Precise EMG testing that identifies exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes typing difficult. Tingling in your legs that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that’s affecting your daily routine.
EMG testing gives you the diagnostic clarity you need. This comprehensive electromyography evaluation measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, pinpointing exactly where the problem originates.
When you know what’s actually wrong, you can stop wondering and start treating the real issue. No more guessing games or trial-and-error approaches that waste your time and money.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing specialized neurological testing to the Rockaway Beach community for years. Our team includes board-certified neurologists who understand exactly how to interpret EMG results and explain what they mean for your specific situation.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting expertise from doctors who have performed thousands of electromyography procedures and know how to make the process as comfortable as possible.
We use advanced EMG equipment that provides the most accurate results, giving you and your referring physician the detailed information needed to create an effective treatment plan.
First, you’ll meet with our neurologist who explains the procedure and answers any questions. The EMG test itself has two parts: nerve conduction study and needle electromyography.
During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses measure how well your nerves transmit signals. This part feels like small static shocks and takes about 15-20 minutes.
The needle EMG involves inserting thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax and then gently contract certain muscles. Most patients find this less uncomfortable than they expected.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. Results are available immediately, and your doctor will explain what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one comprehensive appointment. This combination provides the most complete picture of your neurological function.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated discs affecting nerve function, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. You’ll receive detailed results that your referring physician can use to develop your treatment plan.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary. Our office handles insurance verification and billing, so you can focus on getting the answers you need about your condition.
