Advanced nerve and muscle testing that pinpoints the source of your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, shooting pain down your leg, or muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Your regular doctor says it might be nerve-related, but you need to know for sure.
That’s exactly what nerve and muscle testing does. It gives you concrete answers about whether your nerves are damaged, how severe the problem is, and what’s causing your symptoms.
When you know what you’re dealing with, your treatment becomes focused instead of guesswork. No more trying random medications or therapies that might not address the real problem. You get a clear path forward based on objective test results that show exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning.
We’ve been providing specialized neurological testing to the Canarsie and Brooklyn communities for years. Our physicians understand that when you’re dealing with nerve-related symptoms, you need answers fast.
We’ve built our practice around giving you those answers. Our team specializes in spine and neurological conditions, so we’re not just running tests—we’re interpreting results through the lens of extensive experience with patients who have similar symptoms to yours.
You’re not just another test result here. We take the time to explain what we find and how it connects to what you’re experiencing every day.
The process starts with a consultation where we review your symptoms and medical history. We want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.
During the electromyography (EMG) portion, we use thin needle electrodes to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. For the nerve conduction study (NCV), we place electrodes on your skin and send small electrical pulses to test how fast and strong your nerve signals are.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which nerves and muscles we need to evaluate. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your specific situation and what treatment options make sense based on what we find.
Ready to get started?
Our nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, giving us a complete picture of your neurological function. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.
You’ll receive a detailed report that documents your nerve conduction speeds, muscle response patterns, and any areas of damage or dysfunction. This isn’t just data—it’s the roadmap your doctor needs to create an effective treatment plan.
We also provide clear recommendations for next steps, whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to other specialists. Many of our Canarsie patients tell us this testing finally gave them the clarity they needed to move forward with confidence in their treatment decisions.
