Electromyography Diagnostic Testing Results

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands during work. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake at night. You need answers, not more guessing.

EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, showing exactly where problems exist. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, your doctor can create a treatment plan that targets the real problem. That means faster relief and better outcomes, instead of trying treatments that might not work for your specific condition.

EMG Testing Process

Here's What Actually Happens

The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses test how well your nerves send signals. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks – uncomfortable but not painful.

For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity when your muscle is at rest and when you contract it. The needle insertion feels like getting a shot, and most people tolerate it well.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas need testing. You’ll get your results immediately after the test, and a detailed report goes to your referring doctor within 24 hours.

Comprehensive EMG Nerve Testing

What Your Test Includes

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography, giving a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. The test can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders.

You’ll receive same-day results with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition. The comprehensive report includes specific measurements and recommendations that help your doctor determine the best treatment approach.

Most patients describe EMG testing as uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like brief, mild electrical shocks – similar to static electricity but stronger. The needle portion feels like getting multiple small injections. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when each test is finished. Many patients are surprised that it’s more tolerable than they expected. You can drive yourself home afterward and return to normal activities right away.
EMG testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll know your results before leaving our office – we’ll explain the findings and what they mean for your condition. A detailed written report is sent to your referring physician within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means you can move forward with treatment planning without waiting weeks for results like you might with other tests.
EMG testing can diagnose nerve compression conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and pinched nerves in the neck or back. It also identifies peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and helps determine if weakness is coming from nerve damage, muscle problems, or spine issues. The test is particularly useful for evaluating numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and chronic pain when the cause isn’t clear from physical examination or imaging studies alone.
Preparation is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils 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. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. If you take blood thinners, let our office know when scheduling, but these usually don’t prevent testing. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. We accept most insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our office staff handles prior authorization requirements when needed. Since EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure for nerve and muscle problems, coverage is typically straightforward. You’ll know your expected out-of-pocket costs before the test.
After your test, you’ll receive an immediate explanation of the results and what they mean for your condition. The detailed report goes to your referring doctor within 24 hours, so they can review the findings and discuss next steps with you. Depending on the results, treatment might include physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions. Some patients feel relief just knowing exactly what’s causing their symptoms. You can resume all normal activities immediately after testing.
