Precise electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, weakness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with that strange tingling in your hands for months. Maybe it’s weakness in your legs that comes and goes. Or numbness that keeps you awake at night wondering what’s happening to your body.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. This electrodiagnostic test measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, pinpointing exactly where problems exist and what’s causing your symptoms.
Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might not work, you get a clear roadmap. Know whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, muscle disease, or something else entirely. Then you can move forward with the right treatment plan instead of wondering if your symptoms will get worse.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive neurological testing to Brooklyn residents for years. Our board-certified specialists understand that when you’re dealing with unexplained nerve symptoms, you need answers fast.
Located right in Gravesend, we focus specifically on spine and nerve conditions. You’re not just another patient in a busy hospital system. We take time to explain your results clearly and coordinate with your other doctors.
We accept most major insurance plans, and our staff handles authorization and billing so you can focus on getting better.
The EMG test has two parts that work together to give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function.
First is the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes placed on your skin send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks – uncomfortable for a second but not painful.
Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll contract certain muscles while the doctor listens to and records the signals. Most people find this less uncomfortable than they expected.
The entire test typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. Results are available immediately, and you’ll discuss findings with the doctor before leaving.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to evaluate the entire pathway from your brain to your muscles. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss.
The evaluation covers motor nerves that control muscle movement, sensory nerves that carry feeling, and the muscles themselves. Common conditions we diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy from pinched spinal nerves, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.
You receive a detailed report explaining the findings in plain language, plus recommendations for treatment or additional testing if needed. The results go directly to your referring physician, and our staff coordinates any follow-up care to keep your treatment moving forward smoothly.
