Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your symptoms.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with unexplained pain, numbness, or weakness for months. Multiple doctors, different opinions, but still no clear answers about what’s actually happening in your body.
Nerve and muscle testing changes that. These diagnostic tests measure how well your nerves send signals and how your muscles respond. Instead of guessing, you get concrete data about nerve damage, muscle disorders, or compression issues.
The results tell us if you’re dealing with carpal tunnel, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely. More importantly, they show us exactly where the problem is and how severe it is. That means you can stop wondering and start treating the right thing.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Westwood and the surrounding New Jersey communities for years. Our team specializes in diagnosing complex spine and nerve conditions that other doctors often miss or misdiagnose.
Every test is performed and interpreted by our board-certified specialists who understand the nuances of neuromuscular disorders. We’ve seen thousands of cases and know how to spot patterns that less experienced providers might overlook.
We use advanced diagnostic equipment and take time to explain your results in plain language. No medical jargon, no rushing through appointments.
The process starts with a consultation about your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand exactly what you’re experiencing and when it started.
For the nerve conduction study, small electrodes are placed on your skin. Mild electrical pulses test how fast and strong your nerve signals are. It feels like small static shocks – uncomfortable for a moment, but not painful.
The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to measure muscle activity. You’ll contract specific muscles while the equipment records the electrical signals. This shows whether muscle weakness comes from nerve damage or muscle disease.
Most testing takes 30-60 minutes depending on how many areas need evaluation. You get results immediately, along with a clear explanation of what they mean for your condition and treatment options.
Ready to get started?
Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies performed during the same appointment. No need to schedule multiple visits or see different specialists.
The evaluation covers all areas related to your symptoms – whether that’s arms, legs, back, or neck. If you’re dealing with numbness in your hands, we’ll test from your neck down to your fingers to find exactly where the nerve is being compressed.
You receive a detailed report explaining your results, plus specific recommendations for treatment. We coordinate with your other doctors to make sure everyone understands the findings. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary.
