Precise electromyography testing reveals exactly what’s causing your numbness, weakness, or tingling so you can start the right treatment.
Reviews
You’re tired of wondering what’s wrong. The numbness in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the tingling that won’t quit – you need answers, not more guessing.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, pinpointing exactly where the problem lies. No more trial-and-error treatments that waste your time and money.
When you know what’s actually happening in your body, everything changes. Your doctor can target the real issue instead of treating symptoms. You can make informed decisions about your care. Most importantly, you can stop worrying about the unknown and focus on getting better.
The test itself takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and you’ll have results the same day. That means you walk out with clarity instead of more questions.
We’ve been serving South Florida patients for years, specializing in accurate diagnosis of nerve and muscle disorders. Our physicians are board-certified and specifically trained in electromyography and nerve conduction studies.
We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests for patients throughout the Perrine area. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures precise results, while our experienced team makes sure you understand exactly what those results mean for your health.
You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting expertise that comes from years of helping people figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it.
The EMG test has two parts, and both are straightforward. First, we perform nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin over the nerves we’re testing. We send tiny electrical pulses through the electrodes to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are.
Next comes the needle EMG portion. We insert very thin needles into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. The needles are much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients find the discomfort minimal and brief.
During the test, we’ll ask you to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently. This lets us see how your muscles and nerves work both at rest and during activity. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to examine.
You’ll get your results immediately after the test. We’ll explain what we found, what it means for your condition, and discuss the next steps for your treatment plan.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies in one appointment. We test multiple muscle groups and nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening in your body.
The evaluation covers common problem areas like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the spine, diabetic neuropathy, and muscle disorders. We can also identify less common conditions that might be missed with other diagnostic methods.
After your test, you receive a detailed report explaining the findings in plain language. We don’t just hand you results and send you on your way – we take time to make sure you understand what we found and how it relates to your symptoms.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and we handle the authorization process for you. You shouldn’t have to fight with insurance companies when you’re trying to get answers about your health.
