Neurological Testing Key Biscayne

Specialists Who Know Nerve Disorders

We bring specialized neurological expertise to Key Biscayne residents who need accurate diagnostic testing. Our board-certified physicians have extensive experience in nerve and muscle disorders.

We’ve been serving South Florida patients with comprehensive spine and neurological care, using the most advanced diagnostic equipment available. Our focus stays on getting you accurate results quickly.

You’re not just another test result to us. We take time to explain your findings, answer your questions, and connect your diagnosis to a treatment plan that makes sense for your specific situation.

Muscle Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us target the right areas for testing.

During the EMG portion, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Both tests are tolerable and provide immediate data.

You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We’ll discuss what your diagnosis means for your daily life and outline the next steps for treatment. No waiting weeks for answers or wondering what the results mean.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation Included

Your testing includes both electromyography to assess muscle function and nerve conduction studies to evaluate nerve health. We test multiple areas to get the complete picture of your condition.

Key Biscayne patients often come to us after dealing with symptoms that affect their active lifestyle. Whether you’re experiencing carpal tunnel from work, sciatica from a herniated disc, or unexplained weakness, our testing identifies the specific problem.

We coordinate with your other healthcare providers when needed and help you understand how your diagnosis fits into your overall health picture. The goal is giving you actionable information that leads to effective treatment.

How long does nerve and muscle testing take?

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45-90 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the complexity of your case. We don’t rush through the process because accuracy matters more than speed. You’ll receive your results and explanation during the same visit, so you’re not left waiting for answers. We schedule enough time to address all your questions about the findings and what they mean for your treatment options.

Does EMG and nerve conduction testing hurt?

The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. Most patients find this tolerable, though it can be surprising at first. The EMG involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which causes brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the needle is removed. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that’s comfortable for you. The information we gain from these tests is worth the brief discomfort for most patients.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. We can identify whether your symptoms come from nerve compression, muscle problems, or nerve damage. The testing also helps us determine the severity of your condition and track changes over time. For Key Biscayne residents dealing with unexplained numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain, this testing often provides the answers needed to start effective treatment.

Do I need to prepare for nerve and muscle testing?

Preparation is minimal for most patients. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, but you usually don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your benefits before your appointment and let you know what to expect for costs. Coverage typically includes both the EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re needed to diagnose your condition. We work with most major insurance providers serving the Key Biscayne area. Our staff handles the prior authorization process when required and helps you understand your coverage details.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we have your results, we’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your condition. We discuss treatment options based on your diagnosis, which might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other interventions. We coordinate with your referring physician and other specialists as needed to ensure you get comprehensive care. You’ll receive a detailed report of your findings to share with your healthcare team. Our goal is making sure you understand your diagnosis and feel confident about the next steps in your treatment plan.
