage and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. Having a referral from your primary care doctor or specialist usually ensures coverage. We’ll also provide you with all the documentation you need for insurance purposes, including detailed reports that justify the medical necessity of your testing.

How accurate are nerve and muscle function tests for diagnosis?

EMG and nerve conduction studies are highly accurate diagnostic tools when performed and interpreted correctly. They provide objective, measurable data about how your nerves and muscles are functioning, which is much more reliable than symptoms alone. The testing can detect nerve damage, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves with a high degree of accuracy. However, like all medical tests, they work best when combined with your clinical symptoms and medical history. Our experienced team knows how to interpret results in the context of your specific situation, which is crucial for getting an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations.
