Advanced diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s getting worse. Tingling that keeps you awake at night.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you the precise answers you need. Through electromyography and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No more guessing about whether it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.
The results show us where the problem is, how severe it is, and what treatment options will actually work for your specific situation. You’ll leave knowing exactly what you’re dealing with and what comes next.
We’ve been serving Staten Island patients for years, focusing specifically on nerve and muscle disorders. Our board-certified neurologists understand that unexplained symptoms can be frustrating and scary.
We’ve built our practice around one simple idea: accurate diagnosis leads to better treatment. That’s why we use the most advanced testing equipment and take the time to explain your results in plain language.
You’re not just another appointment. We coordinate directly with your referring physician and make sure you understand every step of the process.
Your nerve and muscle evaluation starts with a detailed discussion about your symptoms. We need to understand when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they’re affecting your daily life.
The actual testing involves two main components. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast electrical signals travel through your nerves. We place small electrodes on your skin and send mild electrical pulses to test nerve function. Most patients describe it as a quick, mild shock.
Electromyography tests your muscle function by inserting a thin needle electrode into specific muscles. This measures the electrical activity when your muscles are at rest and when you contract them. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you’ll get a preliminary discussion of findings right away.

Our nerve and muscle diagnostic testing covers both motor and sensory functions. We test for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, muscle disorders, and nerve entrapment syndromes.
You’ll receive a detailed report that explains your results in terms you can understand. We don’t just hand you a piece of paper with medical codes. We sit down and explain what the findings mean for your specific situation and what treatment options are available.
Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic tests when medically necessary. Our staff handles prior authorizations and works directly with your insurance company to minimize out-of-pocket costs. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the answers you need about your health.
