Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, and weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes simple tasks frustrating. Tingling in your legs that keeps you up at night. Weakness that’s affecting your work and daily activities.
EMG testing gives you the precise diagnosis you need to move forward. No more guessing about whether it’s a pinched nerve, muscle disorder, or something else entirely. The test measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, identifying exactly where the problem lies.
With clear results in hand, you can finally stop wondering and start treating the real cause of your symptoms. You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a herniated disc pressing on nerves, peripheral neuropathy, or another condition that’s been disrupting your life.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout Roxbury and the surrounding New York communities with comprehensive spine and nerve care. We specialize in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of complex neuromuscular conditions.
We understand that getting to the root of nerve and muscle problems requires both advanced diagnostic capabilities and the experience to interpret results correctly. We’ve helped countless patients finally get answers about symptoms that other providers couldn’t explain.
Every EMG test is performed by our specialists who focus specifically on spine medicine and pain management, ensuring you get the expertise your condition deserves.
The EMG testing process is straightforward and typically takes 30-60 minutes. First, you’ll have a consultation where our specialist reviews your symptoms and medical history to determine which nerves and muscles need testing.
During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like mild static electricity and helps identify nerve damage or compression.
The electromyography portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. While you might feel some discomfort, most patients find it much more tolerable than expected. Our specialist will explain what we’re finding throughout the test, so you understand what’s happening in real time.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing appointment includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to give a complete picture of your neuromuscular function. The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of your results immediately after the test, not weeks later. Our specialist will walk you through exactly what the findings mean for your condition and discuss treatment options that make sense for your specific situation.
The testing integrates seamlessly with NY Spine Medicine’s comprehensive treatment approach, so if you need follow-up care like injections, physical therapy, or other interventions, everything can be coordinated through our practice. This eliminates the frustration of bouncing between different providers who don’t communicate with each other.
