Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints nerve and muscle problems so you can move forward with confidence.
Reviews
You’re dealing with numbness in your hands during meetings. Tingling in your legs when you walk. Muscle weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. These aren’t just minor inconveniences—they’re disrupting your life, and you need answers.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, identifying exactly where problems exist. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome from years at a desk, a pinched nerve in your back, or peripheral neuropathy, electromyography testing reveals what’s happening beneath the surface.
The real benefit isn’t just getting a diagnosis—it’s finally understanding why you feel the way you do and having a clear path forward. No more wondering if symptoms will get worse. No more avoiding activities because you’re unsure what’s safe. Just concrete information that lets you and your doctor create an effective treatment plan.

Experience matters when it comes to EMG testing and nerve conduction studies. These procedures require precision, proper technique, and the ability to interpret results accurately. You’re getting specialists who perform these diagnostics regularly and understand the subtle differences that lead to correct diagnoses.
EMG testing involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography. The nerve conduction portion comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. This identifies nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.
The electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity when muscles are at rest and when they contract. It sounds more uncomfortable than it actually is—most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. If the EMG test reveals a condition requiring treatment, we’ll discuss your options and coordinate any necessary referrals immediately.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing appointment includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one session. The diagnostic evaluation covers the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s hands and arms for suspected carpal tunnel, legs for sciatica concerns, or multiple areas for more complex conditions.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when medically necessary, and our staff handles authorization requirements. You’ll receive detailed results documentation for your records and any specialists who may be involved in your care.
Our Midtown location makes scheduling convenient for busy professionals. Early morning and evening appointments are available to minimize disruption to your work schedule. Same-day results mean you’re not waiting weeks to understand what’s causing your symptoms and what steps to take next.
