Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your symptoms, with results you can understand.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Maybe your fingers go numb at night, or your leg feels weak when you walk. You’ve tried explaining it to doctors, 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, showing us exactly where the problem is and how severe it is. No more guessing, no more “let’s wait and see.”
When we find the source of your nerve problems, you can move forward with confidence. You’ll know whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in your spine, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll have a clear path toward feeling better.
We’ve been serving patients in Union City and throughout New Jersey with specialized spine and nerve care. Our physicians are board-certified in spine medicine and have extensive experience performing electromyography testing.
We’ve seen thousands of patients who thought they’d never get answers about their nerve problems. Many come to us after months of uncertainty, frustrated with vague diagnoses or treatments that aren’t working.
Our approach is different. We use advanced EMG equipment to get precise measurements, and we take the time to explain your results in terms you can understand. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting clarity about your condition and a plan for what comes next.
Your EMG test starts with a consultation where we discuss your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’ve been experiencing and where you feel the problems most.
During the test itself, we place small electrodes on your skin over the muscles we need to examine. You’ll also have a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but most patients find it much more tolerable than they expected.
The entire process takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we need to test. We get results immediately, so you won’t leave wondering what we found. We’ll review everything with you right away and discuss what your results mean for your treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. We test the muscles and nerves most likely to be causing your symptoms, whether that’s in your arms, legs, back, or neck.
We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Our testing can distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial for determining the right treatment.
You’ll receive a detailed report of your results, plus our recommendations for next steps. If you need treatment, we can often provide that here at NY Spine Medicine. If you need a specialist referral, we’ll make sure you get to the right person with all the information they need to help you.
