Precise nerve and muscle testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Weakness that your doctor can’t explain. Tingling that keeps you awake at night.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. This diagnostic procedure measures how well your nerves and muscles communicate, showing us exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.
Instead of guessing about treatments or wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head,” you’ll have objective data that guides your next steps. No more trial-and-error approaches or treatments that don’t address the real issue.
We’ve been providing comprehensive neurological diagnostics to South Florida patients for years. Our team understands that EMG testing can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already dealing with uncomfortable symptoms.
Each test is performed by our board-certified specialists who explain every step of the process. You’re not just getting a procedure – you’re getting answers from doctors who’ve diagnosed thousands of nerve and muscle conditions.
Our Vizcaya location serves patients throughout Miami-Dade County with the same level of expertise you’d expect from a major medical center, but with the personal attention of a specialized practice.
The EMG test has two parts: nerve conduction study and electromyography. During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin and mild electrical pulses measure how fast signals travel through your nerves.
For the electromyography portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. You’ll be asked to relax certain muscles, then contract them gently while the machine records the signals.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. Most patients describe the sensation as uncomfortable but tolerable – similar to getting blood drawn or receiving acupuncture. You’ll receive results immediately and discuss what they mean for your treatment plan.

Your EMG testing includes both nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography to give a complete picture of your neuromuscular function. We test specific nerve pathways based on your symptoms – whether that’s checking for carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, or radiculopathy from a herniated disc.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining the findings in terms you can understand, not just medical jargon. The results show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally and how severe the problem is.
This information becomes the foundation for your treatment plan. Instead of generic approaches, your doctor can recommend targeted therapies, medications, or procedures based on objective data about your specific condition.
