EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies

Know Exactly What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with pain, numbness, or weakness long enough. Maybe your doctor suspects a nerve problem but needs proof. Maybe treatments aren’t working because no one knows what they’re actually treating.

Our nerve and muscle testing cuts through the guesswork. EMG testing measures how your muscles respond to nerve signals. Nerve conduction studies track how fast and strong those signals travel. Together, they paint a complete picture of what’s happening in your body.

You walk out with clear answers. Your doctor gets detailed results. Your treatment plan becomes focused instead of experimental. No more throwing treatments at the wall to see what sticks.

Lemon City Nerve Testing Specialists

We've Been Solving Diagnostic Puzzles for Years

NY Spine Medicine has been serving South Florida patients who need answers about their nerve and muscle problems. We’re not just running tests and sending reports. We’re solving puzzles that other providers couldn’t crack.

Our physicians specialize in interpreting complex nerve and muscle data. We’ve seen thousands of cases and know how to spot patterns that less experienced providers miss. When your primary care doctor or specialist needs definitive answers, they send patients to us.

We’ve built our reputation on accuracy and clear communication. You don’t just get test results. You get an explanation of what those results mean for your specific situation.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we review your symptoms and medical history. This helps us focus the testing on areas most likely to provide answers. No cookie-cutter approach here.

During EMG testing, we insert thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. It sounds worse than it feels. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The needle tells us if your muscle is getting proper nerve signals.

For nerve conduction studies, we place electrodes on your skin and send small electrical pulses along nerve pathways. We measure how fast and strong the signals travel. Damaged or compressed nerves show up immediately.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

We accept most major insurance plans and provide transparent pricing for any out-of-pocket costs upfront. No surprise bills weeks later. Our staff handles insurance authorization when required, so you can focus on getting better instead of fighting paperwork.

Most patients are surprised by how manageable the discomfort is. EMG testing involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The sensation lasts only seconds per muscle tested. Nerve conduction studies use surface electrodes and small electrical pulses that create a brief tingling or tapping sensation. The electrical stimulation is not painful, though some patients find it slightly uncomfortable. The entire process is much less invasive than most people expect, and any discomfort ends immediately when testing is complete.
You get your results the same day as your testing. We interpret the findings immediately and explain what they mean for your specific situation before you leave. You’ll receive a written summary of the key findings, and we send a detailed technical report to your referring doctor within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means your treatment plan can move forward without delays. Many patients appreciate not having to wait days or weeks wondering what their test results show, especially when they’ve already been dealing with symptoms for an extended period.
Nerve and muscle testing can identify a wide range of conditions affecting your peripheral nervous system. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders like myositis, and nerve damage from injuries or compression. The testing can also rule out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy when symptoms are concerning. EMG and nerve conduction studies are particularly valuable for diagnosing the exact location and severity of nerve compression, which helps determine whether conservative treatment or surgical intervention is most appropriate for your situation.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know in advance, though you typically don’t need to stop them. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. The most important preparation is simply showing up ready to get answers about what’s been bothering you.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance plans. Our staff verifies your coverage and handles prior authorization requirements before your appointment when possible. We provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses upfront, so you know what to expect financially. If you have a high-deductible plan or limited coverage, we offer payment options to make testing affordable. The key is that your doctor has determined this testing is medically necessary to diagnose your condition and guide your treatment plan.
After testing, we review the results with you immediately and explain what the findings mean for your specific situation. You’ll understand whether nerve damage, muscle problems, or other issues are causing your symptoms. We provide specific recommendations for next steps, which might include physical therapy, medication adjustments, referrals to specialists, or discussing surgical options with your doctor. Your referring physician receives a detailed report within 24 hours, allowing them to adjust your treatment plan quickly. Many patients find that having definitive test results finally allows their healthcare team to target treatments effectively instead of guessing at solutions.
