Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with nerve pain, numbness, or muscle weakness for too long. Every day brings the same questions: What’s causing this? Is it serious? Will it get worse?
Nerve and muscle testing gives you real answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely.
The results show us where the problem is, how severe it is, and what we can do about it. You’ll walk out knowing what you’re dealing with and what comes next. That clarity alone changes everything.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping Olympia Heights residents get to the bottom of their nerve and muscle problems for years. We’re not a general practice trying to do everything – we focus specifically on spine, nerve, and muscle conditions.
Our physicians understand how nerve problems develop, what they look like on diagnostic tests, and how to interpret results accurately. We’ve seen thousands of cases, from simple carpal tunnel to complex nerve damage patterns.
When you need answers about nerve or muscle function, experience matters. We know what to look for and how to explain what we find in terms that actually make sense.
The nerve conduction study comes first. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses along your nerves. This measures how fast and strong your nerve signals are traveling. You’ll feel a brief tingling sensation, but it’s not painful.
Next is the electromyography, or EMG. A thin needle electrode goes into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. We test muscles at rest and when you contract them. This shows us exactly how your muscles are responding to nerve signals.
The entire process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean. We’ll discuss whether you have nerve damage, where it’s located, and how severe it is. Then we’ll talk about your treatment options and next steps.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by experienced specialists. We test the specific areas related to your symptoms, whether that’s your hands and wrists for carpal tunnel, your legs for sciatica, or other muscle groups showing weakness.
You’ll receive a detailed report explaining your results in plain language. We don’t just hand you numbers and medical terms – we explain what’s actually happening with your nerves and muscles. Many patients tell us this is the first time anyone has clearly explained their condition.
We coordinate with your referring physician to ensure your results get to the right place quickly. If you need follow-up treatment, we’ll discuss your options and help connect you with the right specialists. The goal is getting you the answers you need and moving you toward effective treatment.
