Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained numbness in your hands. Or that tingling in your legs that keeps you up at night. Maybe it’s weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Within an hour, you’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or muscle disorders. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s “all in your head.”
The relief that comes with a clear diagnosis changes everything. You can stop worrying about worst-case scenarios and start focusing on the right treatment. Your symptoms have a name, and more importantly, they have a solution.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping South Jamaica residents get to the bottom of their nerve problems for years. We don’t just run tests – we interpret results in plain English.
You’re not getting shuffled between specialists or waiting months for answers. We understand that nerve symptoms disrupt your work, your sleep, and your peace of mind. We’ve built our practice around getting you diagnosed quickly and accurately.
The EMG test has two parts, and neither one is as uncomfortable as you might think. First comes the nerve conduction study. Small electrodes go on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test how fast signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel tiny zaps – like static electricity.
Next is the needle EMG. Hair-thin needles go into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. Yes, there are needles, but most people say it feels like getting blood drawn. Our neurologist watches your muscle activity on a screen in real-time.
The whole thing takes 30 to 60 minutes. You get results immediately, not days later. We explain what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography. The nerve conduction portion tests how well electrical signals move through your nerves. The needle EMG measures muscle response and activity.
Most insurance plans cover EMG testing when you have symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or unexplained pain. The testing identifies conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders.
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and specific next steps. Whether that’s physical therapy, medication, or discussing surgical options, you’ll know exactly where you stand.
