Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your symptoms, with results you can understand.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for too long without real answers. EMG testing changes that by measuring how well your nerves and muscles actually function.
Within minutes, we can identify nerve damage, pinched nerves, or muscle disorders that other tests might miss. You’ll know if that hand numbness is carpal tunnel, if your back pain involves nerve compression, or if muscle weakness has a treatable cause.
The test gives you concrete data about your condition. No more guessing or wondering if the problem is “in your head.” You get clear results that lead to targeted treatment instead of trial-and-error approaches that waste your time and money.
NY Spine Medicine brings specialized neurological testing directly to Haynesworth residents. We focus specifically on spine and nerve conditions, which means we see cases like yours every day.
Our physicians are board-certified and have performed thousands of EMG tests. We understand that you need more than just test results – you need someone who can explain what those results mean for your daily life.
Located right here in Haynesworth, our clinic eliminates the need to travel to larger cities for quality nerve testing. You get the same advanced diagnostic capabilities with the convenience of staying local.
The EMG test has two parts that work together to give a complete picture of your nerve function. First, the nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like mild static electricity.
Next, the electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients find it less uncomfortable than they expected.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves need testing. You’ll see your results immediately on the computer screen, and we explain what each measurement means. Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their diagnosis and next steps for treatment.

EMG testing at NY Spine Medicine covers the full spectrum of nerve and muscle disorders. Our diagnostic workup can identify carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle diseases.
Each test is customized based on your specific symptoms. If you have hand numbness, we focus on median and ulnar nerve function. Back pain with leg symptoms gets a different approach targeting lumbar nerve roots and related muscles.
We use advanced EMG equipment that provides precise measurements other facilities might miss. You’re not just getting a basic screening – you’re getting the detailed analysis needed for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
