EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Answers

Your EMG testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. Our neurologist needs to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.

The actual EMG test involves placing small electrodes on your skin and inserting thin needles into specific muscles. You’ll feel brief discomfort, similar to getting blood drawn, but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction study portion uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

The entire process takes 45-60 minutes. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment. No waiting weeks for answers or trying to decode medical jargon on your own.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Assessment

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. This combination provides a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function, not just a partial assessment.

The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc complications, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. For Kings Bay military personnel, we have extensive experience with service-related injuries and repetitive strain conditions.

You’ll receive a detailed report suitable for your primary care doctor, specialists, or military medical records. The results often eliminate the need for more invasive testing or help determine if surgery is truly necessary for your condition.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but most patients find it very tolerable. The nerve conduction portion feels like small static shocks, while the needle EMG creates brief muscle soreness similar to getting an injection. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Many patients say the relief of finally getting answers far outweighs any temporary discomfort during the 45-60 minute procedure.
Most insurance plans, including Tricare, cover medically necessary EMG testing when ordered by your doctor. We verify your coverage before your appointment and provide transparent pricing information upfront.

You get your EMG results immediately after the test is complete. Our neurologist reviews the findings with you right away, explaining what they mean in clear terms you can understand. You’ll leave with a complete understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment. A detailed written report is typically available within 24-48 hours for your other doctors or medical records.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and complications from herniated discs. For military personnel in Kings Bay, it’s particularly useful for diagnosing repetitive strain injuries, service-related nerve damage, and determining if chronic pain stems from nerve or muscle problems. The test helps distinguish between different types of neurological conditions that can have similar symptoms.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of the test, and wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let our office know during scheduling. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The most important preparation is bringing a list of your current symptoms and any previous test results related to your condition.
EMG testing provides crucial information that helps determine whether surgery is necessary for your condition. The test shows the severity of nerve damage and whether conservative treatments might be effective first. Many patients discover their condition can be treated without surgery once they have accurate EMG results. For those who do need surgical intervention, the EMG results help surgeons plan the most effective approach and set realistic expectations for recovery outcomes.
