Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve or muscle problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain long enough. Those symptoms that keep you awake at night or make simple tasks difficult deserve real answers, not guesswork.
Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing cuts through the uncertainty. Within hours, you’ll have definitive results that show exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly and why. No more wondering if it’s serious or if you’re imagining things.
When you know the precise source of your symptoms, your doctor can create a treatment plan that actually works. Instead of trying generic approaches that might help, you get targeted therapy designed for your specific condition. That means faster relief and less time spent on treatments that don’t address what’s really happening in your body.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing precise neurological diagnostics to Manhattan patients for years. Our team focuses exclusively on spine and nerve-related conditions, which means we’ve seen every type of symptom pattern you can imagine.
Located in Civic Center, we serve patients throughout lower Manhattan who need accurate diagnostic testing. Our physicians are board-certified specialists who understand that getting the right diagnosis the first time saves you months of ineffective treatments.
We accept most major insurance plans and work with referring physicians throughout the NYC area. When your doctor needs definitive answers about your nerve or muscle function, this is where they send you.
The process starts with a brief review of your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand what you’ve been experiencing and which areas of your body are affected. This helps us focus the testing on the right nerves and muscle groups.
During the electromyography (EMG) portion, we use thin needle electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. It sounds worse than it feels – most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn. The nerve conduction study uses small electrical pulses to test how well signals travel along your nerves.
The entire evaluation typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results immediately after the test, along with a detailed explanation of what we found. We’ll also send a comprehensive report to your referring physician so they can move forward with the most appropriate treatment plan.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by experienced technicians. We test motor nerves, sensory nerves, and muscle response patterns to create a complete picture of your neurological function.
You’ll receive same-day results with a detailed explanation of findings. No waiting weeks for a callback or wondering what the test showed. We also provide written reports that clearly explain the medical findings in terms you can understand, not just technical jargon.
Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when ordered by your physician. We handle the insurance paperwork and provide cost estimates upfront so you know what to expect. Our Civic Center location is easily accessible by subway and has nearby parking options for patients who prefer to drive.
