Advanced electromyography testing reveals exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or unexplained pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Numbness that interferes with your work. Pain that previous treatments haven’t touched because nobody knew exactly what was causing it.
EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. Instead of guessing at treatment options, you get targeted solutions based on real data.
When you know exactly which nerves or muscles are affected, treatment becomes focused and effective. No more trial-and-error approaches or wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” You get answers that lead to relief.
We at NY Spine Medicine have been serving the Baypoint community with comprehensive spine and nerve care. Our team understands that getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward feeling better.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests, and we know how important it is to explain what we’re doing and what your results mean. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting clarity about your condition and a path forward.
Our facility uses advanced electromyography equipment, and our specialists have the experience to interpret results accurately. We’ve seen how the right diagnosis changes everything for our patients.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and needle electromyography. First, we place small electrodes on your skin to measure how well your nerves send electrical signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses – uncomfortable but brief.
Next, we use thin needles to measure electrical activity directly in your muscles. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws. You’ll contract certain muscles while we record the activity, helping us see exactly how your nerves and muscles are communicating.
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. Most patients say it’s less uncomfortable than they expected. We explain each step as we go, so you know what’s happening and why.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give us the full picture. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.
You’ll receive same-day results in most cases. We don’t just hand you a report – we sit down and explain what the findings mean for your specific situation. If we find nerve damage, muscle disorders, or other issues, we discuss your treatment options right away.
The test results integrate directly with your overall treatment plan. If you need physical therapy, medication, or other interventions, we can coordinate that care. You’re not left wondering what to do next.
