Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms for too long. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the numbness that comes and goes – you know something’s not right, but previous tests haven’t given you clear answers.
EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us precise information about what’s happening in your body. Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might not work, you get definitive results that point toward the right solution.
When your EMG test is complete, you’ll understand exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly. More importantly, you’ll know what steps to take next. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or if they’ll get worse over time.
We’ve been serving the Staten Island community for years, specializing in spine and nerve conditions that other practices often struggle to diagnose. Our physicians understand that when you’re dealing with nerve problems, you need answers – not more questions.
Our team focuses specifically on conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and muscles. This isn’t a general practice trying to handle everything. This is targeted expertise in exactly what you’re dealing with.
Located right here in Stapleton, you don’t need to travel to Manhattan for quality nerve testing. You get the same advanced diagnostic capabilities with the convenience of staying local.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation. The process involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing.
During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief sensations, but nothing painful. This part measures nerve function and identifies areas where signals aren’t traveling properly.
The electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity when your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. The needle insertion feels similar to getting blood drawn – brief and manageable.
Throughout the entire process, we explain what’s happening and what the results show. You’re not left wondering what the squiggly lines on the screen mean. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a clear understanding of your results and what they indicate about your condition.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach gives a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function, not just partial information.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. Whether your symptoms are in your hands, arms, legs, or back, EMG testing provides the diagnostic clarity you need.
You’ll receive detailed results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your specific situation. We’ll discuss treatment options and coordinate with your referring doctor to ensure you get appropriate follow-up care. No waiting weeks for results or trying to decode medical jargon on your own.
