Advanced nerve and muscle testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with symptoms that don’t make sense. Numbness in your hands that makes it hard to grip things. Shooting pain down your leg that comes and goes. Muscle weakness that’s affecting your work or daily activities.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you objective answers. Through electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we measure exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No guesswork, no “let’s try this and see what happens.”
You’ll know if it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, diabetic neuropathy, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll know what can be done about it and have a clear path forward.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving the Hackensack community for years, helping patients get accurate diagnoses when other approaches have fallen short. We focus specifically on nerve and muscle disorders, which means we see these conditions every day.
We use the latest EMG and nerve conduction equipment, and more importantly, we know how to interpret the results in a way that makes sense for your specific situation. Our patients often tell us we’re the first doctors who really listened and gave them clear answers about what’s happening in their body.
The testing process is straightforward. First, we’ll discuss your symptoms and medical history to understand what we’re looking for. Then we perform the nerve conduction study, which involves placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how fast and strong your nerve signals are.
Next comes the EMG portion, where we use a thin needle electrode to test muscle activity. This shows us if your muscles are responding normally to nerve signals. The entire process typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on which areas we’re testing.
You’ll get your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what we found and what it means for your treatment options. No waiting weeks for answers or wondering what comes next.

Our nerve and muscle testing covers all the areas that might be causing your symptoms. We can test nerve function in your arms, hands, legs, and feet to identify conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, sciatica, or peripheral neuropathy.
The muscle testing portion evaluates whether weakness is coming from the nerve, the muscle itself, or the connection between them. This distinction is crucial for determining the right treatment approach. We also coordinate with your other doctors to make sure everyone has the information they need.
Many of our Hackensack patients come to us after months of uncertainty. They leave with concrete answers and a clear understanding of their condition, which makes all the difference in moving forward with effective treatment.
