Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve pain, numbness, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that comes and goes. Shooting pain down your leg. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Your regular doctor says “let’s wait and see” but you need answers now.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you those answers. We use advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies to measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more guessing about what’s causing your symptoms.
When you know what’s wrong, you can finally move forward with the right treatment. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, or diabetic neuropathy, accurate diagnosis is the first step toward getting your life back.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Franklin Lakes and Northern New Jersey for years, focusing specifically on spine and nerve disorders. We understand that when you’re dealing with nerve symptoms, you need doctors who specialize in exactly what you’re experiencing.
We use the latest diagnostic equipment and follow established protocols that give you reliable, accurate results. You’re not just getting a test – you’re getting an evaluation from specialists who see these conditions every day.
Every patient receives detailed explanations of their results and clear next steps for treatment, whether that’s here or with your referring physician.
The testing process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started to design the right testing approach.
During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel through your nerves. For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode measures the electrical activity in your muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort, similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, giving a complete picture of your neurological function. The testing evaluates nerve signal speed, muscle response, and identifies exactly where problems are occurring along the nerve pathways.
Franklin Lakes patients often come for evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and other conditions causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The testing can distinguish between nerve damage, muscle disorders, and spine-related compression.
You receive a detailed report of all findings, plus copies are sent to your referring physician to coordinate your ongoing care. The results guide treatment decisions, from conservative management to surgical interventions when necessary.
