Nerve Function Test Process

Simple, Straightforward Testing Process

Our testing process starts with a consultation where you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. This helps us determine which specific tests will provide the most useful information for your situation.

During nerve conduction studies, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. For electromyography testing, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting blood drawn.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll receive clear explanations throughout the testing, and results are usually available immediately. Your specialist will review findings with you in plain language, explaining what the results mean for your specific condition and discussing next steps for treatment.

Comprehensive Muscle and Nerve Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Services

Our testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies tailored to your specific symptoms. EMG testing evaluates muscle electrical activity to detect muscle disorders, while nerve conduction studies measure how well your nerves transmit electrical signals.

Testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Our comprehensive evaluation covers both sensory and motor nerve function to provide a complete picture of your neurological health.

You’ll receive detailed results that your referring physician can use to develop an effective treatment plan. Our testing is designed to be as comfortable as possible while providing the precise diagnostic information needed to address your symptoms effectively.

Most patients find the testing much more comfortable than they expected. Nerve conduction studies involve small electrical pulses that feel like brief taps or mild static shocks. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes that most people compare to getting blood drawn or acupuncture. The sensations are temporary and stop immediately when testing is complete. The entire process is designed to gather necessary diagnostic information while minimizing any discomfort. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort during testing.
Testing typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation and your specific symptoms. Simple nerve conduction studies for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome may take 20-30 minutes, while comprehensive testing of multiple areas can take up to an hour. We’ll explain the expected timeframe during your consultation based on your individual needs. Most of the time is spent positioning electrodes and taking measurements – the actual testing periods are brief. You’ll also have time to discuss results immediately after testing is complete.
These tests can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and radiculopathy. The testing can also help determine the severity of nerve damage and whether problems are getting better or worse over time. EMG testing specifically evaluates muscle function and can detect conditions affecting the muscles themselves or the nerves that control them. Our comprehensive evaluation provides detailed information about both sensory nerves that control feeling and motor nerves that control movement.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Avoid using 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. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know in advance, though you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and continue most medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Our staff will provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment.
Most major insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by your physician. This includes Medicare and most private insurance plans. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for evaluating neurological symptoms. We work with most insurance providers and can verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff will check your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, call our office with your insurance information and we’ll help determine your specific benefits for these services.
Results are typically available immediately after testing is complete. We’ll review your results with you during the same appointment, explaining what the findings mean in terms you can understand. You’ll receive a detailed written report that will also be sent to your referring physician, usually within 24-48 hours. This allows your doctor to review the results and discuss treatment options with you quickly. If additional consultation is needed based on the results, that can often be scheduled right away. Our goal is to get you answers and moving toward treatment as quickly as possible rather than waiting weeks for results.
