EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Wrong With Your Nerves

You’ve been dealing with nerve pain, numbness, or muscle weakness for months. Maybe even years. Your regular doctor keeps guessing, but you need real answers.

Nerve and muscle diagnostic testing gives you those answers. When we run EMG and nerve conduction studies, we’re measuring exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Not guessing. Not assuming. Actually measuring.

This means you’ll know if you’re dealing with nerve damage, muscle disorders, or something else entirely. You’ll understand whether your condition is getting worse or staying stable. Most importantly, you’ll finally have the information you need to get the right treatment instead of trying random approaches that may or may not work.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. This helps us understand which specific tests will give you the most useful information about your condition.

During the EMG portion, we place small electrodes on your skin or insert thin needles into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity in your muscles and shows us how well your nerves are communicating with those muscles.

For nerve conduction studies, we apply small electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel some mild sensations, but most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes. We’ll explain what we’re finding as we go, and you’ll have your results before you leave our office.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Testing That Covers All Possibilities

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and any areas of damage or dysfunction. We explain these results in plain language, so you understand exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Many patients in Indian Creek Village and throughout South Florida choose us because we combine thorough testing with clear communication. You won’t leave wondering what your results mean or what to do next.

Most patients are surprised by how manageable the testing is. During EMG testing, you’ll feel small pinpricks when electrodes are inserted, similar to acupuncture. For nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel brief electrical pulses that cause a quick muscle twitch. The sensations are uncomfortable for a few seconds but not severely painful. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the test. The entire process is designed to gather the information we need while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
Nerve and muscle diagnostic testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, sciatica, and various forms of nerve compression. The testing shows us whether your symptoms are coming from nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. It can also rule out serious conditions, which is often just as valuable as finding a specific diagnosis. The results help determine if your condition is progressive, stable, or improving, which guides treatment decisions.
You’ll have your results before leaving our office. We review the findings with you immediately after testing is complete, explaining what the results mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll receive a detailed written report that you can share with other healthcare providers. This immediate feedback is important because it allows you to ask questions while the information is fresh and start planning your next steps right away. No waiting weeks for results or wondering what the numbers mean.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams 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 in advance, but you typically don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before testing, as it can affect muscle response. Most importantly, continue taking your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with major insurance providers and handle the authorization process for you when required. Before your appointment, we’ll verify your coverage and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. Our billing team is experienced with insurance requirements for diagnostic testing and will work to maximize your benefits. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your specific benefits.
EMG (electromyography) measures electrical activity in your muscles, showing us how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and effectively electrical signals travel through your nerves themselves. Think of it this way: nerve conduction studies test the “wiring” while EMG tests how well the “motors” (muscles) work when they receive signals. We often do both tests together because they give us different but complementary information about your condition. This comprehensive approach helps us pinpoint whether problems are in the nerves, muscles, or the connection between them.
