Advanced EMG testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with that tingling in your hands for months. Or maybe it’s the shooting pain down your leg that keeps you up at night. The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves.
EMG testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing whether you have carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious, you’ll know exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles. The test measures electrical activity in your muscles and how well your nerves are conducting signals.
Within minutes of completing your EMG and nerve conduction study, you’ll understand whether your symptoms are caused by nerve compression, muscle disorders, or other neuromuscular conditions. No more wondering if that numbness will get worse or if you’re dealing with permanent damage.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Whitestone and greater Queens community with specialized diagnostic services for years. We focus specifically on spine and neuromuscular conditions, which means we see cases like yours every day.
Our physicians are board-certified specialists who understand that getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward feeling better. We’ve performed thousands of EMG tests and nerve conduction studies, giving us the experience to interpret even subtle findings that might be missed elsewhere.
Located right in Whitestone, we provide convenient access to advanced diagnostic testing without the hassle of traveling into Manhattan.
Your EMG testing appointment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The process involves two parts: nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing.
First, small electrodes are placed on your skin over the nerves being tested. Mild electrical pulses measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. This part feels like small static shocks and helps identify nerve compression or damage.
Next, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. The needle is much thinner than those used for blood draws, and while you’ll feel it, most patients find it less uncomfortable than expected. You’ll be asked to relax and then gently contract certain muscles so we can evaluate muscle and nerve function.
Results are available immediately. We’ll explain what the findings mean for your specific symptoms and discuss treatment options based on the diagnosis.
Ready to get started?
Your EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies in one comprehensive appointment. This combination provides a complete picture of your neuromuscular function, identifying issues that might be missed with just one type of testing.
The evaluation covers the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s testing for carpal tunnel syndrome in your hands and wrists, evaluating sciatica in your lower back and legs, or investigating muscle weakness in other areas. Each test is customized based on your symptoms and our clinical assessment.
You’ll receive detailed results interpretation, not just raw data. We explain what normal versus abnormal findings mean for your condition and how the results guide your treatment plan. Many patients leave with a clear understanding of their diagnosis for the first time in months.
