Advanced EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or nerve problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. The numbness in your hands, the muscle weakness that comes and goes, the tingling that keeps you up at night – these aren’t things you should have to live with or wonder about.
EMG testing gives you definitive answers. When the test is complete, you’ll know exactly which nerves or muscles are affected, how severe the problem is, and what your treatment options look like. No more guessing games or trying treatments that might not work.
The relief that comes from finally understanding your condition is immediate. You can move forward with confidence, knowing your treatment plan is based on precise diagnostic information rather than trial and error.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive diagnostic services to patients throughout Riverfront and the surrounding Florida communities for years. We understand that by the time you’re getting an EMG test, you’ve probably been through a lot already.
You’re not just another appointment on our schedule. We take time to explain what we’re looking for, what the test involves, and what the results mean for your specific situation.
Our focus is on getting you accurate results and connecting you with the right treatment approach, whether that’s with our specialists here or coordinating with your other healthcare providers.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – most people describe it as similar to static electricity.
For the electromyography part, 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 while you’ll feel it, most patients tolerate it well.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, with a complete report available within a few days. We’ll explain what the findings mean and discuss your next steps before you leave.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give a complete picture of your neuromuscular function. The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and spinal nerve problems.
You’ll receive detailed results that show exactly which nerves or muscles are affected, the severity of any problems found, and whether the issue is getting worse or staying stable. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.
We coordinate with your referring physician and provide recommendations for next steps, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to other specialists. You won’t be left wondering what to do with your results.
