Professional EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, or the persistent numbness that’s affecting your daily life deserves real answers.
EMG testing gives you those answers. This diagnostic procedure measures the electrical activity in your muscles and nerves, revealing exactly where problems exist and how severe they are. Instead of guessing or managing symptoms blindly, you get a clear picture of what’s happening in your body.
With accurate results, your doctor can create a targeted treatment plan. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or another nerve condition, proper diagnosis means proper treatment. You can move forward with confidence, knowing you’re addressing the root cause of your discomfort.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Richmond Valley and Staten Island community with specialized diagnostic testing for years. We focus specifically on spine and nerve conditions, which means our team understands exactly what you’re going through.
Our physicians are board-certified specialists who perform EMG testing regularly. We’ve diagnosed thousands of nerve and muscle conditions, from common issues like carpal tunnel syndrome to complex neurological disorders. This isn’t a side service – it’s a core part of what we do every day.
Located conveniently in Richmond Valley, patients no longer need to travel to Manhattan for quality EMG testing. You get the same level of expertise and advanced equipment, right in your neighborhood.
EMG testing involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation.
First, the nerve conduction study measures how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test nerve function. You’ll feel brief, mild sensations – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity.
Next, the electromyography portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure muscle electrical activity. The needle is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical signals both at rest and during contraction. While you might feel some discomfort, most patients tolerate the procedure well.
Throughout the test, our physician explains what’s happening and what the results show. You’ll receive detailed results and recommendations for next steps, whether that’s treatment options or referrals to other specialists.
