Precise electromyography testing that identifies exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes it hard to grip things. Tingling in your legs that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse instead of better.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the 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.
The results guide everything that comes next. Your treatment plan. Your recovery timeline. Your peace of mind. When you know what’s actually happening in your body, you can address it properly instead of treating symptoms in the dark.
We’ve been serving Brooklyn Manor and the surrounding area with specialized neurological diagnostics and spine care. Our practice focuses specifically on conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and related musculature.
We understand that nerve problems don’t wait for convenient times. They affect your work, your sleep, and your daily activities. That’s why we prioritize efficient scheduling and clear communication throughout the diagnostic process.
Located right in Brooklyn Manor, we provide the specialized testing you need without the hassle of traveling to Manhattan or dealing with hospital systems that treat you like a number.
Our EMG testing process involves two main components that work together to give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. This part feels like brief, mild electrical sensations.
Next comes the electromyography portion, where thin needle electrodes are inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently while the equipment records the signals.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. Most patients find it more tolerable than they expected. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and next steps.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to evaluate different aspects of your neurological function. The nerve conduction portion tests how fast and effectively your nerves carry electrical signals, while the needle EMG measures muscle response and identifies areas of nerve damage or muscle disease.
Testing can evaluate conditions throughout your body – from carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrists to sciatica affecting your legs. The equipment we use is state-of-the-art, providing precise measurements that help differentiate between various neurological conditions that might cause similar symptoms.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report explaining your results in understandable terms, plus recommendations for treatment based on the specific findings. If additional testing or specialist referrals are needed, those recommendations come with clear reasoning about why they’re necessary for your particular situation.
