Conditions We Treat
We offer specialized care for a range of neuromuscular conditions. Our team of experts provides compassionate care for various conditions, such as ALS, Muscular Dystrophy, Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington's Disease, and others. With a wide range of treatment options, we are here to support you on your journey towards improved quality of life. To learn more about the conditions we treat, see the list below.
- ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis):
- ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually death.
- Muscular Dystrophy:
- Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration, resulting in difficulty with mobility and daily activities.
- Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease:
- Charcot Marie Tooth disease is a genetic disorder that affects the nerves in the arms and legs, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, as well as foot deformities.
- Myasthenia Gravis:
- Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular junction, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigue, particularly in the face, throat, and eyes.
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy:
- Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, as well as respiratory and feeding difficulties.
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome:
- Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness, tingling, and numbness, and can progress to paralysis and respiratory failure.
- Friedreich's Ataxia:
- Friedreich's ataxia is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system, leading to progressive muscle weakness, loss of coordination and balance, and heart problems.
- Multiple Sclerosis:
- Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, leading to muscle weakness, fatigue, and problems with vision, coordination, and balance.
- Huntington's Disease:
- Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that affects the brain, leading to involuntary movements, emotional disturbances, and cognitive decline.
- Becker Muscular Dystrophy:
- Becker muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the muscles, leading to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, particularly in the legs and pelvis. It is like Duchenne muscular dystrophy but has a later onset and a slower progression.
