Precise nerve and muscle testing that ends the guesswork about what’s causing your pain, weakness, or numbness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the muscle weakness that comes and goes, the numbness that’s affecting your sleep – you need answers, not more speculation.
EMG testing gives you those answers. In about an hour, you’ll know whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, muscle disorder, or something else entirely. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or if they’ll get worse.
The relief that comes with a clear diagnosis is immediate. You can stop googling your symptoms at 2 AM and start focusing on the right treatment. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and have a clear path forward.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping Garwood residents get accurate diagnoses for their nerve and muscle problems for years. Our doctors specialize in spine and nerve conditions – we’re not generalists trying to figure it out as we go.
You’re not just getting a test. You’re getting an evaluation from specialists who understand exactly what we’re looking for and can explain what your results mean in terms you can actually understand.
Our practice focuses specifically on conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and muscles. That focused expertise makes a difference when you need answers about complex symptoms.
First, you’ll meet with our doctor to discuss your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’ve been experiencing and when it started to interpret the test results properly.
The EMG test itself has two parts. The nerve conduction study comes first – small electrodes placed on your skin measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Then comes the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode checks the electrical activity in your muscles.
Most people find the test more tolerable than they expected. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but it’s brief and manageable. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing.
Right after the test, you’ll sit down with our doctor to review the results. We’ll explain what the findings mean and discuss your treatment options. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and next steps.
Ready to get started?
You get both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. Many practices only offer one or the other, which means incomplete information about what’s causing your symptoms.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. If you’ve been told you might need surgery, this test often provides the definitive information needed to make that decision.
Insurance typically covers EMG testing when it’s medically necessary, and our office handles the authorization process. You’ll know upfront what your out-of-pocket costs will be.
The results go to your referring doctor, but you’ll also receive a copy with a clear explanation of the findings. No medical jargon that leaves you more confused than when you started.
