Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. That tingling in your hands during the night. The weakness in your leg that comes and goes. The burning sensation that no one seems to understand.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing about what’s causing your symptoms, you get objective data that shows exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning.
When you know what you’re dealing with, you can make informed decisions about treatment. No more wondering if it’s serious. No more trying treatments that might not even address the real problem. Just clear information that helps you move forward with confidence.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing diagnostic testing and spine care to Northern New Jersey for years. We understand that getting an EMG test can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already dealing with uncomfortable symptoms.
What sets our practice apart is our focus on patient education. You won’t leave wondering what the results mean or what happens next. We take time to explain findings in plain language and discuss realistic treatment options.
Our Teaneck location serves patients throughout Bergen County who need reliable nerve and muscle testing without the hassle of traveling to New York City.
The EMG test has two parts. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves send signals. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks – uncomfortable but not painful.
Next is the electromyography portion, where thin needles are inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needles are much thinner than typical injection needles. Most patients describe it as similar to acupuncture.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, with a complete report available within 24 hours. We’ll explain what the findings mean and discuss next steps for your specific situation.

Your EMG testing appointment includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing. This combination provides a complete picture of nerve and muscle function in the affected areas.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, and nerve compression syndromes. Many patients come in with vague symptoms and leave with a clear understanding of their condition.
You’ll receive detailed results explanation, written report for your records, and treatment recommendations based on the findings. We coordinate with your other healthcare providers when needed to ensure continuity of care.
