Professional electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, feet, or other areas for weeks or months. Maybe it’s numbness that won’t go away, tingling that keeps you awake, or muscle weakness that’s affecting your daily activities. Your regular doctor suspects a nerve problem, but you need concrete answers.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures how well your nerves and muscles are actually functioning, not just how they look on an X-ray or MRI. You’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.
The test results don’t just satisfy your curiosity. They give your doctor the precise information needed to create an effective treatment plan. Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might not work, you can move forward with confidence knowing exactly what you’re treating.
We have been providing comprehensive diagnostic services to patients throughout Santa Clara and the surrounding Florida communities for years. Our practice specializes in spine and nerve-related conditions, which means our physicians understand exactly what to look for during EMG testing.
Our team uses advanced electromyography equipment and follows strict protocols to ensure accurate results. Every test is performed by experienced professionals who take the time to explain what’s happening and answer your questions throughout the process.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting a thorough evaluation from specialists who see nerve and muscle disorders every day and know how to interpret even subtle findings that might be missed elsewhere.
The EMG test has two parts, and the whole process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. First comes the nerve conduction study, where small electrodes are placed on your skin over specific nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses as the equipment measures how fast and strong your nerve signals are.
Next is the needle EMG portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax the muscle, then contract it gently while the equipment records the signals. Yes, there’s some discomfort with the needle insertion, but most patients tolerate it well.
Throughout the test, our technician explains what they’re doing and what the readings mean. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what was found and what it means for your treatment options. The detailed report goes to your referring doctor so you can discuss next steps right away.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to give a complete picture of what’s happening with your nervous system. The nerve conduction portion tests how well electrical signals travel through your nerves, while the muscle testing evaluates how your muscles respond to nerve signals.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy from pinched nerves, and various muscle disorders. For Santa Clara residents dealing with repetitive strain injuries from work or neuropathy related to diabetes, this testing provides the objective evidence needed for proper treatment planning.
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report that documents all findings and recommendations. This report is essential if you’re dealing with workers’ compensation claims, disability applications, or personal injury cases where objective medical evidence is required. Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary.
