EMG Testing Naranja Florida

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes it hard to grip things. Tingling in your feet that keeps you awake. Weakness that’s getting worse, not better.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing what’s causing your symptoms, you get precise measurements of how your nerves conduct signals and how your muscles respond. This isn’t about managing pain indefinitely – it’s about understanding exactly what’s happening in your body.

When you know the specific problem, you can target the right treatment. No more trial and error with medications that might help. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” Just clear diagnostic information that leads to effective treatment.

EMG NCV Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The testing process involves two main components: electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCV). During nerve conduction testing, small electrical impulses are applied to specific nerves while sensors measure how quickly and effectively the signals travel. This shows whether nerves are functioning normally or if there’s damage affecting signal transmission.

EMG testing involves inserting thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This reveals whether muscle weakness is due to nerve problems or muscle disorders. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation.

You’ll receive results the same day in most cases. We explain exactly what the tests show, what your specific condition means, and what treatment options are most likely to help. No medical jargon – just clear information about your diagnosis and next steps.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Your evaluation includes testing of both sensory and motor nerve function to identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, or pinched nerves. The testing can distinguish between different types of nerve damage and determine exactly where problems are occurring.

Muscle testing evaluates conditions like muscle weakness, cramping, or suspected muscle diseases. This is particularly important for patients experiencing weakness that could be related to nerve problems versus primary muscle disorders.

The comprehensive approach means you get a complete picture of what’s happening. If you have multiple symptoms affecting different areas, the testing can determine whether they’re related to a single condition or separate problems requiring different treatments. This prevents the common problem of treating symptoms individually when they’re actually connected to one underlying issue.

Most patients describe nerve conduction testing as feeling like small electric shocks – uncomfortable but not painful. The sensation lasts only a few seconds for each nerve tested. EMG testing involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting an injection. Some muscles may be tender for a day or two afterward, but this is normal and resolves quickly. The discomfort during testing is brief and manageable, especially considering the valuable diagnostic information you’ll receive. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during the procedure.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and various types of peripheral neuropathy. They’re also used to evaluate conditions like fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis effects on nerves, and muscle diseases. The testing can distinguish between nerve damage and muscle problems, which is crucial for proper treatment. For example, hand numbness could be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your neck, or diabetic neuropathy – and each requires different treatment approaches. The tests provide specific information about which nerves or muscles are affected and how severely.
In most cases, you’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the electrical measurements immediately after testing and can explain what we found right away. You’ll receive a detailed report that includes the specific findings and what they mean for your condition. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of nerve and muscle testing – you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about results. If additional analysis is needed for complex cases, you might wait 24-48 hours, but same-day results are standard for most patients.
Avoid using lotions or creams on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrical measurements. 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 most patients can continue their normal medications. Don’t stop taking any prescribed medications unless specifically instructed. You can eat normally before the test and drive yourself to and from the appointment. The main thing is to arrive with clean skin and clothing that won’t interfere with electrode placement.
Most major insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. The testing is considered standard diagnostic care for conditions like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before scheduling. You’ll know your expected costs upfront, including any copay or deductible amounts. The diagnostic codes used for these tests are well-established and routinely covered by insurance companies. If you have questions about your specific coverage, our office staff can check with your insurance company before your appointment.
Once you have a specific diagnosis, we’ll explain treatment options that target your particular condition. This might include medications, physical therapy, injections, or referrals to other specialists depending on what the tests reveal. Having precise diagnostic information means treatments can be much more targeted and effective. You’ll also understand what to expect – whether your condition is likely to improve with treatment, stay stable, or require ongoing management. The results often provide relief just from knowing exactly what’s wrong and that your symptoms have a clear medical explanation. Your treatment plan will be based on the specific findings rather than guesswork.
