Advanced electromyography testing reveals exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations for weeks or months. That tingling in your hands during work. The numbness that wakes you up at night. The muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating.
EMG testing ends the guesswork. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving your doctor the precise information needed to identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or muscle disorders.
Within hours of your test, you’ll have clear answers. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or if they’ll get worse. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and what treatment options will actually help your specific condition.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving East Harlem and surrounding NYC communities with comprehensive neurological care. We specialize in diagnostic testing that gives patients and their doctors the detailed information needed for effective treatment planning.
Our team includes board-certified neurologists who perform hundreds of EMG and nerve conduction studies each year. We understand that most patients feel anxious about electrodiagnostic testing, so we take time to explain each step and ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.
Located conveniently in East Harlem, we accept most major insurance plans and provide same-day results so you can move forward with treatment as quickly as possible.
Your EMG diagnostic testing begins with a consultation where our neurologist reviews your symptoms and medical history. We’ll explain which tests are needed and what to expect during the procedure.
The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how quickly signals travel through your nerves. This part takes about 15-20 minutes and feels like small static shocks.
Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently. The entire EMG and nerve testing process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation.
Your neurologist reviews the results immediately and explains what the findings mean for your specific situation. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps for treatment.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to provide a complete picture of your neuromuscular health. The nerve conduction portion evaluates how well electrical signals travel through your peripheral nerves, while the needle EMG measures muscle response and activity.
This comprehensive approach allows our neurologist to distinguish between nerve problems, muscle disorders, and conditions affecting the connection between nerves and muscles. Common conditions we diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness disorders, and various forms of peripheral neuropathy.
You’ll receive detailed results the same day, along with a thorough explanation of findings and recommendations for treatment. We perform the testing using advanced electrodiagnostic equipment that ensures accurate measurements while minimizing discomfort.
