EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Your EMG testing appointment starts with a consultation about your symptoms. We’ll discuss when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.

The electromyography test itself involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure electrical activity in your muscles and nerves. You might feel a slight tingling sensation, but the test isn’t painful. The nerve conduction study portion measures how well electrical signals travel through your nerves.

The entire process takes about 30-45 minutes. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be. No waiting weeks for answers.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. We test multiple nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening in your body.

We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves. Many of our Little River patients come in thinking they need surgery, only to discover their condition can be treated with much less invasive approaches.

Insurance typically covers EMG testing when it’s medically necessary. We’ll verify your coverage before your appointment so there are no surprises.

EMG testing is generally well-tolerated by most patients. During the nerve conduction study portion, you’ll feel a brief tingling or mild shock sensation when we stimulate the nerves – similar to static electricity. The electromyography portion involves inserting very thin needle electrodes into muscles, which feels like a small pinch. Most patients describe the discomfort as minimal and much less than they expected. The entire test takes 30-45 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test is complete.
You’ll receive your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We’ll review the findings with you right away, explaining what the results mean in plain language. We’ll discuss whether your symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle disorders, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. You’ll leave your appointment with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and recommended treatment options. There’s no waiting period for results – you get answers the same day.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions. Common diagnoses include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy (pinched nerves), muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. The test can also determine the severity of these conditions and whether they’re getting better or worse. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained muscle pain, EMG testing can often pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. The test is typically covered when you have symptoms like persistent numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle pain that needs diagnostic evaluation. We’ll handle the insurance paperwork and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, 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 us know beforehand, though you usually don’t need to stop them. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. The test typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you can drive yourself home afterward.
EMG and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG (electromyography) measures the electrical activity within your muscles using thin needle electrodes. Together, they give us a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. The nerve conduction study helps us identify nerve damage or compression, while the EMG shows us how your muscles are responding and whether there’s muscle damage.
