Professional EMG testing and nerve conduction studies to diagnose unexplained numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes it hard to grip things. Tingling in your feet that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that wasn’t there six months ago.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of wondering if it’s serious or if it’s all in your head, you get a clear diagnosis that explains exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles.
Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can move forward with the right treatment. No more guessing. No more sleepless nights wondering if things will get worse. Just a clear path to feeling better.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Port Richmond and Staten Island for years, specializing in diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders. Our team includes board-certified physicians who perform hundreds of EMG tests annually.
You’re not just another appointment on our schedule. We understand that you’re looking for answers, not just another referral to another specialist.
We use advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate results, and our staff explains everything in plain language so you actually understand what’s happening.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrical pulses are applied to your skin to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. It feels like a quick snap or static shock.
For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and most patients tolerate it well.
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You get results immediately, and we explain what we found and what it means for your treatment options.
