EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Know Exactly What You're Dealing With

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. Maybe your primary care doctor suspects nerve damage, or previous treatments haven’t worked because no one knows what’s actually wrong.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure how well your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more guessing. No more treating symptoms without understanding the cause.

When you know exactly what’s happening in your body, your doctor can create a treatment plan that actually works. You’ll understand whether you’re dealing with nerve compression, muscle disorders, or something else entirely. That clarity changes everything about how you move forward.

Rainbow Village residents trust us because we deliver clear, actionable results that help their doctors create treatment plans that actually address the problem, not just the symptoms.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what previous treatments you’ve tried. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

During the EMG portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us how well your muscles respond to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals.

Most patients complete both tests in about 45 minutes. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We coordinate directly with your referring physician to ensure your treatment plan addresses the specific issues we’ve identified.

Everything You Need in One Visit

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by experienced technicians under physician supervision. We test multiple nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening.

You’ll receive detailed results that clearly explain nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any abnormalities we detect. We don’t just hand you numbers – we explain what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Many Rainbow Village patients appreciate that we accept most major insurance plans and provide transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. Just straightforward diagnostic testing that gives you and your doctor the information needed to move forward with confidence.

Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable rather than painful. During the nerve conduction study, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitches – similar to static electricity but slightly stronger. The EMG involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels like small pinpricks. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when testing ends. Many patients say it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected, and the relief of getting clear answers about their condition makes it worthwhile.
You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the data immediately after your test is complete and explain the findings to you before you leave. We provide a detailed written report that goes to your referring doctor within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering what’s wrong – you’ll have answers right away and can start discussing treatment options with your doctor immediately.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries or medical conditions. The testing shows us exactly where nerve signals are being blocked or slowed down, and whether muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation. This helps distinguish between nerve problems, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between them – information that’s crucial for choosing the right treatment approach.
Most insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician or specialist for EMG and nerve conduction studies. Your doctor will typically order these tests when you have symptoms like persistent numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain that might indicate nerve or muscle problems. If you’re not sure whether you need a referral, call our office with your insurance information and we’ll verify your coverage requirements before scheduling your appointment.
In most cases, you can continue taking your regular medications before nerve and muscle testing. However, certain muscle relaxants or anti-seizure medications might affect test results, so we’ll review your medication list when you schedule your appointment. Don’t stop taking any prescribed medications without checking with the doctor who prescribed them first. We’ll give you specific instructions based on what medications you’re taking and ensure the testing provides accurate results while keeping you safe and comfortable.
After testing, you might have minor soreness at electrode sites for a day or two, similar to minor muscle soreness after exercise. You can return to normal activities immediately – there are no restrictions after EMG or nerve conduction studies. The most important thing that happens after testing is getting your treatment plan. Your referring doctor will use our detailed results to determine whether you need physical therapy, medication, injections, surgery, or other treatments based on exactly what we found during your evaluation.
