Professional EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, tingling in your feet, or unexplained muscle weakness. Your regular doctor suspects nerve damage but needs confirmation. That’s exactly what EMG testing does.
Electromyography testing measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate with each other. When something’s wrong with this connection, you feel it as pain, weakness, numbness, or that pins-and-needles sensation that won’t go away.
The test gives us a clear picture of nerve function throughout your body. We can pinpoint exactly which nerves aren’t working properly and how severe the problem is. This isn’t guesswork – it’s precise diagnostic information that leads to the right treatment plan for your specific condition.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Astoria and the surrounding Queens communities for years. Our board-certified specialists focus exclusively on spine and nerve conditions, which means we see these symptoms every day.
We use advanced EMG equipment that provides the most accurate readings possible. But more importantly, we take time to explain what we find in terms you can actually understand.
You don’t need to travel to Manhattan for quality diagnostic testing. We bring the same level of expertise and technology right here to Astoria, with appointment times that work around your schedule.
The EMG test has two parts, and we handle both during your visit. First is the nerve conduction study, where we place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to test how fast signals travel through your nerves.
Next is the needle EMG, where we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients say it’s much less painful than they expected.
The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we need to test. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll walk through exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Our EMG testing covers both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one appointment. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.
You’ll receive a detailed report that shows exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally. We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, and muscle disorders that cause weakness or pain.
The testing helps us determine not just what’s wrong, but how severe it is and whether it’s getting worse. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause of your symptoms.
