At UWP, we are committed to providing comprehensive care under one roof. We are proud to announce our partnership with HandsOn EMG Testing, an EDX Accredited Laboratory, to bring advanced diagnostic services directly to our facility. By integrating "Healing Hands Guided by Technology," we can now offer precise testing to evaluate muscle and nerve function without sending you to external imaging centers.
Common Symptoms & Conditions Your primary care doctor may recommend this testing if you are experiencing: Persistent Pain: Chronic back or neck pain, or Sciatica . Nerve Issues: Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in hands or feet. Muscle Concerns: Unexplained muscle weakness, cramping, or twitching.
Stay Local No need to travel to external imaging centers. We offer these tests right here in Bushwick for a safer, more comfortable experience. Better Outcomes Research shows that 62% of patients who receive EMG/NCS testing have better recovery outcomes and success in managing their condition.

These two tests are often performed together to give a complete picture of your nerve and muscle health:
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) measure the health and speed of your nerves.
Electromyography (EMG) evaluates the integrity of your muscles. Together, they help us localize issues related to the neuromuscular system
Doctors typically recommend this testing for:
Back or neck pain.
Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations.
Muscle weakness or cramping.
Sciatica or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Consult Your Doctor: Talk to your UWP primary care provider about your symptoms.
