Finally Know What's Really Wrong

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness long enough. Maybe you’ve had inconclusive tests or doctors who couldn’t pinpoint the problem. EMG testing changes that by measuring the electrical activity in your nerves and muscles with precision that other tests can’t match.

When the test is complete, you’ll have concrete answers about nerve damage, muscle disorders, or compression issues. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and can make informed decisions about treatment.

The relief isn’t just physical—it’s mental. Patients tell us that finally having a clear diagnosis lifts a weight they didn’t realize they were carrying.

EMG and Nerve Conduction Study Process

What to Expect During Testing

Our EMG testing process starts with a consultation where you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. This helps us target the testing to your specific concerns rather than running unnecessary tests.

During the nerve conduction study portion, small electrical pulses are applied to your skin to measure how quickly signals travel through your nerves. It feels like a mild shock but only lasts a few seconds. The electromyography portion involves inserting thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a complete report and treatment recommendations within a few days. Our goal is to give you actionable information, not just data.

Comprehensive EMG Diagnostic Testing Services

Complete Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Our EMG testing at NY Spine Medicine includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss and gives a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.

Testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc complications, and muscle disorders. Our equipment is calibrated regularly and operated by specialists who perform these tests daily, not occasionally.

You’ll receive a detailed report that explains the findings in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment. Whether that means physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to a surgeon, you’ll know exactly what your options are and why each one makes sense for your situation.

How painful is EMG testing and what should I expect?

EMG testing involves some discomfort but most patients tolerate it well. The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical shocks that last just a few seconds. The needle EMG feels similar to getting blood drawn or receiving an injection. The needles are very thin and only go into the muscle briefly. Most people say the anticipation is worse than the actual test. The entire process takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when the test ends. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities right away.

What conditions can EMG testing diagnose?

EMG testing can diagnose a wide range of nerve and muscle problems including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc nerve compression, pinched nerves, muscle weakness disorders, and nerve damage from injuries. It’s particularly useful for determining the exact location and severity of nerve problems when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. The test can also rule out certain conditions, which is just as valuable as confirming a diagnosis. This helps avoid unnecessary treatments and guides you toward the most effective care.

How long does it take to get EMG test results?

You’ll get preliminary results immediately after your EMG test. We will explain what we found during the testing and give you an initial assessment. The complete written report with detailed findings and treatment recommendations is typically available within 2-3 business days. This report goes to you and your referring physician so everyone is on the same page about next steps. If urgent findings require immediate attention, you’ll be contacted the same day. Our goal is to get you moving toward treatment as quickly as possible rather than leaving you waiting and wondering.

Do I need to prepare for an EMG test?

Preparation for EMG testing is minimal. Don’t use lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of the test as they can interfere with the electrical readings. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless specifically told otherwise. If you’re on blood thinners, let our office know when scheduling. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. The most important preparation is coming with questions about your symptoms so we can target the testing appropriately.

Will my insurance cover EMG testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose nerve or muscle problems. This includes Medicare and most major private insurance companies. Our office will verify your coverage before the appointment and let you know about any copays or deductibles. If you need prior authorization, we’ll handle that process. For patients without insurance or with high deductibles, payment plans may be available. The key is having proper documentation of your symptoms and a referral from your doctor when required by your insurance plan.

What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?

EMG and nerve conduction studies test different parts of your nervous system but are often done together for a complete picture. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using surface electrodes on your skin. EMG measures the electrical activity inside your muscles using thin needles. Nerve conduction studies are better for diagnosing problems like carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathy, while EMG is better for muscle disorders or nerve root problems from herniated discs. Doing both tests together helps pinpoint exactly where the problem is and how severe it is, leading to more accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning.
