Muscle Function Test Process Florida

Simple Testing, Clear Results

First, we’ll talk through your symptoms and medical history. What you’re feeling, when it started, what makes it better or worse. This helps us focus the testing on the right areas.

The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static electricity.

For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to check your muscle activity. It’s quick and most people tolerate it well. The whole process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing.

You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Comprehensive Nerve Muscle Evaluation Florida

Complete Diagnostic Picture

Our nerve and muscle testing covers both motor and sensory function. We check how well your nerves carry signals and how your muscles respond. This comprehensive approach catches problems that partial testing might miss.

Many Sun-Tan Village patients come to us after other tests came back “normal” but they’re still having symptoms. Our detailed electromyography can detect nerve damage or muscle dysfunction that standard imaging might not show.

We test for common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. The results help determine if you need physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery.

Most people describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small taps or mild static electricity. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes, which can cause brief discomfort similar to getting blood drawn. The entire test is tolerable for most patients, and any discomfort is temporary. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize any inconvenience. If you’re particularly sensitive, let us know beforehand so we can take extra steps to keep you comfortable during the testing process.
The complete nerve and muscle testing typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. Simple tests for conditions like carpal tunnel might take 30 minutes, while comprehensive evaluations of multiple nerve groups can take up to an hour. We’ll give you a time estimate when you schedule based on your specific symptoms. The actual testing time is usually shorter than the appointment slot because we include time for consultation and explaining results.
Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosis. We accept most major insurance plans in the Sun-Tan Village area and will verify your coverage before your appointment. We handle the prior authorization process if your plan requires it. We’ll let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check for you.
Nerve and muscle testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and various other nerve compression syndromes. It’s particularly useful for detecting diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, and determining the severity of nerve damage after injuries. The testing can also rule out serious conditions and help differentiate between similar symptoms that have different causes. This precision is crucial for developing the right treatment plan for your specific condition.
You’ll get your results immediately after the testing is complete. We review the findings with you during the same appointment, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. We’ll discuss whether your symptoms match the test findings and what treatment options make sense for your situation. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your symptoms and what the next steps should be. We also send a detailed report to your referring physician so your care team stays coordinated.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help ensure accurate results. Don’t use lotions or oils 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 when you schedule. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
