Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with us understanding your symptoms and medical history. We need to know exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started. This helps us focus the testing on the right areas.

During the EMG portion, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical impulses to test how fast your nerves transmit signals. Most people find it less uncomfortable than they expected.

You’ll get your results the same day. We’ll show you exactly what the tests revealed and explain what it means for your treatment options. No waiting weeks for answers or trying to decode medical jargon on your own.

Muscle Function Testing

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

Our testing covers both nerve conduction and muscle function because many conditions affect both systems. We can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders that other tests might miss.

The equipment we use is the same technology you’d find at major medical centers, but you don’t have to deal with the hassle of a hospital setting. Everything happens right here in South Grove, usually within an hour of your appointment time.

We work with most insurance plans, and our staff handles the authorization process so you don’t have to fight with insurance companies. You focus on getting better. We handle the paperwork.

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to getting blood drawn or receiving a vaccination. The nerve conduction portion involves small electrical impulses that feel like brief tingling or mild shock sensations. The EMG uses thin needles, but they’re much smaller than typical injection needles. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. Many patients are surprised that it’s less uncomfortable than they anticipated.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, herniated disc nerve compression, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves throughout the body. The tests can also help determine if weakness is caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your symptoms.
You’ll receive your results during the same appointment, usually within minutes of completing the testing. We review the data immediately and explain what the findings mean for your specific condition. We’ll show you the actual test results on screen and discuss treatment options right then and there. There’s no waiting days or weeks for a follow-up appointment to learn what’s wrong. You’ll leave our office with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We work with Medicare, most major insurance carriers, and many employer-sponsored health plans. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment and handle any required prior authorizations. We’ll also provide you with an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs upfront, so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, call us before your appointment and we’ll check your specific benefits.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use 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 us know in advance, but don’t stop taking them unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Bring a list of all your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Once we have your results, we’ll discuss all available treatment options based on your specific diagnosis. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to other specialists if needed. We’ll also provide you with a detailed report that you can share with your primary care doctor or other healthcare providers. Many patients find that having a clear diagnosis helps them make informed decisions about their treatment and gives them confidence that they’re addressing the real problem, not just masking symptoms.
