Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve and muscle problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Maybe your primary care doctor said “let’s wait and see” or suggested it might be stress. You know something’s not right, but you need real answers.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No guessing. No vague explanations.
When you know what’s actually happening in your body, you can make informed decisions about treatment. You’ll understand whether your symptoms point to carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely. That clarity changes everything.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout Queens and the greater New York area with comprehensive spine and nerve care. We focus specifically on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect your nerves, muscles, and spine.
Our team uses advanced diagnostic equipment and stays current with the latest testing protocols. Every test is interpreted by board-certified physicians who understand the nuances of nerve and muscle disorders.
Located conveniently in Beechhurst, we accept most major insurance plans and work closely with referring physicians to ensure coordinated care.
The testing process typically takes 45-90 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll start with a brief consultation where our physician reviews your symptoms and medical history.
During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. It feels like mild static electricity – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful. The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity.
Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the testing is. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, with a detailed report following within 24-48 hours. Our physician explains what the findings mean and discusses next steps based on your specific results.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, providing a complete picture of your neurological function. The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders.
You’ll receive detailed documentation of all findings, including nerve conduction velocities, muscle response patterns, and any abnormalities detected. This comprehensive report helps your treating physician develop the most effective treatment plan.
We perform the testing using state-of-the-art equipment that provides precise measurements and reliable results. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary, and our office handles prior authorizations when required.
