Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your nerve and muscle problems.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness, tingling, or weakness long enough. Maybe your fingers go numb at night, or your leg feels weak when you walk. Perhaps you’ve got shooting pains that nobody can explain.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. Instead of guessing what’s wrong, you’ll know exactly which nerves aren’t working properly and why your muscles aren’t responding the way they should.
When you understand what’s actually happening in your body, you can make informed decisions about treatment. No more trying random therapies or medications that might not address your specific problem. You get a clear roadmap for getting better.
NY Spine Medicine has been helping Richmond West patients get accurate diagnoses for their nerve and muscle problems. Our specialists understand that when you’re dealing with unexplained symptoms, you need more than surface-level answers.
We’ve performed thousands of nerve conduction studies and EMG tests. We know how to interpret the subtle findings that other providers might miss. More importantly, we explain your results in terms that actually make sense.
You’re not just getting a test here. You’re getting an evaluation from doctors who specialize in exactly what you’re dealing with.
First, you’ll discuss your symptoms with our specialist. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it happens. This conversation guides which tests will give you the most useful information.
The nerve conduction study comes next. Small electrodes are placed on your skin, and mild electrical pulses test how well your nerves transmit signals. It’s not painful, though you’ll feel some tingling. This shows if your nerves are damaged and where.
For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there’s some discomfort, but it’s brief and manageable. This reveals whether your muscle problems stem from nerve damage or muscle disease.
You’ll get your results the same day. Our specialist will explain what the findings mean for your specific situation and discuss your treatment options. No waiting weeks to find out what’s wrong.
Ready to get started?
Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by the same specialist. You won’t need to schedule separate appointments or repeat your medical history multiple times.
The evaluation covers all the areas where you’re having problems. If your symptoms affect multiple locations, the testing adapts to give you a complete picture. You’ll receive a detailed report that your other doctors can use to coordinate your care.
Richmond West patients appreciate that our testing is thorough but efficient. Most evaluations take 45-60 minutes, and you walk out with answers. Our specialists have seen thousands of cases, so we know exactly what to look for and how to interpret findings that might confuse other providers.
