EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

Your EMG test starts with a consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and what you’ve already tried. We explain exactly what we’re looking for and why certain tests will give you the clearest picture.

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes placed on your skin measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like mild static electricity and takes about 20-30 minutes.

Next is the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. You’ll feel a brief pinch, similar to getting blood drawn. The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes, and you’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing.

Comprehensive EMG Nerve Testing

Everything Included In Your Diagnostic Workup

Your EMG testing appointment includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing using the latest diagnostic equipment. You’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation that tests multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to identify exactly where problems exist.

The testing covers common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and the areas where you’re experiencing problems.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your results, a written report for your records, and a specific treatment plan. We coordinate directly with your referring physician to ensure seamless follow-up care and treatment implementation.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t typically described as painful by most patients. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild static electricity or small shocks. The needle EMG feels similar to getting an injection or blood draw—a brief pinch when the needle goes in, then minimal sensation. Most patients tolerate the test well and say the discomfort is much less than they expected. The entire process takes 45-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle weakness disorders, and various forms of nerve entrapment. The test can differentiate between nerve damage, muscle problems, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly effective at pinpointing exactly where nerve damage occurs and how severe the problem is, which directly impacts your treatment options.
You’ll receive preliminary results immediately after your EMG testing is complete. We’ll explain what we found during the test and what it means for your condition. A comprehensive written report is typically available within 24-48 hours and sent directly to your referring physician. This quick turnaround means you can start appropriate treatment right away instead of waiting weeks for results like you might with other diagnostic tests.
Most medications don’t need to be stopped before EMG testing, but there are some exceptions. Blood thinners like warfarin or Plavix may need to be temporarily discontinued, but only under your doctor’s supervision. Muscle relaxants can sometimes affect test results, so discuss these with your physician beforehand. Never stop prescribed medications without consulting your doctor first. During your appointment scheduling, you’ll receive specific instructions based on your current medications and medical history.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, 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. You’ll know your expected out-of-pocket costs upfront, with no surprise bills later. If you have questions about coverage or need help understanding your benefits, our billing team can explain your specific situation and payment options before you schedule testing.
EMG testing can determine the extent and severity of nerve damage, which helps predict recovery potential. The test shows whether nerves are completely severed, partially damaged, or just compressed or irritated. Mild nerve compression often recovers completely with proper treatment, while severe damage may result in permanent changes. However, even in cases of permanent damage, EMG results help guide treatments that can significantly improve function and reduce symptoms. The key is getting accurate testing to understand exactly what you’re dealing with.
