Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness for weeks or months. Maybe your fingers go numb at night, or you’re getting shooting pains down your leg. Your regular doctor says it might be this or that, but you need to know for sure.
That’s where precise nerve and muscle testing comes in. EMG and nerve conduction studies don’t guess – they measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. When you know the real problem, you can get the right treatment instead of trying random solutions that don’t work.
No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something else entirely. These tests give you and your doctor the clear diagnostic information needed to create a treatment plan that actually addresses your specific condition.
We’ve been serving the Gravesend community with advanced diagnostic testing and spine care. Our practice focuses specifically on neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, which means we see cases like yours every day.
You don’t need to travel to Manhattan for quality nerve and muscle testing. We use the same advanced equipment and proven protocols you’d find at major medical centers, right here in your neighborhood.
When you’re dealing with nerve or muscle problems, you want specialists who understand exactly what they’re looking for and how to interpret the results accurately.
The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. This shows if nerves are damaged, compressed, or functioning normally.
Next is the EMG, or electromyography test. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. This reveals whether muscle weakness comes from the muscle itself or from nerve problems controlling that muscle.
Both tests are done in our office and typically take 30-60 minutes total. You’ll get a detailed explanation of the findings, and a comprehensive report goes to your referring doctor. Most importantly, you’ll finally have concrete answers about what’s causing your symptoms and what can be done about it.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same visit. The evaluation covers all relevant nerve pathways and muscle groups related to your specific symptoms.
You’ll receive a detailed consultation before testing to discuss your symptoms and medical history. During the procedure, our technician explains what’s happening and what the readings mean. After testing, you get a thorough review of the findings in terms you can understand.
The comprehensive report includes specific measurements, diagnostic conclusions, and recommendations for treatment. This gives your referring doctor – whether that’s your primary care physician, orthopedist, or neurologist – the precise information they need to develop an effective treatment plan for your condition.
