EMG Testing Hell's Kitchen NY

Know What You're Dealing With

You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for too long without real answers. Maybe previous doctors brushed off your symptoms or ordered tests that didn’t reveal anything useful.

Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic studies show exactly where the problem is coming from – whether it’s a pinched nerve, muscle disorder, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can finally move forward with treatment that works. No more guessing. No more trying random treatments that don’t address the root cause.

Nerve Testing Specialists Manhattan

We've Been Diagnosing Complex Cases for Years

We’ve been serving Hell’s Kitchen and Manhattan patients who need answers about their nerve and muscle problems. We see the cases that other doctors can’t figure out – the chronic pain that won’t go away, the weakness that’s getting worse, the symptoms that don’t fit into neat categories.

Our specialists understand that accurate diagnosis is everything. Without it, you’re just treating symptoms instead of solving the actual problem.

We use the most advanced diagnostic equipment available and take the time to explain exactly what we find and what it means for your treatment.

Nerve Conduction Study Process NYC

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. Then we perform the actual testing, which typically includes both EMG (electromyography) and nerve conduction studies.

During nerve conduction testing, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how well your nerves transmit signals. For EMG testing, we use a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles.

The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. Most patients describe it as uncomfortable but not painful. We get results immediately and can discuss what we found right after the test is complete.

How painful is EMG and nerve conduction testing?

Most patients describe nerve conduction testing as feeling like small electrical pulses or static shocks – uncomfortable but brief. EMG testing involves thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. The discomfort is temporary and most people tolerate it well. We explain everything as we go and can adjust the testing if you’re having trouble with discomfort. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops as soon as the test is finished.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle testing?

Most major insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. We accept most insurance plans and handle the prior authorization process if your plan requires it. Our billing team will verify your coverage before your appointment and let you know about any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about your specific coverage, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits.

How long does it take to get results from the test?

You get results immediately after testing is complete. We review the findings with you right away and explain what they mean in terms you can understand. You’ll leave knowing exactly what the test showed and what the next steps should be. We also send a detailed report to your referring doctor the same day. There’s no waiting weeks for results or wondering what the test revealed – you get answers during your visit.

What conditions can nerve and muscle testing diagnose?

These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disorders, herniated disc nerve compression, sciatica, and many other conditions causing nerve or muscle problems. The testing shows exactly where nerve damage or muscle dysfunction is occurring and how severe it is. This helps determine whether your symptoms are coming from nerve compression, muscle disease, or other causes. Having a precise diagnosis means you can get treatment that actually addresses the root problem instead of just managing symptoms.

Do I need to prepare anything special before the test?

Avoid using lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing since they can interfere with the electrodes. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know ahead of time. You can eat normally and take your regular medications unless we specifically tell you otherwise. The main thing is to arrive with clean skin and clothing that won’t get in the way of electrode placement.

What happens after I get my test results?

Once we know exactly what’s causing your symptoms, we discuss your treatment options based on the findings. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or other treatments depending on your specific condition. We coordinate with your other doctors to make sure everyone is working from the same diagnostic information. Many patients feel relieved just knowing what they’re dealing with after months or years of uncertainty. Having a clear diagnosis means you can finally move forward with treatment that targets the actual problem.
