Advanced EMG and nerve conduction testing reveals exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations for months. Tingling in your hands that won’t go away. Weakness in your legs that makes climbing stairs difficult. Numbness that keeps you awake at night wondering what’s happening to your body.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the concrete answers you need. Instead of guessing or waiting for symptoms to worsen, you get precise measurements of how your nerves and muscles actually function. The results show exactly where problems exist and how severe they are.
With clear diagnostic information, you can move forward with the right treatment plan instead of trying random solutions that might not address your specific condition.
We’ve been serving Fort Hamilton and surrounding Brooklyn communities with specialized neurological testing for years. Our medical team includes board-certified neurologists who understand the complexities of nerve and muscle disorders.
We focus specifically on diagnostic accuracy using advanced EMG and nerve conduction equipment. This specialization means you’re not just another patient – you’re working with doctors who see these conditions daily and know how to interpret results correctly.
Located right in your community, we eliminate the need to travel to Manhattan for quality neurological testing.
The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes placed on your skin send mild electrical pulses to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel slight tingling, but nothing painful. This test reveals problems with nerve function, including pinched nerves, neuropathy, or nerve damage.
Next is the EMG, or electromyography test. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure electrical activity. While this sounds uncomfortable, most patients tolerate it well. The test shows whether muscle weakness stems from nerve problems or muscle disorders.
Both tests typically take 30-60 minutes total. You get results immediately, with the doctor explaining findings and discussing next steps before you leave. No waiting days or weeks wondering what the tests revealed.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. The testing covers multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups depending on your symptoms – arms, legs, back, or wherever you’re experiencing problems.
You receive immediate interpretation of results from our experienced neurologists, not technicians. Our doctors explain what the measurements mean for your specific condition and discuss treatment options based on findings. You also get a detailed report to share with your referring physician or other specialists.
Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. Our staff handles prior authorizations and insurance verification to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
