Muscle and Nerve Evaluation Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The EMG portion tests your muscle function using thin electrodes that detect electrical activity. The nerve conduction study measures how well signals travel through your nerves using small electrical pulses. Most patients find the testing mildly uncomfortable but not painful.

Results are available immediately. We’ll explain what the tests show, what it means for your condition, and discuss treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps, not more questions.

Comprehensive Nerve Diagnostic Testing

Complete Evaluation of Your Symptoms

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates multiple aspects of your neurological function. We test nerve conduction velocity to identify areas where signals are blocked or slowed. We measure muscle response to detect weakness or abnormal electrical activity.

This comprehensive approach helps us diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and spinal nerve compression. We can differentiate between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for proper treatment.

The testing is tailored to your specific symptoms. If you have hand numbness, we focus on the nerves that control hand function. If you have leg weakness, we evaluate the nerves and muscles in your lower extremities. You get targeted answers for your particular situation.

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take 45 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas we’re evaluating. The actual testing time is usually 20-30 minutes, with additional time for discussing your symptoms beforehand and reviewing results afterward. We don’t rush through the process because accurate testing requires careful attention to detail. You’ll get your results the same day, so you won’t have to wait weeks wondering what the tests showed. We schedule appointments with enough time to answer all your questions about the findings.
The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief static shocks. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable but not painful. The EMG uses thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but the discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as the electrode is removed. We explain each step as we go and work at a pace that’s comfortable for you. The brief discomfort is worth it for the clear answers you’ll get about your symptoms.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves in the spine, muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. We can identify where nerve compression is occurring and how severe it is. The testing also helps rule out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy when patients are worried about progressive weakness. We can differentiate between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is important because they require different treatments. The objective results give you and your doctor clear information for making treatment decisions.
There’s minimal preparation needed for nerve and muscle testing. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If we’re testing your arms, wear a short-sleeved shirt or something with loose sleeves. Stop taking muscle relaxants 24 hours before testing if possible, as they can affect results. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and don’t need to avoid caffeine.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The testing is considered diagnostic, not elective, so coverage is typically good. We’ll provide you with a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have a high-deductible plan, we can discuss payment options. Our billing team works with insurance companies regularly and knows how to get these tests approved when they’re needed for proper diagnosis.
You’ll get your nerve and muscle testing results immediately after the test is completed. We review the findings with you during your appointment, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. You’ll receive a written report to take with you, and we’ll send copies to your referring physician the same day. There’s no waiting period or follow-up appointment needed just to get results. If additional testing is recommended based on the findings, we’ll discuss that during your visit. You’ll leave knowing exactly what the tests showed and what the next steps should be.
