Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints the source of your numbness, weakness, or pain.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with tingling hands, shooting leg pain, or muscle weakness for weeks or months. Your primary care doctor suspects a nerve problem but can’t give you definitive answers. That uncertainty is exhausting.
Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic studies measure how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond. Within minutes, we can determine if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or another neuromuscular condition.
The results give you and your doctor a clear roadmap. No more guessing about treatment options or wondering if your symptoms will get worse. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with and what steps to take next.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout Northern New Jersey for years, specializing in spine and neuromuscular conditions. Our team includes board-certified neurologists who understand the complexities of nerve and muscle disorders.
Located conveniently in Ridgefield, we see patients from Bergen County and surrounding areas who need accurate diagnostic testing. We work closely with your referring doctor to ensure you get comprehensive care from diagnosis through treatment.
The testing process is straightforward and typically takes 30-60 minutes. For nerve conduction studies, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. You’ll feel mild electrical pulses, but nothing painful.
EMG testing uses a thin needle electrode to measure electrical activity in your muscles. This shows whether muscle weakness stems from nerve damage or a muscle disorder itself. Most patients find the discomfort minimal and brief.
Results are available immediately. We’ll explain what the tests reveal about your condition and discuss next steps. You’ll leave with clear answers about your symptoms and a plan for addressing them.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies when appropriate. This comprehensive approach ensures nothing gets missed. The testing can diagnose conditions ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy to radiculopathy and myopathy.
Many patients come in after experiencing symptoms like numbness in their hands, weakness in their arms or legs, or shooting pains down their back or limbs. Others have been referred after abnormal findings on MRI or CT scans that need further clarification.
The diagnostic process helps distinguish between different types of nerve problems, determines the severity of your condition, and guides treatment decisions. Whether you need conservative management, physical therapy, or surgical intervention, the test results provide the foundation for effective care.
