Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, arms, legs, or back. Maybe it’s numbness that comes and goes. Maybe it’s tingling that keeps you awake. Maybe your muscles feel weaker than they should.
Your regular doctor says “let’s wait and see” or refers you for testing without explaining much. You’re left wondering if something serious is happening to your nerves.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. This diagnostic procedure measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate with each other. When something’s interfering with those signals, we can pinpoint exactly where the problem is happening and how severe it is. No more guessing about whether your symptoms are “all in your head” or if they’ll get worse over time.
We’ve been serving the Briarwood and Queens communities with specialized neurological diagnostics for years. Our team understands that nerve symptoms can be frightening when you don’t know what’s causing them.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies, helping patients get the definitive answers they need to move forward with treatment. Our focus stays on clear communication throughout the entire process, from scheduling your appointment to explaining your results in terms that actually make sense.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves two main parts. First, we perform nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin and sending mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals travel. This feels like small static shocks, brief and tolerable for most people.
Next comes the electromyography portion, where we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently while we measure the signals. The needle insertion causes momentary discomfort similar to getting blood drawn.
Throughout the test, we explain what we’re seeing and answer any questions. Once complete, we review the results with you immediately, showing you the actual nerve and muscle readings and explaining what they mean for your specific symptoms. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to build a complete picture of your neurological function, not just focus on one problem area.
You receive detailed results interpretation during your visit, plus a comprehensive report for your referring physician. We coordinate directly with your doctor to ensure your EMG findings integrate smoothly into your overall treatment plan. Many patients find relief just from finally understanding what’s been causing their symptoms.
Our testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc complications, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. Insurance coverage is accepted for most EMG testing when medically necessary.
