Professional electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained muscle weakness, shooting pains, or that frustrating numbness that comes and goes. Maybe your primary doctor suggested nerve testing, or you’re tired of guessing what’s causing your symptoms.
EMG testing gives you definitive answers. This diagnostic test measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, showing us exactly where the problem is and how severe it might be.
Within an hour, you’ll know if that tingling in your hands is carpal tunnel syndrome, if your back pain involves nerve compression, or if your muscle weakness has a treatable cause. No more wondering. No more conflicting opinions from different doctors.
We at NY Spine Medicine have been serving South Florida patients for years, specializing in spine care and pain management. We understand that when you’re dealing with nerve pain or muscle weakness, you need answers fast.
We use advanced EMG equipment and take the time to explain your results in plain language. You won’t leave our Normandy Shores office confused about your condition or what comes next.
Our specialists have performed thousands of these tests. We know what to look for, how to make the process comfortable, and how to give you the clear diagnosis you need to move forward with treatment.
The EMG test has two parts, and we’ll walk you through both before we start. First, we do the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes on your skin send mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but nothing painful.
Next comes the electromyography portion. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. The needle is very fine – most patients compare it to getting blood drawn. We test muscles both at rest and when you contract them.
The entire process takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.
Ready to get started?
Our EMG testing covers the full spectrum of nerve and muscle disorders. We test for carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in your spine, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, and muscle disorders that cause weakness or cramping.
You’ll receive both nerve conduction studies and electromyography in one appointment. We test multiple nerve pathways to get a complete picture of what’s happening in your body. This comprehensive approach means you won’t need to come back for additional testing.
After your test, you’ll receive a detailed report that your other doctors can use for treatment planning. We coordinate with your primary care physician, orthopedist, or neurologist to make sure everyone has the information they need to help you feel better.
