Advanced nerve and muscle diagnostic testing that pinpoints exactly what’s causing your numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Reviews
You’ve been dealing with strange sensations in your hands, arms, legs, or back for weeks or months. Maybe it’s numbness that won’t go away. Tingling that keeps you awake. Muscle weakness that’s affecting your grip or your ability to walk normally.
Other doctors might have guessed. Ordered generic tests. Told you to wait and see. That’s not how we work.
Our nerve and muscle testing gives you definitive answers. EMG testing measures the electrical activity in your muscles. Nerve conduction studies track how well signals travel through your nerves. Together, these tests reveal exactly where the problem is and how severe it’s become.
No more wondering if it’s carpal tunnel, a pinched nerve, neuropathy, or something else entirely. You’ll walk out knowing what’s wrong and what needs to happen next.
We’ve been serving West Brighton and the greater Staten Island area for years, specializing in complex spine and neurological conditions. Our team understands that unexplained symptoms create real anxiety and frustration.
We’ve performed thousands of nerve and muscle evaluations. We know the difference between carpal tunnel syndrome and cervical radiculopathy. Between diabetic neuropathy and lumbar spinal stenosis. Between muscle strain and actual nerve damage.
Our diagnostic approach eliminates the guesswork that keeps you bouncing between specialists without answers.
First, we review your symptoms and medical history. We need to understand when this started, what makes it better or worse, and which specific areas are affected.
The nerve conduction study comes next. We place small electrodes on your skin and deliver mild electrical pulses to measure how quickly and completely your nerves transmit signals. This part takes about 20-30 minutes and feels like small static shocks.
For the EMG portion, we insert a thin needle electrode into specific muscles to measure their electrical activity. You’ll contract and relax different muscle groups while we record the data. Most people find this more uncomfortable than painful.
The entire process usually takes 45-60 minutes. We analyze the results immediately and discuss our findings with you before you leave. You’ll understand what the tests revealed, what it means for your condition, and what treatment options make sense.

Your nerve and muscle evaluation covers both motor and sensory nerve function. We test nerve conduction velocity, amplitude, and latency to identify exactly where problems exist along the nerve pathways.
The muscle testing component evaluates electrical activity at rest and during contraction. This reveals whether weakness stems from nerve damage, muscle disease, or problems at the nerve-muscle junction.
We commonly diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy from herniated discs, and various forms of muscle disease. Many West Brighton residents come to us after months of uncertainty about hand numbness, leg weakness, or chronic pain that other providers couldn’t explain.
Your results include detailed measurements and a comprehensive report that other specialists can use if additional treatment is needed. Most insurance plans cover these diagnostic procedures when medically necessary.
