Nerve Conduction Study Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The process is straightforward. First, we place small electrodes on your skin over the nerves and muscles we need to test. For nerve conduction studies, we send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals travel.

For EMG testing, we use a thin needle electrode to record the electrical activity in your muscles. Yes, there’s mild discomfort, but most patients tolerate it easily. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing.

You’ll get your results the same day. We’ll explain exactly what the findings mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing

Everything You Need in One Visit

Our testing covers both sensory and motor nerve function, plus muscle response patterns. We can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and spinal nerve compression.

The equipment we use meets the highest medical standards for accuracy. You’re not getting outdated technology or rushed testing. Each study is performed thoroughly to ensure we capture all the information needed for an accurate diagnosis.

Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. We handle the authorization process and work directly with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small static shocks – uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. There’s brief discomfort when the needle is inserted, but once it’s in place, you’ll mainly feel slight pressure. The entire test is tolerable for the vast majority of patients, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed.
These tests can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders like myopathy, nerve damage from diabetes, and various other neurological conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve signals are blocked or slowed, and whether muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation. This helps differentiate between nerve problems and muscle problems, which require completely different treatment approaches.
You’ll get your results the same day. The testing itself takes 30-60 minutes, and we review the findings with you immediately afterward. We’ll explain what the measurements mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what the next steps should be. You’ll also receive a detailed written report that you can share with your referring physician or other specialists. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the findings mean.
Keep your skin clean and avoid using lotions or oils on the areas being tested, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the body parts we need to examine. If you’re testing arm nerves, wear a short-sleeved shirt. For leg testing, wear shorts or pants that can be easily rolled up. Don’t stop taking any medications unless specifically instructed. Let us know if you take blood thinners, as this may affect the EMG portion of the test.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover these tests when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your coverage beforehand and handle the prior authorization process if your plan requires it. The tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures, not experimental treatments, so coverage is typically straightforward. We’ll let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs before we begin testing, so there are no surprises.
Once we identify the problem, we’ll discuss your treatment options based on the specific findings. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referral to a surgeon if needed. We coordinate with your referring physician and can help connect you with appropriate specialists in the Miami Beach area. The detailed test results give other doctors the exact information they need to create an effective treatment plan rather than guessing at what might work.
