You’ve been dealing with symptoms that interfere with your daily life. Numbness in your hands makes typing difficult. Tingling in your feet disrupts your sleep. Weakness in your arms affects your work performance.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of wondering if your symptoms are serious or will get worse, you’ll know exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. This clarity eliminates the anxiety of not knowing and provides a clear path forward.
With accurate test results, your doctor can recommend the right treatment approach. Whether it’s physical therapy, medication, or other interventions, you’ll move forward with confidence knowing your treatment plan addresses the actual problem, not just the symptoms.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation typically involves two types of testing. The nerve conduction study measures how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test nerve function in specific areas.
The electromyography (EMG) portion evaluates muscle activity. A thin needle electrode is inserted into the muscle to record electrical activity both at rest and during contraction. This shows whether muscle problems stem from the muscle itself or from nerve damage affecting the muscle.
Both tests are completed in the same appointment, usually within 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll receive results immediately, with a detailed explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. Your physician will discuss next steps and coordinate with your referring doctor to ensure you get appropriate follow-up care.
