Electromyography Testing Kendall

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Your primary care doctor suspects nerve damage but needs confirmation. That’s where EMG testing comes in.

Electromyography testing gives you concrete answers about nerve and muscle function. Within 45 minutes, you’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, or muscle disorders. No more guessing about what’s causing your symptoms.

The best part? You get results the same day. No waiting weeks for answers or scheduling multiple follow-up appointments. You walk out knowing exactly what’s happening and what your treatment options look like.

EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process is straightforward and takes about 30-45 minutes. First, you’ll have a brief consultation where our technician explains what to expect and reviews your symptoms.

The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like mild static electricity – uncomfortable for a moment but not painful.

Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The needle picks up signals that show whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve stimulation.

Throughout the test, you’ll hear clicking sounds and see wave patterns on the monitor. Our technician explains what they’re seeing in real time. Once complete, one of our specialists reviews the results and discusses findings with you immediately.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach evaluates both nerve function and muscle response to give you a complete picture.

The testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. It’s particularly effective for patients experiencing unexplained weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain in their arms, hands, legs, or feet.

You’ll receive detailed results explaining nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and what these findings mean for your condition. Our specialist will discuss whether your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle disease, or other factors. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a clear treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis.

We accept insurance for most EMG testing, and our staff handles prior authorization when needed. Our goal is removing barriers so you can get the answers you need quickly.

Most patients find EMG testing much less uncomfortable than they expected. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild static electricity or small shocks – brief and tolerable. The needle electrode insertion is similar to getting blood drawn. You might feel some muscle soreness afterward, but it typically resolves within a day. The entire test takes 30-45 minutes, and many patients say the relief of finally getting answers outweighs any temporary discomfort. Our technicians are experienced at keeping you comfortable throughout the process.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and handle prior authorization when required. Our staff will verify your coverage before scheduling and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront. If you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or nerve pain that your doctor wants to investigate, insurance typically covers the testing. It’s always best to check with your specific plan, but diagnostic EMG tests are generally well-covered.
You get your EMG test results the same day at NY Spine Medicine. Immediately after the testing is complete, one of our specialists reviews the findings and discusses them with you. There’s no waiting weeks for results or scheduling separate follow-up appointments just to hear your diagnosis. You’ll understand what the test showed, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options are available before you leave our office. This same-day approach means you can start treatment sooner and stop wondering what’s causing your symptoms.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. It’s particularly effective for identifying pinched nerves, nerve damage from diabetes, muscle weakness disorders, and determining the location and severity of nerve compression. The test can also rule out serious conditions and help distinguish between nerve problems and muscle diseases. If you’re experiencing unexplained numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in your arms, hands, legs, or feet, EMG testing can provide definitive answers.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams 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, let our staff know when scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring your insurance card and a list of current symptoms. The most important preparation is coming with questions about your condition – our specialist will have time to address your concerns after reviewing your results.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are complementary tests often performed together. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to measure electrical activity and how muscles respond to nerve signals. The nerve conduction study evaluates the “wiring” while EMG evaluates the “motors.” Together, they provide a complete picture of nerve and muscle function. Most patients receive both tests in one appointment to ensure comprehensive evaluation of their symptoms and accurate diagnosis of their condition.
