SCHEDULING
We call you to schedule
We book you at whichever office is closest: American Fork, Payson or Tooele.
YOUR STUDY
A 45-minute study
A board-certified specialist performs the nerve conduction study and EMG, using modern equipment that typically minimizes or even eliminates the pain and discomfort often associated with older equipment and techniques.
+24 HOURS
The report is faxed to your doctor
Most reports go out within a day of the study, so your treatment plan can move forward.
No lotion
Please skip lotion on the day of your study.
Dress for access
Short sleeves or a tank top for arm studies. Loose pants or shorts for leg studies.
About 45 minutes
That’s a typical appointment, from start to finish.
Keep your medications
Blood thinners and pain medications are fine. You don’t need to change anything.
Brief, mild discomfort
Electrical stimulation is applied to the skin in short bursts and feels a lot like physical therapy stimulation or a TENS unit. At the end, a small wire is also used to “listen” to the electrical activity in the muscles. It is thin, about the size of an acupuncture needle. Both the stimulation and wire are usually very tolerable for most patients.
Back to your day
You can drive and go back to work afterward. No lasting side effects are expected.
