Professional EMG testing and nerve conduction studies that pinpoint what’s causing your pain, weakness, or numbness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained muscle weakness, tingling, or nerve pain long enough. EMG testing gives you the concrete answers you need to move forward with the right treatment.
When your EMG and nerve conduction study results are clear, your doctor can target the exact problem. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely. You get a definitive diagnosis that leads to a treatment plan that actually works.
The uncertainty ends here. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening in your body and what steps come next to get you feeling better.

Located conveniently for Dongan Hills residents, we accept most insurance plans and provide transparent information about costs upfront.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin and mild electrical pulses test how well your nerves send signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.
For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle is very fine – thinner than those used for blood draws. You might feel a quick pinch when it goes in, but most patients find it much less uncomfortable than they expected.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your specific situation and what treatment options make sense.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach tests both your nerves and muscles to give a complete picture of what’s causing your symptoms.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, muscle disorders, and pinched nerves throughout your body. You’re not limited to just one area – if you have symptoms in multiple locations, they can all be evaluated during your visit.
After testing, you receive a detailed report of findings plus a consultation explaining your results. We will discuss what the results mean for your specific symptoms and coordinate with your referring doctor to ensure you get the right follow-up care.
