Advanced electromyography testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, arms, legs, or back. Maybe it’s numbness that comes and goes. Maybe it’s weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Maybe it’s tingling that keeps you awake at night.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing about nerve damage or muscle dysfunction, you get precise data about exactly which nerves aren’t working properly and why your muscles might be weak.
The relief that comes with a clear diagnosis changes everything. You can stop wondering if something serious is wrong. You can start making informed decisions about treatment. You can move forward with confidence instead of living in uncertainty about your symptoms.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Upper East Side community with specialized nerve and muscle diagnostic testing for years. Our team focuses specifically on spine-related neurological conditions, which means we see these symptoms every day.
When you’re dealing with nerve issues, you want someone who understands the nuances of electromyography testing. Our physicians are board-certified specialists who interpret EMG results as part of comprehensive spine care, not just isolated test readings.
Located conveniently in the Upper East Side, we offer the expertise you’d expect from a major medical center with the personalized attention and scheduling flexibility that busy Manhattan residents need.
EMG testing involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography. The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild shocks – uncomfortable but not painful.
Next is the electromyography portion. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle feels like a small pinch, similar to getting blood drawn. You’ll be asked to relax the muscle, then contract it gently while the machine records the signals.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. Most people find it more tolerable than they expected. You get results immediately – we review findings with you right after testing and explain what the patterns mean for your specific symptoms.

Our EMG testing at NY Spine Medicine covers both upper and lower extremity nerve conduction studies plus targeted muscle testing based on your symptoms. This includes testing for carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and other common nerve compression conditions.
You receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw data. We explain which specific nerves show abnormalities, how severe any damage might be, and what this means for your treatment options. We coordinate findings with any referring physicians and provide written reports for your medical records.
Our testing uses advanced electromyography equipment calibrated for accuracy and patient comfort. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and we work with most major insurance plans to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
