You’re tired of wondering whether that tingling in your hands means something serious. Whether the weakness in your legs will get worse. Whether you’re looking at surgery or if there’s a simpler fix.

When you understand exactly what’s happening with your nerves and muscles, you can make informed decisions about your care. You’ll know whether physical therapy will help, if medication makes sense, or if you need a specialist referral.

Located right in Todt Hill, you don’t need to trek into Manhattan for quality nerve testing. We serve the local community with the same level of expertise you’d find at major medical centers.
First, you’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when your problems started, what makes them better or worse, and exactly where you’re experiencing issues.
During the EMG test, small electrodes are placed on your skin over the affected muscles. You’ll be asked to contract certain muscles so the machine can measure electrical activity. The nerve conduction study involves mild electrical pulses to test how well your nerves transmit signals.
The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas need 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 EMG testing includes both electromyography and nerve conduction studies. This combination gives a complete picture of how your nerves and muscles are functioning together.
The testing can diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerves, and various muscle disorders. You’ll know whether your symptoms stem from nerve compression, muscle disease, or spinal issues.
After your test, you’ll receive a detailed report and immediate consultation about your results. If treatment is needed, you’ll get specific recommendations based on your exact diagnosis, not generic advice that might not apply to your situation.
