EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Your regular doctor says “let’s wait and see” but you need answers now.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, neuropathy, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, treatment becomes straightforward. Instead of trying random therapies that might help, you get targeted treatment that addresses your specific condition. That means faster relief and better outcomes.

Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Answers

Our process starts with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what you’ve already tried. This helps us determine which specific tests will give the most useful information about your condition.

During electromyography, small electrodes measure the electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves. Both tests are performed in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation.

You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. If the testing reveals a specific condition, we’ll discuss treatment options immediately. If additional evaluation is needed, you’ll have a clear next step rather than more uncertainty.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Testing for Accurate Diagnosis

Our evaluation includes both EMG and nerve conduction testing to assess different aspects of nerve and muscle function. This comprehensive approach helps us identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and muscle disorders that might be missed with limited testing.

We can evaluate symptoms in your hands, arms, legs, feet, or back. Whether you’re dealing with diabetes-related neuropathy, work-related repetitive strain, or unexplained neurological symptoms, our diagnostic process is tailored to your specific situation.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. Our office handles insurance verification and can discuss coverage before your appointment so you know what to expect.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief tingling or muscle twitching. EMG testing involves thin needles that may cause momentary discomfort when inserted, similar to getting blood drawn. The entire process is well-tolerated by most people, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. We monitor your comfort throughout the procedure, and testing can be adjusted if needed.
Results are available immediately after testing is complete. Our neurologist reviews your test data right away and discusses findings with you during the same appointment. You’ll receive a clear explanation of what the results mean for your specific symptoms and condition. If the testing confirms a diagnosis, we discuss treatment options immediately. If additional evaluation is recommended, you’ll understand exactly what the next steps involve and why they’re necessary for your care.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), muscle disorders, and various other neurological conditions affecting nerve and muscle function. They’re particularly helpful for evaluating numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and pain that may be related to nerve damage or compression. The testing can also determine the severity of conditions and help us monitor changes over time. This information is crucial for developing effective treatment plans and determining whether conservative care or more aggressive intervention is needed.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. Coverage typically requires appropriate symptoms and often a referral from your primary care physician or specialist. Our office verifies your insurance benefits before testing and can discuss your expected costs upfront. Medicare and most major insurance providers recognize these tests as standard diagnostic procedures. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our staff can help clarify your benefits before scheduling.
Preparation is minimal for most patients. 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling, though these tests are generally safe even for patients on anticoagulants. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
If testing reveals nerve or muscle problems, we’ll immediately discuss treatment options based on your specific condition and its severity. Many conditions respond well to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle modifications. Some cases may benefit from injections or other interventional procedures. The key advantage of accurate testing is that treatment can be targeted to your exact problem rather than using a trial-and-error approach. You’ll understand your condition, prognosis, and have a clear treatment plan before leaving the appointment.
