EMG Testing Cobble Hill Brooklyn

Finally Know What's Wrong With Your Nerves

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for months. Maybe years. Previous doctors gave you generic explanations or told you to “wait and see.” That’s not good enough when your symptoms are affecting your work, sleep, and daily activities.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. Our electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. We can pinpoint compressed nerves, damaged muscle tissue, or circulation problems that other tests miss.

When you know the exact source of your symptoms, treatment becomes targeted and effective. No more guessing. No more temporary fixes. Just real solutions based on what your body is actually telling us through precise diagnostic testing.

Muscle Function Test Process Brooklyn

Simple Testing Process, Clear Results

Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. We need to understand your specific situation before we begin any testing.

During the EMG portion, we place small electrodes on your skin and insert thin needles into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how fast and effectively your nerves transmit signals. Most patients describe the sensation as brief and tolerable.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll receive your results immediately after testing, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options. We’ll also coordinate with your referring physician or recommend appropriate specialists based on your specific diagnosis.

Nerve Conduction Study Cobble Hill

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing You Can Trust

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies to give you the complete picture of your neuromuscular function. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and other conditions causing your symptoms.

You’ll work directly with experienced technicians and board-certified physicians who interpret your results in real-time. We don’t just hand you a report and send you on your way. We explain what your test results mean, answer your questions, and provide clear next steps for treatment.

Most insurance plans cover nerve and muscle testing when medically necessary. Our staff handles insurance authorization and billing directly, so you can focus on getting the answers you need rather than dealing with paperwork and phone calls.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt and how long does it take?

The testing involves some discomfort but most patients tolerate it well. During the nerve conduction study, you’ll feel small electrical pulses that might cause brief muscle twitching. The EMG uses thin needles in specific muscles, which feels like a quick pinch followed by mild pressure. The entire appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. Many patients say the temporary discomfort is worth finally getting clear answers about their symptoms.

What conditions can EMG and nerve conduction studies diagnose?

These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, pinched nerves in the neck or back, muscle disorders like myositis, peripheral neuropathy, and radiculopathy. We can also identify the difference between nerve compression, nerve damage, and muscle problems. If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or unexplained pain in your arms, legs, hands, or feet, nerve and muscle testing can often pinpoint the exact cause when other tests come back normal.

How should I prepare for my nerve and muscle testing appointment?

Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. 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 instructed otherwise. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. If you’re taking blood thinners, let us know in advance as we may need special precautions during the EMG portion of testing.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing in Brooklyn?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary for diagnosing your symptoms. We accept most major insurance plans and handle prior authorization when required. Our billing staff will verify your coverage before your appointment and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront. We also offer payment plans for patients with high deductibles or limited coverage. The key is having proper documentation of your symptoms and previous treatments that haven’t provided answers.

When will I get my test results and what happens next?

You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. Our physicians interpret the findings in real-time and explain what we discovered about your nerve and muscle function. We’ll discuss whether your symptoms match the test results and what treatment options are most appropriate for your specific condition. We can coordinate with your referring doctor, recommend specialists if needed, or discuss treatment options available right here at our practice. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps.

What makes NY Spine Medicine different for nerve testing in Brooklyn?

Our board-certified physicians are present during testing to ensure accurate results and provide immediate answers. We’re also located right here in Brooklyn, eliminating the need to travel to Manhattan for specialized testing. Our focus is on giving you definitive answers about your nerve and muscle function so you can move forward with effective treatment.
