Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve pain, numbness, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the shooting pain down your arm – you need answers, not more guesswork.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This precise diagnostic tool measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, revealing exactly where the problem lies. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or if you’re facing something serious.
Within minutes, we can identify nerve compression, muscle disorders, or neurological conditions that other tests might miss. You’ll walk out knowing what’s causing your symptoms and what comes next. That’s the clarity you’ve been searching for.
We’ve been serving Fairview and northern New Jersey for years, focusing specifically on spine and nerve-related conditions. Our neurologists don’t just run tests – we take time to understand your symptoms and explain what the results mean for your life.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies. Our patients appreciate that we speak in plain English, not medical jargon. When you’re dealing with nerve problems, you want doctors who’ve seen it all and know exactly what to look for.
You’re not just another appointment on our schedule. You’re someone who deserves answers and a clear path forward.
The EMG test itself is straightforward. We start with nerve conduction studies, placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.
Next comes the electromyography portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. This shows us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals or if there’s damage somewhere in the pathway.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a detailed explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Our EMG testing covers the full spectrum of nerve and muscle disorders. We evaluate everything from carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica to more complex conditions like peripheral neuropathy and muscular dystrophy.
Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms. If you’re dealing with hand numbness, we focus on the median nerve pathways. Back pain radiating down your leg gets a different approach, targeting the lumbar nerve roots and sciatic pathway.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report that goes to both you and your referring physician. This isn’t just data – it’s a roadmap for your treatment. Whether that means physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery, you’ll know exactly why that’s the recommended path and what to expect.
