Electromyography Diagnostic Testing Services

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with unexplained muscle weakness, strange tingling, or that nagging numbness that just won’t go away. Maybe you’ve had other tests that didn’t give you real answers. EMG testing changes that.

This isn’t another guessing game. Electromyography testing measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us precise data about what’s actually happening in your body. When your EMG results come back, you’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, or something else entirely.

No more wondering. No more “let’s wait and see.” Just clear, actionable information that leads to the right treatment plan for your specific condition.

Nerve Conduction Study Specialists

We Know What We're Looking For

We’ve been providing accurate EMG and nerve conduction studies to patients throughout Florida for years. Our physicians specialize in diagnosing complex nerve and muscle conditions that other doctors often miss or misdiagnose.

We use advanced electromyography equipment and combine EMG testing with comprehensive nerve conduction studies. This dual approach gives us a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.

You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting specialists who understand exactly what your symptoms mean and how to interpret every detail of your EMG results.

EMG and Nerve Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re investigating. Then we start with the nerve conduction study portion, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical sensations, but nothing painful.

Next comes the EMG testing itself. We insert very thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn, just in different locations. The needles detect whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, and we’ll explain exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

What Your EMG Test Includes

Your EMG testing appointment includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies performed by our experienced specialists. We test multiple muscle groups and nerve pathways to get a complete assessment of your condition.

You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. We don’t just hand you a report and send you on your way. We explain what every finding means in terms you can understand and discuss how this information guides your treatment.

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and we handle the authorization process. You’ll know your expected costs upfront, with no surprise bills later.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but isn’t severely painful. The nerve conduction study feels like brief electrical pulses, similar to static electricity shocks. The EMG portion uses thin needles inserted into muscles, which most patients compare to getting blood drawn or acupuncture. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the needles are removed. We test each muscle for only a few minutes, and you can ask for breaks if needed. Most patients say the anticipation is worse than the actual test.
EMG testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders like myopathy, nerve root compression, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful for investigating unexplained muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, or chronic pain. The test can also determine the severity of nerve damage and whether it’s getting better or worse over time. This information is crucial for developing the right treatment plan and monitoring your progress.
Most EMG tests take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to examine. You’ll get preliminary results immediately after the test, and we’ll explain what we found right then. The complete written report is usually ready within 24 to 48 hours and sent to your referring physician. We make sure you understand what the results mean for your condition and treatment options before you leave our office.
Preparation is minimal. Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know beforehand, but you usually don’t need to stop them. Avoid caffeine for a few hours before the test, as it can affect muscle activity. 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 to diagnose your symptoms. We verify your coverage before your appointment and handle prior authorizations if required. You’ll know your expected out-of-pocket costs upfront. EMG testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, so coverage is typically good. If you have questions about your specific plan’s coverage, our staff can check your benefits and explain what you’ll be responsible for paying.
Nerve conduction studies test how well electrical signals travel along your nerves by applying small electrical pulses to the skin. EMG testing uses thin needles inserted into muscles to measure their electrical activity directly. We usually perform both tests together because they give us different but complementary information. Nerve conduction studies show us how your nerves are transmitting signals, while EMG shows us how your muscles are responding to those signals. Together, they provide a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
