Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Pain that shoots down your arm or leg without explanation.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you the clarity you need. Within one appointment, you’ll know if you’re dealing with nerve damage, muscle disorders, or something else entirely. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head.
The testing pinpoints exactly where the problem is and how severe it’s become. You walk out with real answers and a clear path forward. Most patients tell us they wish they’d done this months ago instead of suffering through the uncertainty.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Staten Island residents for years, specializing in comprehensive spine and pain management. We focus specifically on diagnosing and treating conditions that cause chronic pain, numbness, and muscle dysfunction.
Located right here in Arden Heights, our practice eliminates the need to travel to Manhattan for specialized testing. Our physicians are board-certified and we use the latest diagnostic equipment to ensure accurate results every time.
Most importantly, we take time to explain what your results mean and what options you have moving forward. No medical jargon. No rushing through appointments. Just clear answers from doctors who understand how these symptoms affect your daily life.
The process starts with a consultation about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This helps determine which specific tests will give the most useful information about your condition.
During EMG testing, small electrodes measure electrical activity in your muscles. For nerve conduction studies, mild electrical pulses test how well signals travel through your nerves. Both tests are performed in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need evaluation.
You get results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. If the tests show nerve damage or muscle dysfunction, we’ll discuss treatment options immediately. If results are normal, that’s valuable information too—it helps rule out serious conditions and guides the next steps in figuring out what’s causing your symptoms.

Our nerve and muscle testing includes both electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCV) when needed. EMG testing evaluates muscle function and can detect conditions like muscle diseases, nerve damage, or problems where nerves connect to muscles.
Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals move through your nerves. This testing identifies nerve damage, pinched nerves, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. The combination provides a complete picture of both nerve and muscle health.
Testing is performed using state-of-the-art equipment that provides precise measurements. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic procedures when medically necessary. The entire process happens in one visit, and you leave with a clear understanding of your results and recommended next steps.
