Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations for weeks or months. That tingling in your hands that won’t go away. The numbness in your feet that makes you worry about every step. The muscle weakness that has you second-guessing your grip on everything from coffee cups to car keys.
EMG testing gives you the definitive answers you need. This electrodiagnostic test measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, identifying exactly where problems exist and what’s causing your symptoms.
No more wondering if it’s serious. No more sleepless nights googling symptoms. You’ll walk out knowing whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, peripheral neuropathy, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll know exactly what to do about it.
We’ve been providing comprehensive spine and nerve care to the Bronx community for years. Our physicians don’t just run tests and hand you results. We take time to explain what everything means in terms you can understand.
You’re not dealing with a testing mill that rushes you through. Our team has performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies. We know the difference between normal variations and real problems.
When you need answers about nerve and muscle function, you want doctors who’ve seen it all and can spot what others might miss.
The process starts with nerve conduction testing. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like small taps or light static shocks. Nothing painful, just noticeable.
Next comes the EMG portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Yes, there are needles involved, but they’re much thinner than what you’d get for blood work. Most people describe it as brief pinching sensations.
The entire test typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll see the results in real-time on the computer screen, and we explain findings as the test progresses. By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of your nerve and muscle function plus recommendations for next steps.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach evaluates nerve function from your spine all the way to your fingertips or toes, depending on your symptoms.
The testing covers motor nerves that control muscle movement, sensory nerves that handle feeling and sensation, and muscle response patterns. This thorough evaluation helps distinguish between nerve compression, nerve damage, muscle disorders, and other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
You’ll receive detailed results interpretation immediately after testing, plus a comprehensive report for your records and referring physician. We also provide clear guidance on whether your condition requires treatment, monitoring, or additional testing. No waiting weeks for results or wondering what everything means.
