Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms for months. Numbness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating.
EMG testing gives you the concrete answers you need. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, revealing exactly where the problem lies and how severe it is.
Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might not work, you’ll have a clear picture of your condition. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or a muscle disorder, you’ll know what you’re dealing with and can move forward with the right treatment plan.
We’ve been serving the Riverdale community with specialized nerve and spine care for years. Our team understands that getting an accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.
We focus specifically on conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and muscles. This isn’t a general practice trying to handle everything – we’re a specialized clinic where EMG testing and nerve diagnostics are core services.
Located right in Riverdale, we provide convenient access to advanced diagnostic testing without the hassle of traveling to Manhattan or dealing with hospital wait times.
Our EMG testing process involves two parts that work together to give you complete information about your nerve and muscle function.
First, the nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well your nerves send signals. Electrodes are placed on your skin over the nerves being tested. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity.
Next, the electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity directly in your muscles. The needle is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical patterns both at rest and during contraction.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one comprehensive appointment. This combination provides the most complete picture of what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve injuries. You’ll receive detailed results that show not just what condition you have, but how severe it is and which specific nerves or muscles are affected.
After testing, you’ll sit down with our physician to review your results in detail. You’ll understand exactly what’s causing your symptoms and receive recommendations for treatment. If specialized care is needed, we coordinate referrals to ensure you get the right follow-up care without delay.
