Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness or nerve symptoms.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness for too long. Maybe it’s in your hands, shooting down your leg, or affecting your daily activities. You need answers, not more guessing.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic test measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, showing us exactly where the problem is and how severe it might be. No more wondering if it’s serious or if it’s all in your head.
Within minutes of your test, you’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll know what to do about it.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping South Florida residents get accurate diagnoses for their nerve and muscle problems for years. We specialize in spine and pain medicine, which means we see these symptoms every day.
We know the difference between a minor nerve irritation and something that needs immediate attention. We also know how to explain your results in plain English, so you understand exactly what’s happening and what your options are.
Located right in Bal Harbour, we make it easy to get the testing you need without traveling across town or waiting weeks for an appointment.
The EMG test itself takes about 30-45 minutes. First, we’ll do a nerve conduction study, which involves placing small electrodes on your skin and sending mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves are working. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.
Next comes the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. The needle is very fine, and most people find it less uncomfortable than they expected.
Throughout the test, you’ll see and hear the results in real-time on a monitor. We’ll explain what we’re seeing as we go, so you’re not left wondering what all those squiggly lines mean. Right after the test, we’ll sit down with you to discuss the findings and what they mean for your treatment.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing in one appointment. This comprehensive approach gives a complete picture of both your nerve function and muscle response, which is crucial for an accurate diagnosis.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and various forms of nerve compression. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and the areas of concern.
You’ll receive a detailed report of your results, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your health. If treatment is needed, we’ll discuss your options and help coordinate your care, whether that involves physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions.
