EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing

Know Exactly What You're Dealing With

You’ve been living with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands. Weakness in your legs. Tingling that comes and goes. Other doctors have given you guesses, but you need facts.

Our nerve and muscle testing gives you those facts. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.

When you know what’s actually wrong, you can finally move forward with the right treatment. That means less time dealing with symptoms and more time getting back to what matters to you.

We've Been Solving These Puzzles for Years

NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Parkdale South community with precise diagnostic testing for over a decade. We’ve performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies, giving patients the clarity they need to move forward.

Nerve Function Test Process

Here's What Actually Happens During Testing

First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing your problems.

During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or mild static electricity. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles.

Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your next steps.

Complete Testing for Accurate Diagnosis

Our diagnostic testing covers the most common nerve and muscle disorders affecting Parkdale South residents. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and other conditions that cause numbness, tingling, or pain.

You’ll work with specialists who have seen these conditions hundreds of times before. We use the latest EMG and nerve conduction equipment to ensure accurate results, and we explain everything in plain language so you understand exactly what’s happening.

The testing is thorough enough to catch problems other doctors might miss, but efficient enough that you’re not here all day. We know you have other things to do besides sit in a medical office.

Does nerve and muscle testing hurt during the procedure?

Most patients describe the nerve conduction study as feeling like small taps or mild static electricity on the skin. The EMG portion involves a thin needle electrode that feels similar to getting blood drawn, but in your muscle instead of a vein. The discomfort is brief and manageable for most people. We work at your pace and can take breaks if needed. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and any discomfort stops immediately when testing is complete.

How long before I get my nerve and muscle test results?

You’ll get your results the same day as your testing. We review the data immediately after your procedure and explain what we found in plain language. We’ll tell you what conditions we ruled out, what we discovered, and what these findings mean for your treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and written results to share with your referring doctor or other specialists.

What conditions can EMG and nerve conduction studies detect?

These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, herniated disc nerve compression, and various other conditions causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. The testing measures how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond, which helps pinpoint exactly where problems are occurring. This is especially useful when symptoms could be caused by multiple different conditions that require different treatments.

Do I need to prepare anything special before nerve testing?

Avoid using lotions, oils, or creams on your skin the day of testing, as these can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. If you’re taking blood-thinning medications, let us know beforehand, but you typically don’t need to stop them. Bring a list of your current medications and any previous test results related to your symptoms. You can eat normally and continue your regular activities before and after testing.

Will my insurance cover nerve and muscle diagnostic testing?

Most insurance plans cover EMG and nerve conduction studies when they’re medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before your appointment. Our billing team can explain your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect. If you have questions about coverage for your specific situation, call us with your insurance information and we’ll check your benefits.

What happens after I get my nerve testing results?

We’ll send your detailed results to your referring doctor within 24 hours, along with our recommendations for next steps. Depending on what we find, treatment options might include physical therapy, medications, injections, or referral to a specialist for further treatment. Some conditions can be managed with conservative treatments, while others might require more specific interventions. Your referring doctor will use our findings to create a treatment plan that addresses the specific problems we identified during testing.
