Nerve Function Test Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

Your testing appointment starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode records the electrical activity in your muscles. Most patients find the process much less uncomfortable than they expected.

The entire testing session typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We’ll also coordinate with your referring physician to ensure you get the appropriate follow-up care based on your specific diagnosis.

Our equipment can detect even subtle abnormalities that might be missed with less sophisticated testing.

Most nerve and muscle testing appointments take between 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. The nerve conduction study portion usually takes 15-30 minutes, while the EMG testing can take another 15-45 minutes. We’ll give you a more specific time estimate when you schedule based on your particular symptoms and the areas your doctor wants us to examine. You can plan to be here for about an hour total, including consultation time before and after the testing.
The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief, mild shocks – similar to static electricity. Most patients describe it as surprising rather than painful. The EMG portion uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels like getting a shot or acupuncture. You might feel some discomfort, but it’s typically much less than patients expect. The needles are very thin and we only insert them as needed to get accurate readings. Any discomfort stops immediately when the test is finished.
Our testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve damage from diabetes, and various other neurological conditions. We can identify whether your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle disease, or problems with nerve signal transmission. The testing is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that cause numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain in your arms, legs, hands, or feet.
There’s minimal preparation needed for most patients. Avoid using lotions or oils 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 thinners, let us know when you schedule – you may need to stop them temporarily before the EMG portion. Don’t stop any medications without checking with your doctor first. You can eat normally and continue most of your regular activities before the test.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing is complete. We’ll explain what we found and what it means for your condition right then and there. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about the results. We’ll also send a detailed report to your referring physician the same day, so they can discuss treatment options with you at your follow-up appointment. If we find something that needs immediate attention, we’ll make sure you and your doctor know right away.
Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team will check your benefits and let you know about any copays or deductibles you might be responsible for. If you have questions about coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your specific benefits. We want to make sure there are no surprises when it comes to the cost of your testing.
