Advanced EMG and nerve conduction studies to diagnose what’s causing your numbness, weakness, or pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands that wakes you up at night. Or maybe it’s weakness in your legs that makes climbing stairs harder than it should be. Perhaps shooting pain down your arm that no one can explain.
These symptoms aren’t in your head. They’re real, and they deserve real answers.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. We can pinpoint where the problem is, how severe it is, and what’s causing it.
No more guessing. No more “let’s try this and see what happens.” Just clear, objective results that lead to the right treatment plan for your specific condition.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Flatbush community with specialized neurological care for years. Our team focuses specifically on diagnosing and treating nerve and muscle disorders.
We understand that getting to this point hasn’t been easy. You’ve probably seen multiple doctors, tried various treatments, and still don’t have clear answers about what’s wrong.
That’s exactly why we’re here. We use advanced diagnostic technology combined with years of experience to get to the bottom of complex neuromuscular problems that other providers might miss or misdiagnose.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. This shows us if your nerves are damaged and where.
Next is the EMG, or electromyography. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to record their electrical activity. This tells us whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals and if there’s any muscle damage.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we need to test. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.
Most patients describe the testing as uncomfortable but not painful. Think of it like getting blood drawn – brief moments of discomfort for valuable information about your health.
Ready to get started?
Your nerve and muscle testing appointment includes a complete evaluation, not just the tests themselves. We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse.
The testing covers multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups depending on your specific symptoms. We’re looking for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, and various muscle disorders.
After testing, you’ll receive a comprehensive report with your results and our recommendations. We coordinate with your referring physician and help connect you with the right specialists for treatment. Many patients find that having clear diagnostic results finally gets them the targeted treatment they need.
