Professional 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 during long workdays, the numbness that wakes you up at night, or the muscle weakness that’s making simple tasks difficult.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious, you’ll know exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and how well your nerves are conducting signals. Within an hour, we can identify nerve damage, muscle disorders, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome that might be affecting your daily life and work performance.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Financial District professionals and residents with comprehensive diagnostic testing for years. We understand the unique challenges of working in Manhattan’s business hub.
We know you can’t afford to waste time with unclear results or multiple appointments. That’s why we use advanced electromyography equipment and provide clear explanations of what your test results mean for your treatment options.
Our Financial District location makes it easy to fit testing into your schedule, whether you’re dealing with work-related repetitive strain or other nerve-related symptoms that need professional evaluation.
Your EMG test typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves two 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 are.
Next, we do the electromyography portion using a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity in your muscles both at rest and when you contract them. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients find it tolerable.
You’ll get your results immediately after testing. We’ll explain what the electrical patterns show about your nerve function, muscle health, and any abnormalities we found. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give you a complete picture of what’s happening. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups depending on your symptoms.
The testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and other conditions causing your symptoms. We use this information to determine if you need physical therapy, medication, injections, or other treatments.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after testing. You might have some minor soreness at needle insertion sites, but this typically resolves within a day. We’ll coordinate with your referring physician or help you understand your treatment options based on the results.
