Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or unexplained pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with that tingling in your hands for months. Or maybe it’s the shooting pain down your leg that no one seems to understand. The numbness that makes you drop things. The muscle weakness that’s getting worse.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing about nerve damage or muscle disorders, you’ll know exactly which nerves aren’t working properly and why your muscles feel weak.
This isn’t about managing symptoms anymore. It’s about understanding the root cause so you can target the real problem. When you know whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely, treatment becomes straightforward instead of trial and error.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Oakwood and surrounding areas with comprehensive nerve and muscle diagnostic services. Our board-certified specialists understand that you need answers, not more questions.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests and nerve conduction studies. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting an experienced team that knows how to interpret results and explain them in terms that actually make sense.
Our focus stays on accurate diagnosis first, then clear treatment planning based on what we find.
First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. This helps us target the right nerves and muscles during testing.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast your nerves transmit signals. It feels like small taps or mild static electricity.
Then comes the EMG portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Yes, there’s brief discomfort when the needle goes in, but most patients say it’s less painful than expected.
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report within 24 hours explaining exactly what we found and what it means for your treatment.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test the specific nerves and muscles related to your symptoms – whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and any abnormalities we discover. More importantly, we explain what these findings mean in plain language.
If we find nerve compression, muscle disorders, or other issues, we’ll discuss treatment options immediately. Many patients leave with a clear diagnosis and treatment plan the same day. No waiting weeks for results or wondering what comes next.
