Advanced nerve and muscle testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands for months. Or maybe it’s that shooting pain down your leg that won’t quit. Your regular doctor keeps saying “let’s wait and see” or hands you another prescription that barely touches the problem.
Here’s what changes when you get proper nerve and muscle testing. You walk out knowing exactly which nerves aren’t firing correctly and why your muscles feel weak or cramped. No more guessing games about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.
The EMG and nerve conduction studies we perform measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. Within minutes, we can tell you if that tingling is coming from your wrist, your neck, or somewhere else entirely. You get real answers, not more questions.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping Staten Island residents figure out their nerve and muscle problems for years. Our physicians specialize in neuromuscular conditions – the kind of issues that leave other doctors scratching their heads.
We see patients from Rosebank and across Staten Island who’ve been bounced between specialists without getting clear answers. That stops here. Our diagnostic testing gives you the information you need to move forward with confidence.
When you’re dealing with nerve pain or muscle weakness, you need someone who understands exactly how these systems work and what can go wrong.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses along your nerves. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but nothing painful. This shows us exactly how fast and strong your nerve signals are traveling.
Next is the EMG, or electromyography. We insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there’s a small pinch, but most patients say it’s less uncomfortable than getting blood drawn. This tells us if your muscles are getting proper signals from your nerves.
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. You get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by our specialized physicians. We test the specific areas where you’re having symptoms, plus related nerve pathways that might be contributing to your problem.
You’ll receive same-day results with a detailed explanation of your findings. We don’t just hand you a report – we sit down and explain what the numbers mean, what’s causing your symptoms, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation.
Most major insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. We handle the insurance paperwork and provide clear pricing information upfront so you know what to expect.
