Precise EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands. Tingling in your feet. Weakness that comes and goes. Your regular doctor suspects nerve problems, but you need real answers.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, revealing exactly where the problem lies. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head.
When you know what’s causing your symptoms, you can actually do something about it. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or muscle disorders, EMG testing provides the roadmap for your treatment. You’ll walk out understanding your condition and what comes next.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Watson Island and surrounding Florida communities with specialized neurological testing for years. Our team focuses specifically on spine, nerve, and muscle disorders, which means we’ve seen your symptoms before.
We combine advanced diagnostic technology with straightforward communication. You won’t get medical jargon or vague explanations. You’ll get clear answers about what’s happening in your body and realistic options for addressing it.
This isn’t a general practice trying to handle everything. We’re a specialized facility that understands nerve and muscle problems inside and out.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. First, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well your nerves send signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses, but nothing painful.
Next, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needle might cause brief discomfort, similar to getting blood drawn. You’ll be asked to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. Results are available immediately, so you’ll know what the test revealed before you leave. Most patients return to normal activities right away, though you might have minor soreness at needle sites for a day or two.
