Electromyography Testing Fashion District

Finally Know What's Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Tingling that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating.

EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. Instead of guessing about what’s causing your symptoms, you’ll know exactly which nerves or muscles are affected and how severely.

This isn’t just about getting test results. It’s about moving from uncertainty to a clear treatment plan. When you understand what’s happening in your body, you can make informed decisions about your care and start addressing the root cause instead of just managing symptoms.

EMG Nerve Test Process

Simple Testing, Clear Results

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’re experiencing to target the right areas during testing.

During the electromyography portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin or thin needles are inserted into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves. The nerve conduction study involves small electrical pulses that test how well your nerves transmit signals.

Most patients find the testing uncomfortable but not unbearable. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment options.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

EMG testing at NY Spine Medicine includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies to give you a complete picture of your condition. This comprehensive approach can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and other nerve-related conditions.

Our testing covers multiple areas if needed – arms, legs, back, or neck – depending on where you’re experiencing symptoms. You’re not limited to testing just one area if your symptoms suggest a more widespread issue.

After testing, you’ll receive detailed results with specific recommendations for treatment. This might include physical therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or referrals to other specialists. Our goal is giving you a clear path forward based on objective test findings rather than guesswork.

EMG testing involves some discomfort but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical pulses – similar to static electricity shocks. The needle EMG portion involves thin needles inserted into muscles, which feels like getting multiple small injections. The discomfort is temporary and stops immediately when the test ends. Most people say it’s less painful than they expected and worth it for getting clear answers about their symptoms.
EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy. It can also identify nerve compression, muscle inflammation, and determine whether symptoms are caused by nerve damage, muscle problems, or issues with nerve-muscle communication. The test is particularly useful when you have numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that hasn’t been clearly diagnosed through other methods.
Most EMG tests take between 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need to be evaluated. Simple tests focusing on one area might be completed in 30 minutes, while comprehensive testing of multiple areas can take up to an hour. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing is complete. We will explain what the findings mean, discuss your diagnosis, and recommend next steps for treatment. There’s no waiting period for results – you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition.
Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let our office know in advance. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise. The most important preparation is bringing a list of your current symptoms and any previous test results related to your condition.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle conditions. This includes Medicare and most major private insurance companies. Coverage typically requires that you have symptoms like numbness, weakness, or pain that suggest a nerve or muscle problem. Our office will verify your insurance benefits before scheduling and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. Pre-authorization may be required depending on your specific plan, but our staff handles this process for you.
EMG (electromyography) and nerve conduction studies are often performed together but test different things. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast and effectively your nerves transmit electrical signals using surface electrodes and small electrical pulses. EMG measures the electrical activity within your muscles using thin needle electrodes. Nerve conduction studies detect problems with nerve function, while EMG identifies muscle disorders or nerve-muscle communication issues. Together, they provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular system and can pinpoint whether problems originate in the nerves, muscles, or both.
