Precise EMG and nerve conduction testing reveals what’s really causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’re tired of guessing why your arm goes numb or your back pain shoots down your leg. Maybe previous doctors ran basic tests that came back “normal” while you’re still dealing with the same problems every day.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the specific answers you need. EMG testing shows exactly how your muscles are functioning, while nerve conduction studies pinpoint where nerve signals are getting blocked or damaged.
When you know the precise location and extent of the problem, you can move forward with targeted treatment instead of trying random approaches that might not address the real issue.
We’ve been serving Woodside and the broader Queens community with specialized diagnostic testing for years. Our board-certified specialists focus specifically on nerve and muscle disorders that other practices might miss or misdiagnose.
We see patients every day who’ve been told their symptoms are “in their head” or given vague explanations that don’t lead to real solutions. That’s exactly why we invested in advanced EMG and nerve conduction equipment and built our expertise around getting accurate diagnoses the first time.
First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what specific problems we’re investigating. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing your issues.
During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or light shocks – uncomfortable for a moment but not painful.
For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to record the electrical activity in your muscles. You’ll contract specific muscles while we measure their response patterns. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we’re testing.
You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation includes both EMG testing and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of what’s happening.
Many Woodside patients come to us after dealing with symptoms for months or years without getting clear answers. We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries that other tests couldn’t identify.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment based on what we discover. We work with your other doctors to make sure everyone understands the findings and can coordinate your care effectively.
