EMG Diagnostic Testing Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

The EMG testing process is straightforward. First, you’ll have a brief consultation where our physician reviews your symptoms and medical history. This helps target the specific areas that need testing.

During the electromyography portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure muscle activity. You might be asked to flex certain muscles or relax completely. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.

Most tests take 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. No waiting weeks for answers or trying to decode complex medical reports on your own.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t typically described as painful. During the nerve conduction portion, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief tingling or muscle twitching. The electromyography part uses thin needle electrodes that feel similar to getting an injection. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, and you can return to normal activities right after.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle disorders. Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the neck or back, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and radiculopathy. The test is particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. Your physician will explain exactly what they’re looking for based on your specific symptoms.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood-thinning medications, let your doctor know beforehand. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms.
You’ll receive your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. Our physician will review the findings with you right away, explaining what the results mean in terms you can understand. If the test reveals a specific condition, you’ll discuss treatment options during the same visit. The results will also be sent to your referring physician if applicable. This immediate feedback means you won’t spend days or weeks wondering about your results or what they mean for your health.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. NY Spine Medicine works with most major insurance providers and we will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our staff handles insurance authorization and billing, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork yourself. If you have questions about your specific coverage or out-of-pocket costs, call ahead and our billing team can provide an estimate based on your insurance plan.
EMG testing is highly accurate for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders, with accuracy rates typically above 85-90% for most conditions. The test provides objective, measurable data about how your nerves and muscles are functioning, which makes it much more reliable than symptom description alone. However, like all medical tests, EMG works best when combined with your clinical history and physical examination. Some very early or mild nerve problems might not show up on EMG, which is why we consider all factors when making a diagnosis.
