Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained symptoms long enough. That tingling in your hands keeping you awake. The weakness in your legs that makes stairs feel impossible. The burning pain that shoots down your arm when you’re trying to work.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you the definitive answers you need. Instead of another doctor telling you to “wait and see,” you’ll know exactly which nerves aren’t functioning properly and why your muscles aren’t responding the way they should.
When you understand what’s actually happening in your body, real treatment becomes possible. No more trial-and-error approaches or treatments that only mask symptoms. You get a clear roadmap to recovery based on objective medical evidence.
NY Spine Medicine has been providing comprehensive neurological diagnostic services to Staten Island residents for years. We understand that dealing with nerve and muscle problems affects every aspect of your life.
We’ve built our practice around one simple principle: accurate diagnosis leads to effective treatment. That’s why we invest in advanced testing equipment and take the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s condition.
You don’t need to travel to Manhattan for specialized testing. Our Staten Island facility provides the same level of expertise and technology you’d find at major medical centers, with the convenience and personal attention of a local practice.
Your evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and what makes them better or worse. This conversation helps us understand which specific tests will give you the most useful information.
During the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through your nerves. The EMG portion involves inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to evaluate their electrical activity. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to getting blood drawn.
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on which areas we’re testing. You’ll receive your results the same day in most cases, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your treatment options. We also provide detailed reports to your referring physician so your entire care team stays informed.

Our nerve and muscle testing evaluates a wide range of conditions affecting Staten Island residents. Whether you’re dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome from years of computer work, sciatica that’s making it hard to sit or stand, or diabetic neuropathy that’s affecting your balance, we have the diagnostic tools to identify the problem.
We test for nerve compression syndromes, muscle disorders, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, and other neurological conditions that cause pain, weakness, or sensory changes. Our equipment can detect even subtle abnormalities that might be missed by standard physical examination alone.
Each test is tailored to your specific symptoms and concerns. We’re not running a standard battery of tests on everyone who walks through the door. Your evaluation is designed around your individual situation, which means you get relevant answers without unnecessary procedures.
