Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands. Shooting pain down your leg. Weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. You need answers, not more guessing.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. Through advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely.
When you know what’s wrong, you can fix it. Our comprehensive diagnostic testing identifies the root cause of your symptoms so you can move forward with the right treatment plan. Not another round of trial and error.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Eastern Shores and surrounding Florida communities with specialized diagnostic services. Our physicians understand that accurate testing is the foundation of effective treatment.
We’ve invested in advanced EMG and nerve conduction study equipment because precise diagnosis requires precise tools. Our team interprets hundreds of these tests, giving us the experience to spot subtle findings that others might miss.
You’re not just getting a test. You’re getting expertise that comes from years of focusing specifically on nerve and muscle function disorders.
First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. Understanding when your symptoms started and what makes them better or worse helps us target the right areas for testing.
During the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or tingling. For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to measure muscle activity. Most people find it less uncomfortable than they expected.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates everything from carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy to radiculopathy and myopathy. We test upper extremities for conditions affecting your hands, arms, and shoulders, and lower extremities for issues with your legs, feet, and lower back.
Each test is customized based on your specific symptoms. If you’re experiencing numbness in your fingers, we’ll focus on the nerves that control hand function. If you have leg weakness, we’ll evaluate the nerve pathways from your spine to your feet.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report that not only identifies what’s wrong but also explains the severity of the condition and how it’s likely to progress. This information is crucial for developing an effective treatment strategy.
