Advanced EMG testing reveals what’s really causing your numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the shooting pain down your leg, or the muscle weakness that’s making simple tasks difficult – these aren’t things you should have to live with or guess about.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or trying treatment after treatment without knowing the root cause, you get a clear picture of exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
When you know what’s wrong, you can finally move forward with the right treatment. No more wasted time on approaches that don’t address your specific condition. No more uncertainty about whether your symptoms will get worse or better.

You don’t have to travel to Manhattan for quality neurological testing. Right here in Tottenville, you can access the same level of advanced diagnostics you’d find at major medical centers.
EMG testing involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity.
The electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. While this sounds uncomfortable, the needles are very fine and most patients tolerate the procedure well. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing.
Throughout the test, our technician explains what’s happening and why. You’ll see the results on the screen in real time, and we’ll review everything with you immediately afterward, explaining what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give a complete picture of your condition. This comprehensive approach can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves throughout your body.
The testing covers multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups as needed based on your symptoms. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all test – the evaluation is tailored to your specific complaints and the areas where you’re experiencing problems.
After testing, you receive a detailed report explaining the findings in terms you can understand, along with specific recommendations for treatment. If additional specialists need to be involved in your care, we coordinate those referrals and ensure everyone has the information they need to help you get better.
