Advanced diagnostic 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 in your hands that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Pain that shoots down your leg but no one can tell you why.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the answers you need. These diagnostic tests measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. When something’s not working right, we can see exactly where the problem is and how severe it’s become.
The testing shows us if you’re dealing with nerve compression, muscle disorders, or neurological conditions that need specific treatment. No more guessing. No more trying treatments that don’t work because they’re targeting the wrong problem.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Forest Hills and the surrounding Queens community for years. Our team specializes in diagnosing complex nerve and muscle conditions that other doctors might miss or misunderstand.
We use advanced diagnostic equipment and proven testing protocols. Every test is performed by our experienced specialists who understand how to get accurate results and explain what they mean for your specific situation.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting answers from doctors who’ve seen thousands of cases like yours and know how to connect your symptoms to the right diagnosis.
The process starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Where exactly do you feel the problems? This information guides which tests you need.
EMG testing measures electrical activity in your muscles. Small electrodes are placed on your skin or thin needles are inserted into specific muscles. You’ll contract the muscle while we record the signals. This shows us if the muscle itself is damaged or if the problem is with the nerve controlling it.
Nerve conduction studies test how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves. Electrodes are placed along the nerve pathway and mild electrical pulses are sent through. We measure the speed and strength of the response. Slower or weaker signals tell us exactly where nerve damage is occurring.
Most testing takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You’ll get preliminary results immediately and a detailed report within a few days that explains what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Our testing covers both sensory and motor nerve function. Sensory tests check nerves that carry feeling and sensation. Motor tests evaluate nerves that control muscle movement and strength. This comprehensive approach catches problems that single tests might miss.
Forest Hills patients often come to us with conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or unexplained muscle weakness. Our testing can diagnose these conditions definitively and rule out other possibilities that might require different treatment approaches.
You’ll receive detailed results that show nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and areas of concern. The report includes recommendations for treatment options and any additional testing that might be helpful. Everything is explained in terms you can understand, not medical jargon that leaves you confused about your own condition.
