EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG test starts with a consultation about your symptoms. We’ll ask about when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life. This helps us focus the testing on the right areas.

During the electromyography portion, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure muscle activity. For the nerve conduction study, we use mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves are working. Most patients say it feels like small static shocks – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.

The entire process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which areas we need to test. We’ll explain what we’re seeing as we go, and you’ll get your results the same day. No waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong.

Comprehensive EMG Nerve Testing

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. This combination gives us a complete picture of how your muscles and nerves are functioning. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, plus related areas that might be contributing to the problem.

We use advanced diagnostic equipment that provides precise measurements of nerve and muscle function. This isn’t guesswork – we’re measuring actual electrical activity to see exactly what’s happening in your body. The data we collect shows us whether your symptoms are coming from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or problems with the connection between them.

After your test, we sit down and explain your results in plain language. You’ll understand what we found, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options make sense based on your specific diagnosis.

EMG testing involves some discomfort, but most patients tolerate it well. During the nerve conduction study portion, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that feel like static shocks. The electromyography part uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to getting blood drawn. The discomfort is brief and stops immediately when the test is finished. We work quickly and efficiently to minimize any discomfort, and we’ll explain each step so you know what to expect. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing.
You’ll get your EMG results the same day as your test in most cases. We review the findings with you immediately after the procedure, explaining what we found and what it means for your condition. You won’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about your results. We provide a clear explanation of the findings in terms you can understand, not medical jargon. If additional follow-up testing is needed, we’ll discuss that during your results consultation. Having immediate results means you can start planning your next steps for treatment right away.
EMG testing can diagnose nerve compression conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and pinched nerves, muscle disorders including muscular dystrophy, nerve damage from diabetes or other causes, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s also valuable for ruling out serious neurological conditions when you have unexplained weakness, numbness, or tingling. The test helps differentiate between muscle problems and nerve problems, which is crucial for determining the right treatment approach. EMG testing is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that don’t show up clearly on MRI or other imaging tests.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal, but there are a few important steps. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know ahead of time, though you usually don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before the test if possible, as it can affect muscle activity. Most importantly, come with a list of your current symptoms and any questions you want to ask about your results.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The cost varies depending on your specific insurance plan, deductible, and copay requirements. We provide transparent pricing information upfront so you know what to expect. If you don’t have insurance or prefer to pay out of pocket, we offer clear pricing for our EMG testing services. Our billing team can work with you to understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.
EMG testing and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but measure different things. Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel through your nerves by using small electrical pulses on your skin surface. EMG testing measures the electrical activity within your muscles using thin needle electrodes. Together, they give us a complete picture of both nerve and muscle function. The nerve conduction study shows us if nerves are transmitting signals properly, while the EMG shows us how muscles are responding to those signals. This combination helps us pinpoint exactly where the problem is occurring in your neuromuscular system.
