EMG Testing Process Bensonhurst

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG test starts with a brief consultation about your symptoms and medical history. Our technician explains exactly what will happen and answers any questions you have about the procedure.

During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record electrical activity.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a full report available within 24-48 hours that includes specific recommendations for next steps.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses on your skin. The needle EMG portion involves inserting thin electrodes into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many nerves and muscles need evaluation. Most people return to normal activities immediately after testing with no restrictions or recovery time needed.
EMG and nerve conduction studies can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, sciatica, muscle disorders, and other neurological conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The test shows exactly where nerve damage exists and how severe it is. This information helps doctors determine whether you need surgery, physical therapy, medication, or other treatments to address your specific condition.
Most major insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary.

Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes placed on your skin. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to record electrical activity. Most comprehensive evaluations include both tests because they provide different information about nerve and muscle function. Together, they give a complete picture of where neurological problems exist and help determine the best treatment approach for your specific condition.
