Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes typing difficult. Muscle weakness that wasn’t there six months ago. Tingling that keeps you awake at night.
EMG testing gives you the diagnostic clarity you need. Instead of guessing or waiting months for answers, you get precise information about how your nerves and muscles are functioning. The test identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, and neuropathy before they progress.
Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their condition and a roadmap for treatment. No more wondering if the problem is serious or if you’re imagining things.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive nerve and muscle testing to Brooklyn residents for years. We focus specifically on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect your daily function and quality of life.
Our team includes board-certified specialists who perform hundreds of EMG tests annually. We understand that you’re not just looking for test results—you want answers that lead to effective treatment. Every test is performed with precision and explained in terms you can actually understand.
Located in Carroll Gardens, we serve patients throughout Brooklyn who want specialized care without traveling to Manhattan.
The EMG test has two parts that work together to give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. First comes the nerve conduction study, where small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like mild static electricity.
Next is the needle EMG, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax and then gently contract the muscle while the activity is measured. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You get results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your treatment options.
