Precise nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that reveals what’s actually causing your numbness, weakness, or pain.
Reviews
You’re tired of doctors guessing about your symptoms. That tingling in your hands, the weakness in your legs, the shooting pain down your arm – you need to know what’s causing it.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more wondering if it’s serious. No more vague explanations.
You’ll walk out knowing whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel, pinched nerves, muscle disorders, or something that needs immediate attention. Clear results. Clear next steps. Finally, some certainty about what’s happening in your body.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive neurological evaluations to Riverdale and the greater Bronx area for years. Our team combines advanced diagnostic technology with the experience to interpret what your test results actually mean.
We’re not just running tests and sending you elsewhere. Our specialists understand the connection between nerve function, muscle response, and your daily life. We’ve seen thousands of cases, from simple nerve compression to complex neurological conditions.
First, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history. No rushing – we want to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.
The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and send tiny electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small taps or buzzes – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.
For the EMG portion, we use a thin needle electrode to test muscle activity. Yes, there’s a brief pinch when the needle goes in, but most people tolerate it fine. We’re measuring whether your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals.
The entire process takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options.

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing covers the full spectrum of neurological function. We test nerve conduction velocity to see how quickly signals travel through your nerves. We measure muscle response to determine if weakness comes from nerve damage or muscle disorders.
We can evaluate conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle diseases. The testing works for arms, legs, hands, feet – wherever you’re having symptoms.
You’re not getting a basic screening. This is the same comprehensive evaluation you’d receive at major medical centers, but right here in Riverdale. Our equipment is calibrated regularly, our techniques are current, and our interpretation considers your specific situation and symptoms.
