EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes and involves two parts. First, we perform nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin and sending mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals.

Next, during the electromyography portion, we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This sounds more uncomfortable than it actually is—most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

You’ll get your results immediately. Our specialist will explain exactly what the test shows, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options will work best. You leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps, not more questions.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG testing evaluates both nerve function and muscle response to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and muscle disorders. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s affecting your symptoms.

The testing works particularly well for industrial workers in the Allapattah area who develop repetitive strain injuries or experience workplace-related nerve compression. We also frequently diagnose diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves from herniated discs, and other conditions that cause chronic pain or weakness.

You receive a detailed report that your primary care doctor or specialist can use to develop your treatment plan. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and we handle the authorization process for you.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t as painful as most people expect. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses—similar to static electricity shocks. The needle EMG portion involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels like getting multiple small injections. Most patients tolerate it well and say the anxiety beforehand was worse than the actual test. The entire process takes 45-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities right away.
EMG testing diagnoses a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy (often from diabetes), radiculopathy from pinched nerves, muscle diseases like myopathy, and nerve injuries from trauma or compression. The test can also identify the location and severity of nerve damage, helping determine if symptoms are coming from your spine, peripheral nerves, or muscles themselves. This precision helps your doctor choose the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. This includes Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. We verify your coverage before your appointment and handle prior authorization requirements when needed. The key is having symptoms that warrant testing—like unexplained numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or nerve pain that hasn’t responded to initial treatment. We’ll work with your insurance company to ensure coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront so there are no surprises.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal but important. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let us know beforehand but don’t stop them unless your doctor advises it. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. The test works best when you’re relaxed, so try not to stress about it.
You get your EMG results immediately after testing. Our specialist reviews the findings with you during your appointment, explaining what the test shows and what it means for your condition. You’ll understand your diagnosis before you leave, along with recommended next steps for treatment. We also provide a detailed written report that gets sent to your referring doctor within 24-48 hours. This immediate feedback is one of the biggest advantages of EMG testing—no waiting weeks for results or wondering what’s wrong. You get answers the same day so you can start addressing your symptoms right away.
EMG testing provides crucial information about whether surgery might help your condition, but it’s one piece of the diagnostic puzzle. The test shows the severity and location of nerve damage, which helps determine if conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications might work, or if surgical intervention is necessary. For conditions like severe carpal tunnel syndrome or significant nerve compression, EMG results often support the need for surgery. However, the decision involves your symptoms, physical examination findings, imaging studies, and how you’ve responded to other treatments. Your EMG results give your surgeon objective data to make the best recommendation for your specific situation.
