Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or unexplained pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms for months. The numbness in your hands keeps you awake. The muscle weakness makes simple tasks frustrating. Your primary care doctor ran basic tests, but you still don’t have real answers.
EMG testing changes that. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, giving us precise information about what’s actually happening in your body. Instead of guessing or trying treatments that might work, you get a clear picture of nerve function and muscle health.
When the test is complete, you’ll understand whether your symptoms stem from nerve compression, muscle disorders, or other neurological conditions. That clarity becomes your roadmap to the right treatment, whether it’s physical therapy, medication, or surgical intervention.
We’ve been serving North Jersey patients for years, specializing in complex spine and nerve conditions that other practices often struggle to diagnose. Our team includes board-certified specialists who perform hundreds of EMG tests annually.
Location matters when you’re dealing with nerve problems. Instead of traveling to Manhattan for testing, you can get the same level of expertise right here in Kearny. We maintain relationships with referring physicians throughout Hudson County, ensuring your results get back to your doctor quickly.
You’re not just another test on our schedule. Each EMG evaluation includes time to explain your results, answer questions, and discuss next steps for your specific situation.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. The process involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography.
During nerve conduction testing, we place small electrodes on your skin. Mild electrical pulses stimulate specific nerves while sensors measure how quickly and effectively signals travel. This shows whether nerves are functioning normally or if there’s damage, compression, or disease affecting nerve transmission.
The electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity both when muscles are at rest and during contraction. Abnormal patterns help identify muscle disorders, nerve damage, or problems with nerve-muscle communication.
Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable but tolerable. The electrical stimulation feels like small shocks, while the needle insertion is similar to getting blood drawn. Results are often available immediately, with a detailed report sent to your referring physician within 24 hours.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one appointment. This comprehensive approach provides a complete picture of nerve and muscle function, rather than partial information that might miss important details.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve entrapment syndromes. For Kearny residents dealing with work-related repetitive strain injuries or age-related nerve changes, this testing often provides the definitive answers needed for proper treatment.
Each test is customized based on your symptoms and suspected conditions. Someone with hand numbness gets different nerve testing than someone with leg weakness. This targeted approach ensures you get relevant information without unnecessary testing, keeping your appointment efficient while still being thorough.
Results include specific measurements of nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and detailed analysis of any abnormalities found. We translate this technical data into clear explanations of what’s wrong and what treatment options make sense for your situation.
