Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve and muscle problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness for months. Maybe your hands fall asleep at night, or your leg feels like it’s not getting the message from your brain. Previous doctors might have given you vague explanations or told you to “wait and see.”
Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic tests measure exactly how your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond. Instead of guessing, you get precise measurements that show where the problem is and how severe it really is.
When you know what’s actually happening in your body, you can make informed decisions about treatment. No more wondering if you’re imagining things or if the problem will get worse.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Northern New Jersey community with specialized neurological and spine care. We focus on accurate diagnosis using advanced testing methods that many local offices don’t offer.
We understand that nerve and muscle problems affect every aspect of your life. That’s why we use comprehensive diagnostic approaches to get to the root of your symptoms, not just treat what’s on the surface.
You don’t need to travel to Manhattan for quality neurological testing. Our Fairview location brings specialized diagnostic capabilities right to your community.
Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically includes two main components: electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies. The process is straightforward and much less uncomfortable than most people expect.
During nerve conduction testing, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit electrical signals. For EMG testing, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity both at rest and during contraction.
The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what the measurements mean for your condition and treatment options.
Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing is and relieved to finally have concrete answers about their symptoms.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a thorough evaluation designed to identify the specific location and severity of any dysfunction. This isn’t a quick screening – it’s a comprehensive assessment that examines multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, herniated disc complications, and various muscle disorders. Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and the areas of concern.
You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any areas of damage or dysfunction. This information becomes the foundation for your treatment plan, whether that involves physical therapy, medication, injections, or other interventions.
Our goal is giving you and your healthcare team the precise information needed to address your condition effectively.
