Finally Know What's Actually Wrong

You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Tingling that comes and goes. Weakness that your last doctor couldn’t explain. Numbness that’s getting worse, and you’re starting to worry it’s permanent.

Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. When we run electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we’re measuring exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Not guessing. Not assuming. Measuring.

You’ll walk out knowing whether your symptoms are coming from nerve compression, muscle dysfunction, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll know what can be done about it and whether waiting longer will make things worse.

Bunche Park Nerve Testing Specialists

We've Been Solving These Puzzles for Years

NY Spine Medicine has been providing nerve and muscle diagnostic testing to Bunche Park and surrounding Florida communities for years. Our team specializes in cases where other doctors haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem.

When you’re dealing with neurological symptoms, you need someone who understands the complexity of nerve pathways and muscle function. Our specialists have seen thousands of cases and know how to interpret even subtle changes in nerve conduction.

You’re not just getting a test. You’re getting an evaluation from doctors who know what they’re looking at and can explain what it means for your specific situation.

Nerve Function Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Testing

The process starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? Where exactly do you feel them? This helps focus the testing on the right areas.

For nerve conduction studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves. It feels like small taps or mild electrical sensations. For EMG testing, a thin needle electrode measures muscle activity to see if muscles are responding properly to nerve signals.

The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You’ll get preliminary results immediately, and we’ll explain what the findings mean and what your next steps should be. No waiting weeks to find out if something serious is happening.

Comprehensive Nerve and Muscle Evaluation

Complete Testing That Covers All Possibilities

Our evaluation includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies because nerve and muscle problems often overlap. Testing just one without the other misses half the picture.

You’ll receive testing of motor nerves that control muscle movement, sensory nerves that handle feeling and sensation, and muscle response patterns that show whether weakness is coming from the nerve, the muscle, or the connection between them. This comprehensive approach is especially important for Bunche Park patients who often have multiple contributing factors like diabetes, previous injuries, or work-related repetitive stress.

Our testing also evaluates nerve pathways at different levels, so whether your problem is in your spine, at a compression point like your wrist or elbow, or in the peripheral nerves themselves, it will show up in the results.

The nerve conduction portion feels like small electrical taps or mild shocks – uncomfortable but not painful for most people. The EMG portion involves thin needle electrodes that feel similar to acupuncture needles. Most patients describe it as tolerable discomfort rather than actual pain. The entire testing process usually takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You can drive yourself home afterward and return to normal activities immediately.
These tests can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves in the spine, peripheral neuropathy from diabetes, muscle disorders, nerve damage from injuries, and conditions like sciatica or cervical radiculopathy. They’re also used to evaluate unexplained weakness, numbness, tingling, or muscle cramping. The testing can distinguish between nerve problems and muscle problems, which is crucial because treatments are completely different depending on which is causing your symptoms.
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover nerve and muscle testing when it’s medically necessary to diagnose your symptoms. The testing is considered a standard diagnostic procedure, similar to getting an X-ray or MRI. We verify your coverage before scheduling and can provide you with cost estimates if you have a high deductible plan. Prior authorization is sometimes required, which we handle for you to avoid any surprises.
Nerve conduction studies and EMG testing are highly accurate for detecting nerve and muscle dysfunction. They provide objective, measurable data rather than subjective interpretations. You’ll get preliminary results immediately after testing, and we’ll explain what we found and what it means for your condition. A detailed written report follows within a few days. These tests are considered the gold standard for diagnosing nerve and muscle disorders.
Don’t use lotions or oils on your skin the day of testing as they can interfere with electrode placement. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being tested. You can eat normally and take your regular medications. If you’re on blood thinners, let us know beforehand but don’t stop taking them unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Bring a list of your current symptoms and when they started, as this helps focus the testing.
If the testing reveals nerve or muscle dysfunction, we’ll explain your specific diagnosis and discuss treatment options. This might include physical therapy, medications, injections, lifestyle modifications, or referral to specialists if surgery is needed. The key advantage of accurate testing is that treatment can be targeted to your exact problem rather than trying generic approaches. Follow-up testing may be recommended to monitor progress or if symptoms change over time.
