EMG Testing Process East Grove

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The EMG test happens in two parts. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves carry signals. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks – uncomfortable but not painful. This part takes about 15-20 minutes.

Next is the electromyography portion, where thin needles are inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needles are much thinner than blood draw needles, and most patients tolerate this well. We test different muscles based on your symptoms.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, with a detailed report sent to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. No waiting weeks to find out what the test showed.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t considered painful by most patients. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief, mild electrical shocks – similar to static electricity but slightly stronger. The needle EMG portion involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels like a quick pinch followed by mild pressure. Most patients say it’s less uncomfortable than they expected. The entire test takes 30-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Some patients experience minor soreness at needle sites for a day or two, but this is normal and resolves quickly.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. It’s particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness are coming from nerve problems, muscle disorders, or spinal compression. The test can also assess the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s getting better or worse over time. This information is crucial for your doctor to develop an effective treatment plan rather than guessing at what might be wrong.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your EMG test. We’ll explain what we found and what it means for your condition right away. A detailed written report is typically sent to your referring physician within 24-48 hours. This report includes specific findings, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. Your referring doctor will then schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the complete results and next steps for treatment. Having immediate preliminary results means you won’t leave wondering what the test showed or whether anything serious was found.
EMG testing requires minimal preparation, but there are a few important things to know. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with the electrical readings. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know when scheduling as special precautions may be needed. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The test typically takes 30-60 minutes, so plan accordingly for your schedule.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. This includes Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance plans. Our billing team handles prior authorizations when required and will verify your coverage before the appointment. We’ll also provide cost estimates for any out-of-pocket expenses. EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, so coverage is typically straightforward. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call our office with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits before scheduling.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are often done together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes and mild electrical pulses. EMG uses thin needles inserted into muscles to measure the electrical activity of muscle fibers. Nerve conduction studies detect problems with nerve function, while EMG detects problems with muscles and the connection between nerves and muscles. Together, they provide a complete picture of your nerve and muscle health, helping doctors pinpoint exactly where problems are occurring and how severe they are.
