EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes and includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. First, we’ll place small electrodes on your skin to measure how well your nerves send signals. This part feels like tiny electrical pulses – brief and tolerable.

Next, we use a thin needle electrode to test muscle activity. The needle measures electrical signals when your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. Most patients find this less uncomfortable than they expected.

Throughout the test, we’ll explain what we’re seeing and what it means. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of your diagnosis and recommended next steps. No waiting weeks to understand what’s happening with your body.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one comprehensive appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your condition, not just isolated symptoms.

Our testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and other neuromuscular conditions. We use the latest diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate readings and reliable results.

After your test, you’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus personalized treatment recommendations. If treatment is needed, we can often begin addressing your condition immediately rather than referring you elsewhere and starting over.

Most patients find EMG testing much more tolerable than they anticipated. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – brief and manageable. The needle EMG involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. You might experience some muscle soreness afterward, but this typically resolves within a day or two. We’ll guide you through each step and can pause anytime you need a break.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and various other neuromuscular conditions. The test helps us determine if your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with the connection between nerves and muscles. This precise diagnosis is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
A complete EMG test typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. You’ll receive your results immediately after the test, along with a clear explanation of what we found. We don’t make you wait days or weeks to understand your diagnosis. During the same appointment, we’ll discuss your treatment options and can often begin addressing your condition right away if treatment is indicated.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams 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 take blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically advise otherwise.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle disorders. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your benefits and any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you won’t have any surprises. We believe cost shouldn’t prevent you from getting the answers you need about your health.
If your EMG reveals a treatable condition, we’ll discuss your options immediately rather than sending you elsewhere to start over. As spine and pain management specialists, we can often begin treatment right away with options like targeted injections, physical therapy recommendations, medication management, or other appropriate interventions. Our goal is to move from diagnosis to relief as quickly as possible, using the most effective treatments for your specific condition.
