Finally Know What's Wrong With Your Nerves

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for months. Maybe your fingers go numb at night, or your leg feels weak when you walk. Your regular doctor says “let’s wait and see,” but you need answers now.

Nerve and muscle diagnostic testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we can see exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Not guessing. Not assuming. Actually measuring the electrical activity in your body.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can stop wasting time on treatments that don’t work. You can focus on what will actually help. And you can stop wondering if something serious is happening that nobody’s catching.

We Actually Know How to Read These Tests

We’ve been helping North Central Florida patients get accurate nerve and muscle testing for years. We’re not a general practice trying to figure out neurological problems on the side.

Our physicians specialize in spine medicine and understand exactly what these diagnostic tests reveal about your condition. We’ve seen thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies, so we know the difference between normal variations and real problems.

Most importantly, we explain your results in plain English. You’ll understand what’s happening in your body and why you’re experiencing the symptoms you have.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your problems started, what makes them better or worse, and what treatments you’ve already tried.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. It feels like small static shocks – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us if your muscles are getting proper signals from your nerves and how well they’re responding.

The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to test. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment options.

Complete Diagnostic Testing for Real Answers

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity testing. This combination gives us a complete picture of how your nervous system is functioning.

We test the specific nerves and muscles related to your symptoms. If you have hand numbness, we focus on the nerves that control sensation and movement in your hands and arms. If you have leg weakness, we examine the nerves running from your spine to your legs.

You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your test results and how they relate to your symptoms. We also provide specific recommendations for treatment based on what we find. This isn’t just testing for the sake of testing – it’s diagnostic work that leads to better treatment outcomes.

The nerve conduction study feels like small static electricity shocks. Most people describe it as surprising rather than painful. The EMG uses thin needles that cause brief discomfort when inserted, similar to getting blood drawn. The actual testing isn’t painful, though you might feel some muscle soreness afterward. The discomfort is temporary and most patients say the relief of finally getting answers makes it worthwhile. We work at your pace and can take breaks if you need them.
You get your results immediately after testing. We review the findings with you the same day and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. You’ll leave knowing whether your nerves are functioning normally, where any problems are located, and how severe they are. We also provide a written report that you can share with other doctors. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the tests showed.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, and many other conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The testing shows us exactly where nerve problems are occurring and how severe they are. This helps distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms. For example, we can tell if your hand numbness is from carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your neck, or peripheral neuropathy.
Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow 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 on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your nerve problems.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. These tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures, not experimental treatments. If you have a referral from your doctor, insurance approval is usually straightforward. We’ll handle the prior authorization process if your plan requires it and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront.
We discuss your treatment options based on what the testing reveals. If you have a treatable condition like carpal tunnel syndrome, we’ll explain both surgical and non-surgical options. For conditions like peripheral neuropathy, we focus on managing symptoms and preventing progression. We coordinate with your other doctors and can refer you to specialists if needed. The goal is turning your test results into an effective treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause of your symptoms.
