Nerve and Muscle Testing Process

Simple Process, Clear Results

First, you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history with us. This helps determine which specific tests will give the most useful information for your situation.

During EMG testing, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses check how well signals travel through your nerves. Both tests are performed right in our office.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes. You’ll get a clear explanation of the results and what they mean for your treatment options. No medical jargon or confusing reports.

Comprehensive Neurological Evaluation

Complete Diagnostic Testing Available

Our testing covers both nerve function and muscle response. Electromyography (EMG) evaluates muscle electrical activity to detect muscle disorders or nerve problems affecting muscles. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves.

These tests can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and spinal nerve compression. Our equipment is state-of-the-art and calibrated for accuracy.

Ward Hill patients appreciate our thorough approach. Instead of multiple appointments at different locations, you get comprehensive evaluation in one visit. Results guide your treatment plan from day one.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. EMG testing involves small needle electrodes that feel like brief pinpricks. Nerve conduction studies use electrical pulses that create a tingling sensation. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients say it’s much less uncomfortable than they expected. The entire process is designed to gather accurate information while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

How long do the test results take?

Results are available immediately after testing. We review findings with you right away, explaining what the tests show and what it means for your condition. You’ll leave the appointment knowing exactly what’s causing your symptoms and what treatment options are available. There’s no waiting days or weeks for results. This immediate feedback helps you start appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary nerve and muscle testing when ordered by a physician. We verify your coverage before scheduling and provide cost estimates upfront. Pre-authorization is handled when required by your insurance plan. You’ll know your expected costs before the appointment. Our billing team works with patients to address any coverage questions or payment concerns.

What conditions can these tests diagnose?

Nerve and muscle testing can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from diabetes or other conditions. The tests show exactly where nerve problems are located and how severe they are. This precision helps distinguish between different conditions that might cause similar symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning.

Should I stop taking medications before testing?

Most medications don’t need to be stopped before nerve and muscle testing. However, certain muscle relaxants or blood thinners might affect results or safety. We provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment. Always follow the preparation guidelines given by your healthcare provider. If you have questions about your medications, call before your appointment to confirm whether any adjustments are needed.

What should I expect after the testing?

After testing, you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience mild soreness at electrode sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You’ll have a clear understanding of your diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will coordinate with your referring physician or discuss next steps for treatment. Many patients feel relieved to finally have definitive answers about their symptoms and a clear path forward.
