Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it happens.

The electromyography portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin or inserting thin needles into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity and shows us how well your muscles are responding to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how fast and effectively your nerves transmit signals.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re evaluating. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a complete analysis and treatment recommendations within a few days. We explain everything in plain language so you understand exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle diagnostic testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You receive detailed results that identify specific nerves or muscles that aren’t functioning normally. We measure nerve conduction speed, muscle response times, and electrical activity patterns that reveal the source of your symptoms.

Our Kendale Lakes patients also get personalized treatment recommendations based on their specific test results. Whether your symptoms stem from nerve compression, muscle dysfunction, or underlying conditions, we create a targeted treatment plan that addresses the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate and very brief. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG involves thin needles, but they’re much smaller than typical injection needles. Any discomfort lasts only seconds during each test. We work at your pace and explain each step so you know what to expect. Most patients are surprised that the testing is much more tolerable than they anticipated.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and spinal stenosis effects on nerve function. The testing shows us exactly where nerve signals are being interrupted or where muscles aren’t responding properly. This helps us distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness. We can also determine if your symptoms are related to nerve damage, muscle problems, or spinal issues.
Complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. Simple tests for specific conditions like carpal tunnel might take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive testing for multiple symptoms can take up to an hour. We don’t rush through your testing because accuracy is crucial for proper diagnosis. You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing, with detailed analysis and treatment recommendations provided within a few days of your appointment.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose specific symptoms. We verify your coverage before scheduling and provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Medicare typically covers these diagnostic tests when they’re needed to evaluate nerve or muscle problems. Our billing team works directly with insurance companies to ensure proper authorization and maximize your benefits. We also offer payment options for any portions not covered by insurance.
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. Don’t stop taking any medications unless specifically instructed by your doctor. If you’re testing arm or hand nerves, avoid caffeine for a few hours beforehand as it can affect results. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail.
Once we have your complete results, we schedule a follow-up consultation to review findings and discuss treatment options. We explain exactly what the testing revealed about your nerve and muscle function, using charts and images to help you understand your condition. Based on your specific results, we create a personalized treatment plan that might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. We also coordinate with other specialists if needed and provide copies of your results for your primary care physician or other healthcare providers involved in your care.
