Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the burning sensation that keeps you awake at night – these aren’t things you should have to live with indefinitely.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing about nerve damage or muscle disorders, you get precise measurements of how your nerves and muscles actually function. This isn’t another round of “let’s try this and see what happens.”
When you know exactly which nerves are affected and how severely, your treatment becomes targeted. No more generic approaches that might work. You get a clear roadmap for addressing the specific problem that’s been disrupting your life.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout Northern New Jersey for years, focusing specifically on complex nerve and spine conditions that other practices often struggle to diagnose accurately.
We understand that by the time you’re getting EMG testing, you’ve probably already been through multiple appointments and treatments without clear answers. That’s exactly why we take a thorough, methodical approach to electromyography testing.
Located right here in Englewood, our practice combines advanced diagnostic technology with the kind of detailed consultation that helps you understand not just what’s wrong, but what you can realistically expect moving forward.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes and involves two main components. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical sensations, but nothing painful.
The second part is the actual electromyography, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there are needles involved, but they’re much thinner than what you’d get for blood work, and most patients find it more uncomfortable than truly painful.
Throughout the entire process, we explain what we’re testing and what the readings indicate. You’re not left wondering what’s happening or what those squiggly lines on the monitor mean. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a clear picture of your nerve and muscle function, along with specific recommendations for next steps.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography, giving a complete picture of your neuromuscular function. The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders that might be causing your symptoms.
What sets this apart from basic testing is the depth of analysis. You’re not just getting a yes-or-no answer about nerve damage. The results show exactly which nerves are affected, how severely, and whether the problem is getting worse or has stabilized.
Our Englewood location uses advanced EMG equipment that provides more precise readings with less discomfort than older systems. More importantly, you get same-day results with a detailed explanation of what they mean for your specific situation and treatment options.
