Here's What Happens During Your Test

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. We start by discussing your specific symptoms, when they occur, and what makes them better or worse. This helps us customize the testing to focus on the areas most likely causing your problems.

During the electromyography portion, we use thin electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, we apply small electrical pulses to test how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel some mild discomfort, but nothing unbearable.

We review your results immediately after testing and explain what we found. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and specific next steps for treatment. We also provide detailed reports for your referring physician or any specialists involved in your care.

Comprehensive Nerve Function Testing Westview

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation in One Visit

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction velocity studies, giving you a complete picture of your condition. We test motor nerves that control muscle movement and sensory nerves that carry feeling and sensation.

The testing covers common problem areas including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. We also evaluate nerve root compression that might stem from spinal conditions affecting your arms, hands, legs, or feet.

You’ll receive detailed documentation of all findings, including nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and our clinical interpretation. This comprehensive approach means you won’t need multiple appointments at different facilities to get the answers you need about your nerve and muscle function.

Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to getting blood drawn or receiving a small shock from static electricity. The nerve conduction portion involves brief electrical pulses that feel like quick pinches or taps. EMG testing uses thin needles that may cause some discomfort when inserted, but the sensation is temporary. The entire process is well-tolerated by most people, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed.
EMG and nerve conduction studies effectively diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve entrapment, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, nerve root compression, and various other conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. The testing can determine if your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle problems, or spinal issues affecting nerve function. We can also identify the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s progressing or stable, which helps guide treatment decisions.
We review your results with you immediately after completing the testing. You’ll understand your diagnosis and next steps before leaving our office. We also prepare detailed written reports within 24-48 hours for your records and referring physicians. This quick turnaround means you don’t have to wait weeks wondering about your condition or what the findings mean for your treatment options.
Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Most people can drive themselves to and from the appointment without any restrictions.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary EMG and nerve conduction studies when ordered by your physician to diagnose specific symptoms. We verify your coverage before your appointment and can provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Our staff handles insurance authorization requirements and works with your provider to ensure proper coverage. We also offer payment options for any portions not covered by insurance.
Once we identify the source of your symptoms, we’ll discuss treatment options that specifically address your condition. This might include referrals to specialists, recommendations for physical therapy, medication adjustments, or other interventions based on your specific diagnosis. We coordinate with your referring physician and any other healthcare providers involved in your care. Having concrete diagnostic results eliminates guesswork and allows for targeted treatment that addresses the actual cause of your symptoms rather than just managing them.
