Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Numbness in your hands that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you up at night.
EMG testing gives you the concrete answers you need. Instead of guessing about what’s wrong, you’ll have precise data about how your nerves and muscles are actually functioning.
The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and the speed of nerve signals. When something’s not working right, we can see exactly where the problem is and how severe it is. That means your doctor can create a treatment plan based on facts, not assumptions.
Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their condition and realistic expectations about their recovery. No more wondering if it’s serious or if it’ll get worse.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing diagnostic testing to Harrison, NJ residents for years. Our team includes board-certified neurologists who specialize in electromyography and nerve conduction studies.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests and know how to get accurate results while keeping you comfortable. Our facility uses advanced diagnostic equipment that meets the highest medical standards.
What sets us apart is our approach to patient communication. We explain your results in plain language and make sure you understand what the findings mean for your specific situation.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. Both are done in the same appointment, usually taking 30-60 minutes total.
First is the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.
Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. You’ll contract and relax the muscle while the equipment records the signals. Most people describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.
We review the results immediately and explain what we found. You’ll get a clear picture of which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally and what that means for your treatment options.

Your EMG appointment includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity testing. This combination gives a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated disc complications, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. Many Harrison residents come in for workplace injury evaluation or to investigate symptoms related to diabetes or degenerative conditions.
You’ll receive detailed results that day, along with a written report for your referring physician. We coordinate directly with your doctor to ensure your treatment plan starts as soon as possible. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary.
