Precise diagnostic testing that identifies exactly what’s causing your nerve and muscle problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain long enough. The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves. You need to know what’s happening in your body so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing gives you concrete answers. We use advanced electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCV) to measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. These tests show us where problems exist, how severe they are, and whether they’re getting worse.
When you leave our office, you’ll understand your condition. You’ll have objective data about your nerve function, muscle response, and the specific areas that need attention. No more guessing. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head.” Just clear information that helps you and your doctors create an effective treatment plan.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients in Bergen Beach and throughout Brooklyn with comprehensive neuromuscular diagnostic services. Our team focuses specifically on nerve and muscle testing, which means we see these conditions every day and understand the nuances that general practitioners might miss.
We use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and follow evidence-based protocols to ensure accurate results. Each test is performed by our experienced technicians under physician supervision, and results are interpreted by specialists who understand the complexities of neuromuscular conditions.
What sets NY Spine Medicine apart is our commitment to clear communication. You won’t leave confused about your results or wondering what happens next. We take time to explain findings in plain language and coordinate with your other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care.
Your appointment starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and what you’ve tried so far. This information helps us determine which specific tests will give us the most useful information about your condition.
The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test nerve response. EMG testing uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles, both at rest and during contraction.
Most patients find the procedures much less uncomfortable than they expected. The entire testing session typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your specific situation and recommended next steps.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes comprehensive evaluation of the specific areas causing your symptoms. We test nerve conduction velocity, muscle response patterns, and electrical activity to build a complete picture of your neuromuscular function.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. We also detect early signs of progressive conditions before permanent damage occurs, which is crucial for effective treatment planning.
You’ll receive detailed reports that document objective measurements of your nerve and muscle function. These reports are valuable for your other healthcare providers and insurance companies, providing the concrete evidence needed to support treatment recommendations. Many patients find that having objective test results finally validates their symptoms and opens doors to more effective treatment options.
