Nerve Function Testing Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your nerve and muscle evaluation 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 life. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing problems.

During the electromyography portion, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we use mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to static shock – brief and tolerable.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, and we’ll schedule a follow-up to review detailed findings and discuss your treatment options. Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of what’s causing your symptoms and what we can do about it.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing in One Visit

Our nerve and muscle testing covers all the areas where you’re experiencing symptoms. We can test nerve function in your arms, hands, legs, and feet during the same appointment. This comprehensive approach saves you time and gives us a complete picture of what’s happening.

We test for common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders. Our equipment can detect even subtle changes in nerve function that might be missed with less sophisticated testing methods.

You’ll receive a detailed report that includes specific measurements, comparisons to normal values, and clear explanations of what the results mean for your condition. This report helps coordinate care with your other doctors and ensures everyone understands your diagnosis. We accept most insurance plans and provide transparent pricing for any out-of-pocket costs.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. During nerve conduction studies, you’ll feel brief electrical pulses that are similar to static shock. The EMG portion involves inserting thin needles into muscles, which feels like getting a shot or acupuncture. The discomfort is temporary and stops as soon as each test is complete. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing. Our physician reviews the findings with you before you leave, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. Detailed written reports are typically ready within 24-48 hours and sent to you and your referring doctor. If we find something that needs immediate attention, we’ll contact you right away. This quick turnaround means you can start appropriate treatment sooner rather than waiting weeks for answers.
Our testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve entrapment syndromes. We can also determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. The testing helps distinguish between different conditions that can cause similar symptoms, ensuring you get the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Preparation is minimal but important for accurate results. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed 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 symptoms.
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. Our staff will explain any copays or deductibles you might be responsible for. If you don’t have insurance or have a high deductible plan, we offer transparent pricing and payment options. The cost of testing is typically much less than ongoing treatment for an undiagnosed condition, making it a worthwhile investment in your health.
Once we have your results, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss findings in detail and review treatment options. If we find a condition that needs immediate treatment, we can often start that process right away. For conditions requiring specialized care, we’ll refer you to the appropriate specialist with your complete test results. We also coordinate with your primary care doctor or referring physician to ensure everyone involved in your care understands your diagnosis. Our goal is to make sure you have a clear path forward for treating your condition.
