EMG Testing Process

Simple, Straightforward Testing

The EMG test combines two parts: nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography. First, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well your nerves transmit electrical signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses, similar to static electricity.

Next, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients find the discomfort minimal and brief.

Throughout the entire process, which typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, our physician explains what’s happening and what the results indicate. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of findings before you leave, along with recommendations for next steps based on your specific results.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Neuromuscular Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular health. This comprehensive approach can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.

We perform the testing using state-of-the-art equipment with physicians trained specifically in electrodiagnostic medicine. You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, written reports for your referring physician, and clear explanations of what the findings mean for your treatment options.

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and our office handles prior authorization requirements. The entire process is designed to be as convenient and informative as possible, giving you the diagnostic clarity you need to address your symptoms effectively.

Most patients find EMG testing much more tolerable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion involves mild electrical pulses that feel like static electricity or small rubber band snaps. The needle portion uses very thin electrodes, thinner than blood draw needles, inserted briefly into muscles. While you’ll feel the needle insertion, the discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived. The entire test takes 30-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward. Many patients say their anxiety about the test was worse than the actual experience.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle weakness disorders, and various forms of nerve entrapment. The test can also help determine if symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. It’s particularly useful for pinpointing the exact location and severity of nerve damage, which helps guide treatment decisions. Our physician will explain how your specific symptoms relate to the diagnostic findings.
You’ll receive preliminary results and explanation immediately after your EMG test. The physician performing the test will review the findings with you before you leave, explaining what was discovered and what it means for your condition. A detailed written report is typically completed within 24-48 hours and sent to your referring physician. This immediate feedback is one of the advantages of EMG testing – you don’t have to wait days or weeks wondering about results. We’ll also discuss potential next steps and treatment options based on the findings.
EMG testing requires minimal preparation, but there are a few important guidelines. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, 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, let our office know in advance, though most patients can continue their regular medications. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally before the test and don’t need to arrange special transportation afterward.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We work with major insurance providers and handle prior authorization requirements when needed. Coverage typically depends on your specific symptoms and your physician’s referral indicating medical necessity. Before your appointment, we’ll verify your insurance benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about coverage, it’s best to call ahead so any insurance issues can be resolved before your testing date. Our staff is experienced in working with insurance companies to ensure proper coverage.
EMG testing is highly accurate for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders when performed by experienced physicians. The test provides objective, measurable data about nerve function and muscle activity that can’t be obtained through physical examination alone. However, EMG results are most effective when combined with your clinical symptoms and physical examination findings. Some very early or mild nerve problems might not show up on EMG testing, which is why we consider your complete clinical picture. The test is particularly reliable for diagnosing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, where it can determine both the presence and severity of nerve damage.
