Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that reveals exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Your symptoms are real, but you need answers about what’s actually happening in your body.
Our comprehensive nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll know if there’s nerve damage, where it’s located, and how severe it is.
Most patients leave with a clear understanding of their condition and a realistic picture of their treatment options. No more guessing. No more wondering if your symptoms will get worse. Just solid information you can use to make informed decisions about your care.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout the Bronx and Williamsbridge area with specialized diagnostic testing for nerve and muscle disorders. Our physicians are board-certified and have performed thousands of EMG and nerve conduction studies.
We understand that you’re looking for answers, not just another test. That’s why we take time to explain your results in plain language and coordinate with your referring physician to ensure you get the right treatment.
You’re not just a number here. We know that dealing with nerve symptoms can be frustrating and scary, and we’re committed to giving you the clarity you need to move forward.
Your nerve and muscle evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes and involves two main components. First, we perform nerve conduction studies by placing small electrodes on your skin and sending mild electrical impulses to measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals.
Next, we conduct electromyography using a thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals and helps identify the specific location of any problems.
Most patients find the testing tolerable, though you may feel some mild discomfort during the needle portion. We explain each step as we go and can adjust our approach if you’re sensitive. You’ll get your results immediately after testing, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.
Ready to get started?
Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a complete picture of your neuromuscular function.
You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any areas of concern. We also provide a comprehensive report for your referring physician with specific recommendations for treatment or additional testing if needed.
Many of our Williamsbridge patients appreciate that we coordinate directly with their primary care doctors, orthopedists, or neurologists to ensure seamless follow-up care. We accept most major insurance plans and provide clear information about any out-of-pocket costs before your appointment.
