Nerve Conduction Study Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The nerve and muscle testing process is straightforward. During your appointment, small electrodes are placed on your skin over the muscles and nerves being tested. For the nerve conduction study, mild electrical pulses measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are.

The EMG portion involves a thin needle electrode that detects electrical activity in your muscles. This shows whether muscle weakness comes from the muscle itself or from nerve problems affecting the muscle.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our nerve and muscle evaluation includes both EMG testing and nerve conduction studies to give you a complete picture of your neurological function. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss.

Common conditions we diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. The testing can also rule out serious neurological diseases when symptoms are concerning.

You’ll receive detailed reports that your other doctors can use to develop the most effective treatment plan. Whether you need physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions, having precise diagnostic information makes all the difference in your recovery.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical shocks or static electricity. The EMG involves thin needles, so you’ll feel brief pinching sensations when they’re inserted. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing ends. Many patients say it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected, and the relief of finally getting answers makes it worthwhile.
You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the findings immediately after your test and explain what they mean for your specific condition. You’ll receive a detailed written report that includes the test results, interpretation, and recommendations. This report can be shared with your other doctors right away, so there’s no delay in starting appropriate treatment based on your diagnosis.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle diseases, nerve damage from injuries, and various other neurological conditions. The testing shows exactly where nerves are compressed, damaged, or not conducting signals properly. It can also distinguish between nerve problems and muscle disorders, which is crucial for proper treatment. The tests are particularly valuable for diagnosing conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained muscle pain.
Avoid using 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let our office know when scheduling. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve or muscle symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose specific symptoms. We will verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any out-of-pocket costs. Many patients find that getting an accurate diagnosis through proper testing actually saves money in the long run by avoiding ineffective treatments and unnecessary procedures. Our staff can help you understand your benefits and payment options before scheduling your test.
Once you have your results, the next step depends on what the testing reveals. We will explain your diagnosis and discuss treatment options that specifically address your nerve or muscle problems. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle changes, or referrals to other specialists. You’ll receive copies of your test results to share with your primary care doctor or other healthcare providers. Having precise diagnostic information allows for targeted treatment that’s much more likely to be effective than generic approaches.
