EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The EMG test combines two procedures: electromyography and nerve conduction studies. Both are performed during the same visit to give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.

First, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure nerve conduction speed and strength. Then, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record electrical activity. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need testing.

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We review findings with you right away, explaining what the data means for your specific situation and discussing treatment options. Most patients appreciate getting answers the same day rather than waiting weeks for results.

Comprehensive EMG NCV Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Assessment

Our testing evaluates multiple aspects of nerve and muscle function to ensure nothing is missed. This includes checking nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and identifying areas of nerve damage or compression.

Common conditions diagnosed through EMG testing include carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and spinal nerve compression. The test can also determine if symptoms are related to nerve damage, muscle problems, or both.

Each test is customized based on your specific symptoms and medical history. We select which nerves and muscles to test, ensuring the most relevant areas are thoroughly evaluated for your particular situation.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but is generally well-tolerated by most patients. 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 an injection. Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable but not painful. The entire test usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. You can return to normal activities right after testing.
You receive your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We review the findings with you during the same visit, explaining what the data means and discussing next steps. This same-day approach eliminates the anxiety of waiting weeks for results. You’ll leave the appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended treatment plan. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, these recommendations are provided during your results consultation.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the spine, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve compression syndromes. The test helps determine if symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. It can also assess the severity of nerve damage and track improvement over time with treatment. The comprehensive nature of EMG testing makes it valuable for diagnosing conditions that other tests might miss.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils 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’re taking blood-thinning medications, inform our office beforehand, though most medications don’t need to be stopped. You can eat normally before the test and continue your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The test doesn’t require fasting or special dietary restrictions.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing nerve or muscle conditions. Our office staff verifies insurance coverage before your appointment and provides cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. Pre-authorization may be required by some insurance plans, which we handle on your behalf. If you have questions about coverage or costs, our billing team can review your specific plan benefits and explain what to expect. Payment plans may be available for any uncovered portions.
EMG testing provides crucial information that helps determine if surgery might be beneficial for your condition. The test measures the severity of nerve damage and muscle function, which are key factors in surgical decision-making. For conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or pinched nerves, EMG results help distinguish between mild cases that may respond to conservative treatment and severe cases that might require surgical intervention. However, EMG results are just one part of the overall evaluation. We consider test results along with your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging studies to make comprehensive treatment recommendations.
