Precise electromyography testing reveals what’s really causing your numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms for months. The numbness in your hands keeps you awake. The tingling in your feet makes walking uncomfortable. Your muscle weakness has you worried about something serious.
EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. This diagnostic procedure measures electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, pinpointing exactly where problems exist. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.
When you know the exact source of your symptoms, your doctor can create a treatment plan that actually works. Instead of trying generic approaches that might help, you get targeted therapy that addresses your specific nerve or muscle condition.
We have been providing comprehensive diagnostic testing to Brooklyn Heights residents for years. Our board-certified physicians specialize in electrodiagnostic medicine, with extensive training in EMG and nerve conduction studies.
Our practice focuses exclusively on spine and nerve-related conditions. This specialization means you’re working with doctors who see cases like yours every day, not generalists trying to cover everything.
Located conveniently in Brooklyn Heights, our facility serves patients throughout Brooklyn who need accurate, professional nerve and muscle testing without traveling to Manhattan.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes. The process involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing.
During nerve conduction studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses stimulate specific nerves while the equipment measures how quickly and effectively signals travel. This identifies nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.
The electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode inserted into muscles being tested. You’ll contract and relax these muscles while the equipment records electrical activity. This reveals muscle disorders and confirms nerve-related muscle problems.
Results are available immediately after testing. Your doctor explains findings in plain language, showing you exactly what the test revealed about your nerve and muscle function.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to provide a complete picture of your condition. The comprehensive evaluation tests multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups relevant to your symptoms.
You receive detailed written results that clearly explain findings and their clinical significance. These reports help your referring physician understand exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles, enabling more effective treatment decisions.
The testing identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Early detection through EMG testing often prevents permanent damage and guides appropriate intervention before symptoms worsen.
