Precise nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that reveals what’s really causing your symptoms.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness long enough. The uncertainty is almost worse than the symptoms themselves.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. When you know exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly, your treatment becomes focused instead of scattered. No more trying random therapies or medications that might work.
The electromyography and nerve conduction studies we perform measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. This isn’t guesswork—it’s measurable data that shows your doctor exactly where the problem lies and how severe it is.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Oakland Gardens and Queens community for years, specializing in comprehensive spine and pain management. Our board-certified physicians understand that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.
We’ve performed thousands of nerve and muscle evaluations, helping patients move from uncertainty to clarity. Our team knows the difference between carpal tunnel syndrome and cervical radiculopathy, between muscle strain and nerve compression.
When you’re dealing with neurological symptoms, you need specialists who see these conditions regularly and know how to interpret the subtle differences in test results.
Your nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical impulses to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.
The electromyography portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Most patients describe it as similar to getting blood drawn—brief discomfort that passes quickly.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re evaluating. You’ll get your results immediately, and we’ll explain exactly what they mean for your condition and treatment options.

Our testing evaluates both sensory and motor nerve function throughout your body. We can pinpoint problems in your arms, legs, back, or neck—wherever your symptoms are occurring.
The muscle function testing reveals whether weakness comes from the muscle itself or from nerve damage affecting that muscle. This distinction completely changes your treatment approach.
We test for common conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, and radiculopathy. But we also catch less obvious problems that other providers might miss, like early-stage nerve compression or subtle muscle disorders that haven’t been properly diagnosed.
