Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands during important meetings. Weakness that makes simple tasks frustrating. Pain that radiates down your leg when you’re trying to focus.
Our nerve and muscle testing cuts through the guesswork. Using advanced electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. Not just symptoms – actual electrical activity that shows us where the problem starts and how severe it really is.
Within hours, you’ll have objective data about what’s happening in your body. No more wondering if it’s serious. No more trying treatments that don’t address the real issue. Just clear answers that lead to the right treatment plan.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Manhattan patients for over a decade. Our board-certified physicians specialize in complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions that other practices often struggle to diagnose accurately.
We’ve performed thousands of nerve and muscle evaluations right here in Midtown. Our team understands the unique demands of Manhattan professionals – the repetitive strain from long hours at computers, the stress-related tension, the need for quick, accurate answers that fit your schedule.
Every test is interpreted by specialists who’ve seen it all. We know what normal looks like, what’s concerning, and what needs immediate attention.
Your evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. When did they start? What makes them better or worse? How are they affecting your daily routine? This context shapes how we approach your testing.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals travel. It feels like tiny taps – uncomfortable for a few seconds, but not painful.
Next is the electromyography, where a thin needle electrode measures electrical activity in your muscles. We test muscles at rest and when you contract them, looking for patterns that reveal nerve damage, muscle disease, or problems where nerves connect to muscles. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes, and you’ll have preliminary results before you leave.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation covers both motor and sensory function testing. We assess nerve conduction velocity, amplitude, and latency to identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.
Our EMG testing evaluates muscle response patterns that reveal whether your symptoms stem from nerve compression, muscle disease, or problems at the neuromuscular junction. We test multiple muscle groups to map exactly where dysfunction occurs and how it connects to your specific symptoms.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language, plus specific recommendations for treatment. If we find significant abnormalities, we coordinate directly with your referring physician or recommend appropriate specialists. Most major insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary.
