Advanced EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands that keeps you awake. The muscle weakness that makes simple tasks difficult. The numbness that comes and goes without warning.
EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. Within minutes, we can identify if your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head.
When you know exactly what’s causing your symptoms, you can move forward with the right treatment plan. Your referring doctor gets detailed results that help them recommend the most effective next steps, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, or other interventions that actually target your specific condition.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Oakland, NJ and the surrounding northern New Jersey communities for years. Our team specializes in comprehensive neuromuscular diagnostics, combining advanced EMG technology with the clinical expertise to interpret results accurately.
We work closely with referring physicians throughout the area, from Wayne to Franklin Lakes to Mahwah. This collaborative approach ensures your test results integrate seamlessly with your overall care plan.
Every EMG test is performed by our board-certified specialists who understand that behind every test is a person looking for answers. You’re not just another appointment – you’re someone who deserves clear explanations and expert care.
Your EMG testing appointment typically combines two complementary tests: electromyography and nerve conduction studies. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation.
First, nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes placed on your skin deliver mild electrical pulses while sensors measure the response. This part feels like brief, mild electrical sensations – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.
Next, the EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. The needle is inserted into specific muscles while you’re asked to relax and then gently contract the muscle. You’ll hear the electrical activity through speakers – it sounds like static or rain on a roof.
Throughout the test, our specialist explains what they’re seeing and what it means for your specific symptoms. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the results and what your referring doctor will recommend next.

Your EMG testing appointment includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies, giving your doctor a complete picture of your neuromuscular function. This comprehensive approach is essential for accurately diagnosing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders.
The testing can evaluate multiple areas during one appointment – arms, legs, back, or neck – depending on your symptoms. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and we work with major insurance providers throughout New Jersey.
You’ll receive detailed results that your referring physician can use immediately. The report includes specific findings, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations for treatment or additional testing if needed. This thorough documentation helps ensure your care team has everything they need to move forward with the most appropriate treatment plan.
