Advanced EMG and nerve conduction testing reveals what’s really 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 your doctor can’t explain. Pain that radiates down your leg but no one knows why.
Nerve and muscle testing changes everything. Instead of guessing what’s wrong, you get objective data about how your nerves and muscles actually function. The EMG shows exactly which muscles aren’t working properly. The nerve conduction study measures how fast signals travel through your nerves.
This isn’t just another test. It’s the difference between treating symptoms and treating the real problem. When you know exactly what’s happening at the nerve and muscle level, treatment becomes targeted and effective.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Far Rockaway and surrounding communities with comprehensive neurological testing and spine care. We focus specifically on conditions affecting the spine, nerves, and muscles.
We understand that nerve and muscle problems often get overlooked or misdiagnosed. That’s why we use advanced diagnostic equipment and take time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s symptoms.
Located conveniently in Far Rockaway, we accept most major insurance plans and work with patients to ensure they get the testing they need without financial stress.
Our testing process starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Where exactly do you feel the numbness or pain?
During the EMG portion, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. You’ll contract specific muscles while the machine records how they respond. The nerve conduction study uses mild electrical pulses to test how quickly signals travel through your nerves.
Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, and a complete report within a few days. More importantly, you’ll understand exactly what the results mean for your treatment options.

Our testing covers both sensory and motor nerves throughout your body. This includes checking nerve function in your arms, legs, hands, and feet. Muscle testing evaluates strength, response time, and electrical activity in affected areas.
Common conditions we diagnose include carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, muscle disorders, and radiculopathy. The testing can also rule out serious conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy when symptoms are concerning.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining which nerves or muscles show abnormal function, the severity of any problems found, and recommendations for treatment. This information helps guide everything from physical therapy to surgical decisions.
