EMG Nerve Test Process

What to Expect During Testing

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes. We start with a nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves send signals. You’ll feel brief, mild sensations similar to static electricity.

Next comes the electromyography portion. We insert thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Most patients describe this as similar to getting an injection or acupuncture.

Throughout the test, we monitor your comfort level and explain what we’re doing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Most patients find EMG testing uncomfortable but tolerable. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief static electricity sensations. The needle EMG feels similar to getting an injection or acupuncture treatment. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The entire test usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete. Many patients say it wasn’t as bad as they expected.
EMG testing helps diagnose nerve compression syndromes like carpal tunnel or sciatica, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes or other causes, muscle disorders, pinched nerves in the spine, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful when you have symptoms like unexplained weakness, numbness, tingling, or muscle pain. The test shows us exactly where the problem is located and how severe it might be.
Avoid using lotions, creams, or oils on your skin the day of testing 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 we specifically tell you otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Yes, we discuss your results with you immediately after the test is complete. We’ll explain what the findings mean in terms you can understand and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll also receive a written report that gets sent to your referring physician. This same-day discussion helps you understand your condition right away rather than waiting days or weeks for results, which reduces anxiety and helps you plan your next steps.
