Expert electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations, unexplained weakness, or nagging pain for weeks or months. Your doctor suspects a nerve problem, but you need answers, not more guessing.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, showing us exactly where the problem is and how severe it might be. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.
Within an hour, you’ll have clear data about your condition. Your referring doctor gets a detailed report, and you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what you’re dealing with and what comes next.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive diagnostic testing to New York City patients for years. Our neurologists interpreting your EMG results are board-certified specialists who understand exactly what to look for in your test data.
Located in the heart of the Garment District, we serve patients throughout Manhattan who need expert nerve and muscle testing. Every test is performed with precision, and every result is thoroughly reviewed by our experienced physicians who know how to translate complex data into clear answers.
You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting expertise that helps move your treatment forward.
The EMG test has two parts, and both are designed to give your doctor complete information about your nerve and muscle function.
First comes the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how quickly signals travel through your nerves. This part shows us if your nerves are transmitting signals normally or if there’s damage slowing things down.
Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This sounds uncomfortable, but most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The needle shows us whether your muscles are responding properly to nerve signals.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas need testing. You’ll get preliminary results right away, and your complete report goes to your referring doctor within 24 hours.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography in one comprehensive appointment. This combination gives your doctor the complete picture needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
The testing covers whatever areas your doctor has specified – whether that’s checking for carpal tunnel syndrome in your hands, investigating sciatica in your legs, or evaluating muscle weakness in multiple locations. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and concerns.
You’ll receive clear explanations throughout the process, immediate discussion of preliminary findings, and detailed written results sent directly to your referring physician. We accept most major insurance plans, and our central Garment District location makes scheduling convenient for busy New Yorkers.
