Advanced nerve and muscle testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with numbness in your hands, tingling in your feet, or weakness that makes simple tasks difficult. You need answers, not guesswork.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you exactly that. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure how well your nerves and muscles actually function. No more wondering if your symptoms are “all in your head” or if they’ll get worse.
When you know what’s causing your symptoms, you can finally move forward with the right treatment. Whether it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or another condition, accurate testing leads to effective solutions.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Union, NJ and surrounding communities with specialized nerve and muscle diagnostics for years. Our physicians understand that when you’re dealing with unexplained symptoms, you need more than just a quick test.
You need someone who takes the time to understand your specific situation and explains your results in terms that make sense. We use the latest diagnostic equipment and proven testing protocols to ensure accurate results every time.
Our focus stays on getting you the answers you need to move forward with confidence in your treatment plan.
Your nerve and muscle testing appointment starts with a discussion about your symptoms, when they started, and how they’re affecting your daily life. This helps us focus the testing on the areas most likely causing your problems.
For the nerve conduction study, we place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to check how your muscles respond to nerve signals.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles we’re testing. You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what they mean and what your next steps should be.

Your testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies to give us a complete picture of your nerve and muscle function. We test the specific areas where you’re experiencing symptoms, whether that’s your hands, arms, legs, or back.
The nerve conduction study measures how well electrical signals travel through your nerves. The EMG evaluates how your muscles respond to those nerve signals. Together, these tests can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.
You’ll receive a detailed report of your results that you can share with your referring physician or specialist. We also coordinate directly with your other healthcare providers to ensure your treatment plan addresses exactly what the testing reveals.
