Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, weakness, or pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you up at night.
Standard tests haven’t given you answers. Your doctor says “let’s wait and see.” But you need to know what’s happening to your body right now.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. We use advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies to measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. You’ll walk out knowing whether you have carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy, radiculopathy, or something else entirely.
No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head. Just clear, measurable results that point toward the right treatment.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Jersey City and the surrounding area with specialized diagnostic testing for nerve and muscle disorders. Our team focuses exclusively on spine-related conditions, which means we see these symptoms every day.
We know the difference between carpal tunnel syndrome and cervical radiculopathy. We understand when muscle weakness comes from nerve compression versus muscle disease. This isn’t general medicine – it’s targeted expertise.
Our practice uses the latest EMG and nerve conduction study equipment to ensure accurate results. Most patients get their test results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for their treatment options.
The nerve conduction study comes first. Small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. This part feels like tiny taps – not painful, just noticeable.
Next is the electromyography test if needed. A thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Most people find this less uncomfortable than they expected – similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need testing. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a detailed explanation of what they mean. If treatment is needed, you can often start planning that same day.
No preparation is required, and you can return to normal activities right after testing.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation includes both nerve conduction studies and electromyography testing when appropriate. This combination gives a complete picture of what’s happening with your nervous system.
The testing can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, and various muscle disorders. You’ll also receive a detailed report that you can share with other healthcare providers.
Jersey City patients appreciate the convenience of getting comprehensive testing close to home. We accept most major insurance plans, and scheduling is typically available within a few days rather than weeks.
Same-day consultation means you won’t leave with questions about your results. Our spine medicine specialists explain exactly what the test findings mean and what your next steps should be.
