Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Muscle weakness that comes and goes. Numbness in your hands or feet that your doctor can’t explain. Tingling that keeps you awake at night.
EMG testing gives you the answers you need. This diagnostic test measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, identifying exactly where the problem lies.
When you know what’s causing your symptoms, you can stop wondering and start treating. No more guessing. No more waiting for answers that never come. Just clear, precise information about your nerve and muscle function that leads to a real treatment plan.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive diagnostic testing to Staten Island patients for years. We specialize in spine and nerve conditions, understanding exactly how these systems work together.
Located right in Tompkinsville, we serve patients throughout Staten Island who need accurate nerve and muscle testing. Our physicians are board-certified and experienced in interpreting EMG results, ensuring you get both precise testing and expert analysis.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting answers from doctors who understand what your results mean for your specific situation.
Your EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. The nerve conduction study comes first, where small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves.
Next is the electromyography portion, where a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. This shows whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a consultation to explain what the findings mean. Your referring doctor also receives a detailed report with recommendations for next steps.
Most patients find the test more comfortable than they expected. There’s some mild discomfort, but nothing that prevents you from driving home or returning to normal activities immediately after.

Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies. This combination gives a complete picture of how your nervous system is functioning.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, herniated discs affecting nerve function, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle disorders. It’s particularly useful for patients with unexplained weakness, numbness, or pain that might be nerve-related.
You’ll receive same-day results with a thorough explanation of findings. The detailed report goes to your referring physician with specific recommendations for treatment or additional testing if needed. This coordinated approach ensures you get the right care based on accurate diagnostic information.
