Advanced EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That numbness in your hands, the muscle weakness that’s affecting your work, or the nerve pain that keeps you up at night – you need real answers, not more guesswork.
EMG testing gives you those answers. Within minutes, we can identify exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly and why. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.
The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, creating a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. You’ll walk out knowing whether your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or compression issues – and more importantly, what can be done about it.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing accurate EMG diagnostic testing to South Grove Bayside residents for years. We understand that coming in for nerve testing often means you’ve already been through multiple appointments without clear answers.
That’s why we focus on thorough evaluation and clear communication. Every test is performed by specialists who explain what they’re doing and what the results mean for your specific situation.
We’ve built our reputation on giving patients the diagnostic clarity they need to move forward with confidence, whether that means targeted treatment or simply peace of mind.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation. The process involves two main components: nerve conduction studies and electromyography.
First, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how well your nerves transmit electrical signals. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity. This part identifies nerve damage or compression.
Next, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. While this sounds uncomfortable, most people find it much less painful than expected – similar to getting blood drawn. The needle detects whether your muscles are receiving proper nerve signals.
Throughout the entire process, our specialist explains what they’re seeing and answers any questions. Results are available immediately, so you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography to provide a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. This comprehensive approach catches issues that single-test methods might miss.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression issues. For South Grove Bayside residents dealing with repetitive strain injuries from desk work or active lifestyles, this precision is crucial for effective treatment planning.
You’ll receive detailed results explanation, written findings for your records, and specific recommendations for next steps. Whether that means physical therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or further specialist referral, you’ll have a clear path forward based on objective diagnostic data.
