Nerve Function Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a consultation about your specific symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your life.

The electromyography portion involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure muscle electrical activity. It’s not painful – most patients describe it as mild tingling. The nerve conduction study uses gentle electrical impulses to test how fast and strong your nerve signals are.

Both tests typically take 30-45 minutes total. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, and we’ll schedule a follow-up to review detailed findings and discuss your treatment options. No waiting weeks to understand what’s happening with your body.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your condition.

Our Richmond Heights facility uses advanced diagnostic equipment that provides precise measurements of nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity. This comprehensive approach catches issues that single-test methods might miss.

You’ll receive detailed results interpretation from our specialists, not just raw data. We explain what the findings mean for your specific situation and how they guide your treatment plan. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic procedures when medically necessary.

Most patients find nerve and muscle testing uncomfortable but not truly painful. The EMG portion involves small needle electrodes that feel like brief pinpricks. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical impulses that create a tingling sensation. The entire process takes 30-45 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort during testing.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your nerve and muscle testing is complete. We can see the basic findings right away and give you initial feedback about what the tests show. We typically schedule a detailed results consultation within a few days to thoroughly review all findings and discuss treatment recommendations. This quick turnaround means you won’t spend weeks wondering about your condition.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, muscle disorders, and various peripheral neuropathies. The tests measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, which reveals specific patterns associated with different conditions. This precise diagnostic information helps determine whether your symptoms stem from nerve compression, muscle problems, or systemic conditions affecting nerve function.
Preparation for nerve and muscle testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Come hydrated and try to stay warm, as cold skin can affect nerve conduction readings.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before scheduling. The tests are considered standard diagnostic procedures for evaluating numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain conditions. Our billing team handles prior authorization requirements and can provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses before your appointment.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are highly accurate diagnostic tools when performed by experienced specialists using proper equipment. These tests can detect nerve damage, muscle disorders, and compression syndromes with excellent precision. However, they measure function at the time of testing, so some intermittent conditions might not show abnormalities during the exam. We combine test results with your clinical symptoms and physical examination findings to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
