EMG Testing Process West Grove

What to Expect During Testing

The EMG test has two parts, both designed to measure how your nerves and muscles function. First comes the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but nothing painful.

Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients find it more uncomfortable than painful.

The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Most patients find EMG testing uncomfortable rather than painful. The nerve conduction portion feels like mild electrical tingling. The needle EMG involves thin electrodes inserted into muscles, which feels similar to acupuncture needles. The discomfort is brief and manageable for most people. Many patients say the anticipation was worse than the actual test. The entire process takes 30-60 minutes, and you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
EMG testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica from nerve root compression, muscle disorders like myositis, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. It’s particularly useful for determining if symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness stem from nerve damage, muscle problems, or both. The test can also assess the severity of nerve damage and help predict recovery potential.
You’ll receive your EMG test results immediately after the procedure. We’ll explain what the findings mean and how they relate to your symptoms. You’ll get a written report that same day, and your referring doctor receives a comprehensive report within 24 hours. This quick turnaround means you can start appropriate treatment without delays, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, or other interventions based on your specific diagnosis.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary EMG testing when ordered by your physician. We work directly with insurance companies and handle authorization and billing processes. It’s recommended to verify your specific coverage before your appointment, but diagnostic EMG testing is typically covered when there’s a medical need to evaluate nerve or muscle function. Our office staff can help verify your benefits and explain any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing, as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood thinners, inform our office beforehand, though most medications don’t need to be stopped. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise.
EMG testing is highly accurate for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders when performed by experienced physicians using proper techniques. The test can detect nerve damage, determine its location and severity, and differentiate between nerve and muscle problems. However, like all medical tests, EMG has limitations and works best when combined with your medical history and physical examination. Some very mild nerve problems might not show up on EMG, which is why clinical correlation is important for accurate diagnosis.
