Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
That tingling in your hands isn’t something you have to live with forever. The muscle weakness that’s making simple tasks difficult doesn’t have to remain a mystery. When you know exactly which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning properly, you can finally target the real problem instead of guessing.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. You’ll understand whether that numbness comes from a pinched nerve in your neck, carpal tunnel syndrome, or something else entirely. No more wondering if it’s “all in your head” or if it’ll get worse over time.
With precise diagnostic results, your treatment plan becomes focused and effective. Instead of trying generic approaches that might help, you get targeted therapy that addresses your specific nerve or muscle dysfunction. That means faster relief and better long-term outcomes.

Your nerve and muscle testing starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms. When did the numbness start? Which activities make the weakness worse? This information helps us focus the testing on the most likely problem areas.
The actual testing involves two main components: electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies. During nerve conduction testing, small electrical pulses measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. The EMG portion uses a thin needle electrode to evaluate muscle activity and detect any abnormal patterns.
Most testing sessions take 30-60 minutes depending on which nerves and muscles need evaluation. You’ll get a preliminary explanation of findings right after testing, followed by a detailed report that explains exactly what the results mean for your condition and treatment options.

Your nerve and muscle testing includes both EMG and nerve conduction studies in one appointment. This comprehensive approach evaluates the entire pathway from your spine to the affected area, whether that’s your hands, feet, arms, or legs.
The testing can identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, and various muscle disorders. For Fresh Meadows residents dealing with repetitive strain injuries from computer work or physical labor, this testing often reveals exactly which nerves are compressed and where.
You’ll receive detailed results that clearly explain which nerves or muscles aren’t functioning normally, how severe the problem is, and what treatment options are most likely to help. These results integrate seamlessly with your existing care team, whether that’s your primary doctor, orthopedist, or physical therapist.
