EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Actually Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you awake at night. Your regular doctor ran some basic tests, maybe ordered an MRI, but you’re still stuck with vague explanations and treatments that aren’t working.

Nerve and muscle diagnostic testing changes that. EMG and nerve conduction studies measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. We’re talking about precise, measurable data that shows where the problem actually is.

When you know what’s wrong, you can fix it. No more guessing. No more trying random treatments. You get a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause of your symptoms.

Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

The process starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? What treatments have you already tried? This conversation helps us determine which specific tests will give you the most useful information.

Nerve conduction studies come first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves. It feels like small, brief shocks. Not comfortable, but tolerable, and each test only takes a few minutes.

EMG testing measures muscle activity using a thin needle electrode. The needle detects electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and when you contract them. This shows whether muscle weakness is coming from the muscle itself or from nerve problems affecting the muscle.

Most testing sessions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You get results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Nerve Diagnostic Testing

What You Get With Our Testing

Your testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by experienced technicians under physician supervision. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and the areas of concern identified during your consultation.

You receive same-day results with a detailed explanation of findings. No waiting weeks for answers. We review results with you immediately and discuss what the findings mean for your diagnosis and treatment options.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. For Kendall residents dealing with work-related repetitive strain or age-related nerve changes, this testing provides the clarity needed to move forward with effective treatment.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. Our staff handles prior authorization requirements and works with your insurance to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

Nerve conduction studies feel like small electrical shocks. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but not unbearable. The sensation only lasts for the few seconds each nerve is being tested. EMG testing involves a thin needle inserted into muscles, which feels like getting an injection. The discomfort is brief and manageable for most people. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. Patients consistently tell us the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort of testing.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes or other causes, muscle disorders like myopathy, nerve damage from injuries, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. The testing also helps distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems when you have weakness. For example, if you have hand numbness, the test can determine whether it’s coming from your wrist, elbow, neck, or a systemic condition affecting multiple nerves throughout your body.
You get results immediately after testing is complete. We review findings with you during the same appointment and explain what the results mean for your diagnosis. You don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering what the tests showed. This same-day approach means you can start discussing treatment options right away. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed based on your results, those recommendations are made during your visit so you can move forward with your care plan without delays.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. Our staff handles prior authorization requirements and works directly with insurance companies to verify coverage before your appointment. We’ll let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. Medicare and most major insurance carriers recognize these tests as standard diagnostic procedures for nerve and muscle conditions. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call ahead and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling.
Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing since they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re having arm or hand testing, wear a short-sleeved shirt. For leg testing, wear shorts or pants that can be rolled up easily. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically told otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let our staff know when scheduling since this may affect EMG testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Once you have a clear diagnosis, we discuss your treatment options based on the specific condition identified. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referral to other specialists if needed. For conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, you’ll know whether conservative treatment is likely to work or if you need surgical evaluation. The results also help determine if your condition is likely to improve, stay stable, or progress over time. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment, along with written results you can share with other healthcare providers.
