EMG Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. We start with nerve conduction studies, where small electrical pulses test how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical sensations, but nothing painful.

Next comes the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode measures electrical activity in your muscles. We test muscles at rest and when you contract them slightly. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting an injection.

Throughout the test, we explain what we’re finding in real time. You’ll see the results on our monitoring equipment and understand what the patterns mean. Before you leave, we discuss your results and provide clear next steps for treatment or additional care.

Complete Nerve and Muscle Testing

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to give us a complete picture of your condition. We test motor nerves that control muscle movement and sensory nerves that carry feeling sensations.

We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Our testing covers arms, legs, and specific muscle groups based on your symptoms.

You receive a detailed report that clearly explains your results in terms you can understand. We coordinate with your referring physician and provide recommendations for treatment options. If you need specialized care, we can connect you with the right specialists in our network.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t considered painful by most patients. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief electrical pulses or static shocks. The needle EMG part involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, similar to getting an injection. Most people tolerate the procedure well and say the discomfort is much less than they expected. The entire test usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. We explain each step as we go to keep you comfortable and informed.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders like myopathy or myositis. The test is particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain are caused by nerve compression, nerve damage, or muscle dysfunction. It can also measure the severity of these conditions and help determine the best treatment approach.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting 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 in advance, but you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your EMG test. We discuss what we found during the procedure and explain what the patterns mean for your condition. A complete written report is typically available within 24-48 hours and sent to your referring physician. If you need a copy for your records or to take to another specialist, we can provide that right away. For urgent findings that require immediate attention, we’ll contact your doctor the same day and ensure you understand any necessary next steps.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The test is typically covered when ordered by your physician to investigate symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain. We’ll provide you with cost estimates upfront and work with your insurance company to ensure proper authorization if required. Our billing team can answer specific questions about your coverage.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes and small electrical pulses. EMG uses thin needle electrodes to measure electrical activity directly in your muscles. Nerve conduction studies detect problems with nerve function, while EMG identifies muscle disorders or nerve problems affecting muscle control. Together, they provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular system and help pinpoint whether your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or both.
