Precise EMG testing and nerve conduction studies that pinpoint exactly what’s causing your symptoms.
Reviews
That numbness in your hands isn’t something you should ignore. Neither is the muscle weakness that’s making simple tasks feel impossible.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers about what’s happening with your nerves and muscles. You’ll know if that tingling is carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.”
The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and how well your nerves conduct signals. When something’s wrong, it shows up clearly on the results. You get a definitive diagnosis that guides your treatment instead of guessing what might help.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Franklin Lakes and Northern New Jersey for years, focusing specifically on spine and nerve-related conditions. We understand that getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward feeling better.
Our practice specializes in neuromuscular diagnostics, meaning we’ve seen every type of nerve and muscle problem you can imagine. We know how to perform these tests efficiently and explain results in plain English.
Most patients appreciate that they can get their EMG testing done locally instead of traveling to Manhattan or waiting weeks for an appointment at a larger medical center.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and needle electromyography. The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test how fast and strong your nerve signals are.
The second part involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. You’ll contract and relax different muscles while the needle records the signals. Most people describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies performed in the same appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your neuromuscular function.
You receive detailed results interpretation from spine medicine specialists who understand how nerve problems affect your daily life. We explain which nerves are affected, how severe the problem is, and what treatment options make sense for your situation.
The diagnostic report goes directly to your referring physician, but you’ll also get a clear explanation of findings before you leave. Many patients in Franklin Lakes appreciate this thorough approach because it eliminates confusion about their diagnosis.
