Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or nerve pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations for weeks or months. Maybe it’s numbness in your hands that won’t go away. Or muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Perhaps shooting pain down your leg that no one can explain.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing about nerve damage or muscle disorders, you get precise measurements of how your nerves and muscles actually function. The test identifies exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.
With clear diagnostic results, you can move forward with the right treatment plan. No more wondering if symptoms are “in your head” or if you need to see another specialist. You’ll know what you’re dealing with and what steps come next.
We’ve been serving the Bellerose community and surrounding Queens and Nassau County areas for years. Our practice focuses specifically on spine and nerve conditions, which means our team sees cases like yours regularly.
Our neurologists understand that getting an EMG test often comes after months of uncertainty. We take time to explain what we’re looking for, what the test involves, and what your results actually mean for your daily life.
You’re not just another appointment on our schedule. You’re someone who deserves clear answers and a path forward.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves two main parts. First is the nerve conduction study, where small electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks that measure nerve speed and strength.
The second part is electromyography, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This shows whether muscle problems stem from the muscle itself or from nerve issues controlling it.
Throughout the test, our neurologist explains what they’re seeing in real time. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a complete analysis and recommendations provided before you leave. Most patients find the test much less uncomfortable than they expected.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography in one appointment. This comprehensive approach evaluates nerve function from your spine all the way to your muscles, identifying problems anywhere along that pathway.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, muscle diseases, and spinal nerve compression. For Bellerose residents dealing with repetitive strain from commuting or desk work, EMG testing often reveals exactly which nerves are affected and how severely.
Results are interpreted by our board-certified neurologists who specialize in these conditions. You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your diagnosis in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment options that make sense for your lifestyle and goals.
