Finally understand what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness with precise nerve and muscle testing.
Reviews
You’re tired of doctors telling you “it’s probably nothing” when you know something’s wrong. That tingling in your hands keeps you awake. The weakness in your legs makes you worry about falling. The numbness in your feet feels like it’s getting worse.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you the definitive answers you need. Within one appointment, you’ll know if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, diabetic neuropathy, or muscle disorders. No more guessing. No more wondering if it’s all in your head.
When you leave our office, you’ll have a clear diagnosis and understand exactly what’s happening in your body. More importantly, you’ll have a treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your symptoms, not just temporary relief.
We at NY Spine Medicine have been providing comprehensive nerve and muscle diagnostic testing to Richmond residents for years. We understand that unexplained neurological symptoms can be frightening and frustrating.
We use advanced electromyography and nerve conduction study equipment to measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. We’ve diagnosed thousands of cases, from common conditions like carpal tunnel to complex neurological disorders.
You’re not just another appointment to us. We know that getting clear answers about your symptoms can change everything about how you approach your health and your future.
Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. We want to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.
The actual testing involves two main components. The nerve conduction study measures how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves using small electrode patches on your skin. The electromyography test uses a thin needle electrode to measure the electrical activity in your muscles.
Most people find the testing uncomfortable but not painful. The entire evaluation typically takes 45-60 minutes. You’ll get your results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies, giving us a complete picture of your neurological function. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.
We can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. Our testing also helps rule out serious conditions, giving you peace of mind when symptoms aren’t related to major neurological problems.
You’ll receive a detailed report of your results that you can share with other healthcare providers. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary, and we’ll verify your coverage before your appointment.
