Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms long enough. The numbness in your hands that makes simple tasks frustrating. The shooting pain down your leg that disrupts your sleep. The weakness that’s changing how you move through your day.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the clarity you need. Instead of guessing or managing symptoms, you get precise answers about what’s happening in your body. Our electromyography and nerve conduction studies measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning.
When you know the specific condition you’re dealing with, everything changes. Treatment becomes targeted instead of trial-and-error. You can make informed decisions about your care. Most importantly, you can start addressing the root cause instead of just covering up symptoms.
We’ve been serving Bath Beach and the greater Brooklyn community with specialized spine and nerve care. Our team understands that nerve and muscle problems affect every aspect of your life, from work performance to family time.
We’ve built our practice around one simple principle: accurate diagnosis leads to better outcomes. That’s why we invest in advanced diagnostic equipment and take the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s condition.
Our specialists have extensive experience interpreting nerve and muscle testing results, which means you get reliable answers the first time. We’ve helped thousands of Bath Beach residents understand their conditions and find effective treatment paths.
Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your problems started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily activities.
The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how quickly and effectively electrical signals travel through your nerves. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test nerve function. It feels like a brief, mild shock – uncomfortable for a moment but not painful.
Electromyography testing evaluates muscle function using a thin needle electrode inserted into specific muscles. This measures electrical activity and helps identify whether problems stem from nerve damage, muscle disorders, or both. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation.
You’ll receive your results immediately after testing. We explain exactly what the findings mean, what condition you’re dealing with, and discuss your treatment options. No waiting weeks for answers or wondering what comes next.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes a complete evaluation designed to identify the specific cause of your symptoms. We test multiple nerve pathways and muscle groups to get a comprehensive picture of what’s happening.
Many Bath Beach patients come to us after months of uncertainty about conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or radiculopathy. Our testing can definitively diagnose these conditions and distinguish between similar problems that require different treatments.
The evaluation also includes detailed analysis of nerve conduction velocity, which tells us not just whether nerves are damaged, but how severely. This information is crucial for determining whether conservative treatment will be effective or if more aggressive intervention is needed.
You receive a complete report of findings along with our recommendations for next steps. Whether that’s physical therapy, medication, injections, or referral to a surgeon, you’ll know exactly what your options are and why we’re recommending each approach.
