Precise EMG testing reveals what’s really causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness so you can move forward with confidence.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations, weakness, or pain that nobody seems to understand. EMG testing cuts through the guesswork by measuring exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning.
Within minutes, we can pinpoint whether your symptoms stem from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or something else entirely. No more wondering if that tingling in your hands is serious or if the weakness in your legs will get worse.
The test gives you concrete answers. You’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel, pinched nerves, neuropathy, or muscle disease. More importantly, you’ll understand what needs to happen next to get you feeling better.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Westchester patients with comprehensive spine and nerve care. Our board-certified specialists perform hundreds of EMG tests each year, so we know exactly what to look for.
We’ve seen every type of nerve and muscle condition you can imagine. That experience means we catch things other providers might miss and explain your results in terms that actually make sense.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting answers from doctors who understand how nerve problems affect your daily life and what it takes to fix them.
First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. Then we start with the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves.
Next comes the EMG portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll contract and relax different muscle groups while we measure the signals.
The whole process takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas we need to test. You might feel some mild discomfort, but most patients find it much easier than they expected. We explain everything as we go so you understand what each reading means for your condition.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your arms, legs, back, or neck.
You’ll get a detailed report explaining your nerve function, muscle response times, and any abnormalities we find. We don’t just hand you results and send you home. We sit down and explain what everything means in plain English.
If the test reveals treatable conditions, we’ll discuss your options right away. Many patients leave with a clear treatment plan the same day. For more complex cases, we’ll coordinate with other specialists to make sure you get the right care quickly.
