Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’re experiencing and when it started to target our testing effectively.

The EMG portion measures electrical activity in your muscles using thin needle electrodes. It sounds uncomfortable, but most patients find it much more tolerable than expected. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

Both tests happen during the same appointment and typically take 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Assessment

Your testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies to evaluate different aspects of nerve and muscle function. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, not just standard locations.

Our equipment measures nerve conduction speed, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity that reveals problems other tests might miss. We can detect early nerve damage, muscle disorders, and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy.

You’ll receive detailed results documentation that your other doctors can use for treatment planning. We coordinate with your referring physician to ensure everyone understands the findings and next steps. No gaps in communication or lost test results.

Most patients are surprised that nerve and muscle testing is much more comfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks but controlled and brief. The EMG uses very thin needles that cause minimal discomfort, comparable to acupuncture. We explain each step as we go and can adjust our approach if you’re particularly sensitive. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, and various spine-related nerve problems. The tests can also rule out serious conditions, which is often just as valuable as finding a specific diagnosis. We can detect early nerve damage before it becomes severe and identify whether your symptoms are coming from nerve problems, muscle issues, or both. This precision helps your doctors choose the most effective treatment approach.
You get your results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you right away, explaining what we discovered and what it means in terms you can understand. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your symptoms and what the next steps should be. We also provide detailed written results that day and send copies to your referring physician within 24 hours. No waiting weeks for answers or playing phone tag to understand your results.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary, which it typically is if you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or suspected nerve damage. We verify your coverage before scheduling and can provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Our billing team works with insurance companies to ensure proper authorization when required. We also offer transparent pricing for patients paying directly. The key is getting the right diagnosis – the cost of ongoing symptoms and ineffective treatments usually far exceeds the testing investment.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know in advance but don’t stop taking them unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. Most importantly, come with questions – we want you to understand everything we’re doing and why.
Once we identify what’s causing your symptoms, we coordinate with your referring physician to develop a targeted treatment plan. Depending on what we find, treatment might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other specific interventions. Some conditions require monitoring over time, while others need immediate treatment. We make sure you understand your options and what to expect from different approaches. Our goal is getting you from accurate diagnosis to effective treatment as quickly as possible, with clear communication every step of the way.
