EMG and Nerve Testing Florida

Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. Maybe you’ve had tests before that didn’t give you clear answers, or doctors who couldn’t pinpoint the exact problem.

Our nerve and muscle testing gets to the bottom of what’s happening. EMG and nerve conduction studies show us exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning – not just surface-level symptoms, but the real electrical activity that tells the whole story.

When you leave here, you’ll have concrete results. You’ll understand whether it’s nerve damage, muscle dysfunction, or something else entirely. No more guessing, no more wondering if it’s all in your head. Just clear data that leads to the right treatment plan.

Little River Nerve Testing Specialists

We've Been Solving Complex Cases

NY Spine Medicine has been helping patients in the Little River Industrial District area get accurate diagnoses for years. We focus specifically on nerve and muscle disorders – it’s not a side service, it’s what we do.

We’ve seen every type of nerve and muscle problem you can imagine. From carpal tunnel and sciatica to more complex neuropathies and muscle diseases. We know how to read the subtle signs that other providers might miss.

The testing equipment we use is the same technology you’d find at major medical centers. But you get the attention and time that comes with a focused practice.

Nerve Conduction Study Process

Here's Exactly What to Expect

The EMG portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin or inserting thin needles into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and when you contract them. It shows us if your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals.

Nerve conduction studies use surface electrodes to send small electrical pulses along your nerves. We measure how fast and strong the signals travel. Slower or weaker signals indicate nerve damage or compression.

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

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing You Need

Our nerve and muscle testing covers both upper and lower extremities. We can evaluate everything from suspected carpal tunnel syndrome in your hands to sciatica affecting your legs. The testing identifies nerve compression, muscle weakness, and electrical conduction problems.

You’ll receive a detailed report that your referring doctor can use immediately. We coordinate directly with your physician to make sure nothing gets lost in translation. If additional testing is needed, we’ll let you know right away rather than having you come back multiple times.

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when medically necessary. We handle the prior authorization process so you don’t have to navigate insurance requirements on your own.

How painful is EMG and nerve conduction testing?

The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels like getting an injection. There might be some brief discomfort when the needle goes in, but once it’s positioned, you shouldn’t feel much. The entire process is tolerable for most people, and we work at your pace. If you need breaks, we can pause the testing.

How long do nerve and muscle test results take?

You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. Right after we finish the EMG and nerve conduction studies, we’ll sit down and explain what we found. We’ll show you the actual test data and explain what it means in plain terms. A detailed report gets sent to your referring doctor within 24 hours. This way, you’re not waiting weeks to understand what’s wrong or what the next steps should be.

What conditions can EMG and nerve testing diagnose?

These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle diseases, and nerve root compression. We can also identify conditions like diabetic neuropathy, ulnar nerve entrapment, and various forms of muscular dystrophy. The testing shows us exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring, which helps determine if the problem is in the nerve itself, where the nerve connects to the muscle, or in the muscle tissue.

Do I need to prepare anything before nerve and muscle testing?

Don’t use any lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing – they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the areas being tested. If we’re testing your arms, wear a short-sleeved shirt. For leg testing, wear shorts or pants you can roll up easily. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know ahead of time, but you usually don’t need to stop them.

Will my insurance cover EMG and nerve conduction studies?

Most insurance plans cover these tests when they’re medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. We accept most major insurance plans and handle the prior authorization process for you. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment so you know what to expect for costs. If you have a high deductible plan, we’ll let you know your estimated out-of-pocket expense upfront. We also offer payment plans if needed.

What happens after I get my nerve testing results?

Once we have your results, we’ll discuss treatment options based on what we found. Sometimes the solution is physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes. Other times, you might need to see a surgeon or other specialist. We coordinate directly with your referring doctor to make sure you get the right follow-up care. If surgery is recommended, we can refer you to trusted specialists. For non-surgical treatments, we’ll help connect you with the right providers in the Little River area.
