Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing to pinpoint what’s causing your pain, numbness, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with nerve pain, muscle weakness, or that frustrating numbness that won’t go away. Maybe you’ve had doctors guess at what’s wrong, or you’ve been told it’s “just stress.” That’s not good enough.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. When we perform electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, we’re measuring exactly how your nerves and muscles are functioning. No guessing. No assumptions.
You’ll walk out knowing whether you have carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve, peripheral neuropathy, or something else entirely. More importantly, you’ll have a clear path forward for treatment that actually addresses the root cause of your symptoms.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving patients throughout Ridgewood, NJ and the surrounding communities with specialized nerve and muscle diagnostic testing. We understand that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.
When you’re dealing with nerve or muscle problems, you need specialists who know what they’re looking for. Our physicians have extensive experience interpreting EMG and nerve conduction study results, ensuring you get an accurate diagnosis the first time.
We combine advanced diagnostic capabilities with a patient-centered approach, taking time to explain your results and what they mean for your specific situation.
Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on which areas need evaluation. The process involves two main components: nerve conduction studies and electromyography.
During nerve conduction testing, small electrodes are placed on your skin to measure how quickly and effectively your nerves transmit signals. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – most patients describe it as similar to static electricity.
For the EMG portion, a thin needle electrode is inserted into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. While this sounds uncomfortable, most patients find it much more tolerable than expected. The needle is very fine, and you’ll only feel a brief pinch.
Throughout the entire process, our technician explains what’s happening and why. You’ll receive your results the same day, along with a clear explanation of what the findings mean for your condition and treatment options.

Our nerve and muscle testing covers a comprehensive range of conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms in your hands, arms, legs, or feet, our diagnostic evaluation can identify issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy, or peripheral neuropathy.
Testing is particularly valuable for Ridgewood area patients who work in repetitive motion jobs, have diabetes, or are experiencing unexplained weakness or numbness. The results help distinguish between different types of nerve problems and determine the severity of any damage.
Most insurance plans cover nerve conduction studies and EMG testing when medically necessary. Our staff handles insurance verification and can explain your coverage before scheduling. Results are integrated with your overall treatment plan, whether that involves physical therapy, medication management, or other interventions.
