Precise EMG and nerve conduction testing reveals what’s actually causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’re tired of doctors guessing about your symptoms. That tingling in your hands during meetings, the weakness that makes you drop things, the burning sensation that keeps you awake – you need to know what’s actually happening.
Nerve and muscle testing gives you concrete answers. Our electrodiagnostic testing measures how well your nerves conduct electrical signals and how your muscles respond. No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, or something more serious.
When you know exactly which nerves are affected and how severely, treatment becomes targeted instead of trial-and-error. You can make informed decisions about surgery, therapy, or other treatments based on real data, not guesswork.
NY Spine Medicine has been serving Upper West Side patients for years, focusing specifically on nerve and muscle disorders. We perform hundreds of EMG and nerve conduction studies annually, so we recognize patterns that less experienced providers might miss.
We’re not a general practice trying to do everything. Electrodiagnostic testing is what we do, and we do it well. Our equipment is calibrated regularly, our techniques follow the latest medical standards, and we explain your results in plain language.
You’ll work with doctors who understand the difference between a mild compression neuropathy and something that requires immediate intervention. That expertise matters when your mobility and quality of life are on the line.
Your nerve and muscle testing appointment typically takes 45-60 minutes. We start with nerve conduction studies, placing small electrodes on your skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through specific nerves. You’ll feel brief, mild electrical pulses – uncomfortable but not painful.
Next comes the EMG portion, where we insert thin needle electrodes into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. Yes, there are needles involved, but they’re much thinner than what you’d get for blood work. Most patients describe it as brief pinching sensations.
We test multiple nerves and muscles to get a complete picture. While we work, we explain what we’re seeing and what it means for your condition. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have definitive answers about nerve function, muscle health, and the severity of any problems we find.

Our nerve and muscle testing covers the full spectrum of electrodiagnostic evaluation. We perform EMG testing for muscle disorders, nerve conduction studies for peripheral neuropathy, and specialized tests for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, and radiculopathy.
You’ll receive both motor and sensory nerve testing, along with muscle evaluation in multiple locations. We test common problem areas like hands, wrists, elbows, and feet, but we can also evaluate less common nerve pathways if your symptoms suggest involvement elsewhere.
Your results include detailed measurements of nerve conduction velocities, muscle response amplitudes, and any abnormal electrical activity. We provide immediate interpretation of findings and recommendations for next steps, whether that’s treatment, further testing, or monitoring over time.
