Electromyography Nerve Conduction Testing

Finally Understand What's Causing Your Pain

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. EMG testing gives you the precise answers you need to understand exactly what’s happening in your nerves and muscles.

This isn’t guesswork. Electromyography testing measures the electrical activity in your muscles and how well your nerves are conducting signals. When something’s wrong, we can see it clearly and tell you exactly where the problem is.

EMG Testing Process Cutler

Simple Process, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation where we review your symptoms and medical history. This helps us determine exactly which nerves and muscles need to be tested.

During the nerve conduction study portion, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. Then, for the electromyography testing, we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity.

The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas need testing. You’ll get your results immediately, with our physician explaining exactly what the findings mean and what your next steps should be. No waiting weeks to understand your own test results.

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG testing at NY Spine Medicine includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give you a complete picture of your neurological function. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and spinal nerve problems. Many Cutler patients come in after months of uncertainty, finally getting the definitive answers they need.

You’ll receive detailed results that clearly show which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. Our medical team explains everything in terms you can understand, so you know exactly what’s happening and why. This isn’t just about running a test – it’s about giving you the information you need to take control of your health.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable but not severely painful. The nerve conduction study feels like small electrical pulses on your skin – similar to static electricity shocks. The electromyography portion involves thin needle electrodes in your muscles, which feels like getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The discomfort is brief and manageable for most people. The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs the temporary discomfort.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the spine, peripheral neuropathy, muscle diseases, and nerve damage from injuries. It’s particularly effective at identifying exactly where nerve compression or damage is occurring, whether the problem is in the nerve itself or the muscle. The test can also determine if symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness are coming from nerve problems, muscle disorders, or both. This precision helps your doctor develop the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.
Preparation for EMG testing is straightforward. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, as they can interfere with the electrodes. 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’re on blood thinners, let us know, but you typically won’t need to stop them. Remove any jewelry from the areas being tested. Most importantly, try to relax – the test works better when your muscles aren’t tense from anxiety.
You’ll get your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We interpret the findings in real-time and will explain what we found right after the test is complete. This means you won’t spend days or weeks wondering about your results. We’ll review the nerve conduction measurements and muscle activity patterns with you, explaining what’s normal, what’s abnormal, and what it means for your condition. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended next steps for treatment.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. The test is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before scheduling. Our staff can provide cost estimates and discuss payment options if you have concerns about coverage. Prior authorization may be required by some insurance plans, which we’ll handle for you.
EMG testing is very safe with minimal risks. The most common side effects are temporary soreness at needle insertion sites and occasional small bruises that resolve quickly. There’s a very small risk of infection at needle sites, but this is extremely rare when proper sterile techniques are used. People with bleeding disorders or those on blood thinners should inform us, but the test can usually still be performed safely. The electrical stimulation used in nerve conduction studies is completely safe and won’t cause any lasting effects. Overall, serious complications from EMG testing are exceptionally rare.
