EMG Testing Process Legion Park

Simple, Straightforward Testing Process

Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for.

During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity.

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting a vaccination – brief and manageable. We explain each step as we go, so you know exactly what to expect. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and recommended next steps.

Comprehensive EMG Muscle Nerve Testing

Complete Diagnostic Testing Package

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies for a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.

Many Legion Park patients come to us after dealing with symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or unexplained muscle weakness. Our comprehensive approach means we can identify conditions that might be missed with less thorough testing.

You’ll receive detailed results documentation that you can share with your primary care doctor or specialist. We also provide clear recommendations for follow-up care and treatment options based on your specific findings.

Most patients tolerate EMG testing well. The nerve conduction study portion involves small electrical pulses that feel like brief static shocks – surprising but not painful. The electromyography portion uses thin needle electrodes that cause discomfort similar to getting a shot. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws. Any discomfort stops immediately when the needle is removed. We work efficiently to minimize testing time while ensuring accurate results.
EMG testing typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. The actual testing time varies based on your specific symptoms and the areas we need to examine. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing, along with a detailed explanation of what the findings mean. We’ll discuss how the results relate to your symptoms and provide recommendations for next steps or follow-up care with your referring physician.
EMG testing can diagnose nerve compression disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, radiculopathies including sciatica and cervical nerve root compression, peripheral neuropathies such as diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders including myopathy and muscular dystrophy, and motor neuron diseases. The test helps determine whether symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
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 loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, though you typically won’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The test is typically covered when you have symptoms like unexplained numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or pain that suggests nerve or muscle problems. We’ll provide you with any necessary documentation for insurance purposes and can discuss payment options if you have questions about coverage.
Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast nerves transmit electrical signals using surface electrodes placed on your skin. EMG testing uses thin needle electrodes inserted into muscles to record their electrical activity at rest and during contraction. These tests complement each other – nerve conduction studies evaluate nerve function, while EMG evaluates muscle function and nerve-muscle communication. Most patients receive both tests during the same appointment for a comprehensive evaluation of their neuromuscular system.
