Advanced 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 numbness in your hands that’s making work difficult. The muscle weakness that has you worried. The shooting pain that keeps you up at night.
EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. This comprehensive diagnostic test measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, identifying exactly where problems exist and what’s causing your symptoms.
Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might not work, you’ll have a clear roadmap. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or another condition, accurate diagnosis means you can move forward with the right treatment plan.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout northern New Jersey with advanced diagnostic testing and spine care. We understand that getting an EMG test can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with concerning symptoms.
That’s why we focus on clear communication throughout the entire process. You’ll know exactly what to expect, what each part of the test reveals, and what your results mean for your treatment options.
We work with your existing doctors to ensure seamless care coordination, so you’re not navigating this alone.
Your EMG test actually involves two parts that work together to give a complete picture. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical sensations, but nothing painful.
Next comes the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients find it more uncomfortable than truly painful.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which areas need testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing appointment includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing in one comprehensive session. This means you won’t need to schedule multiple appointments or repeat the process.
The testing can diagnose a wide range of conditions affecting your arms, legs, and back. Common findings include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders that cause weakness or pain.
You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw numbers. We explain what your specific findings mean, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options make the most sense based on your diagnosis. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and our staff handles prior authorization requirements when needed.
