Neuromuscular Disorders

Neuromuscular Disorders

Precision Diagnosis. Personalized Therapy. Empowered Living.

Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control voluntary muscles and the communication between nerves and muscles. These conditions can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, pain, and even paralysis if not diagnosed and managed early. At Rochana Medical Center, we offer expert care for a wide range of neuromuscular disorders under the guidance of Dr. Umesh T, a highly experienced Senior Consultant Neurologist with over 31 years of expertise in complex neurological conditions.

What Are Neuromuscular Disorders?

Neuromuscular disorders involve dysfunction of the muscles, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, or motor neurons. They may be inherited or acquired and range from mild to life-threatening. Common conditions include:

  • Myasthenia Gravis

  • Motor Neuron Disease (MND/ALS)

  • Peripheral Neuropathy

  • Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

  • Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

  • Muscular Dystrophies

  • Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis

  • Metabolic and Toxic Myopathies

Key Symptoms
  • Progressive muscle weakness (especially in limbs, face, or eyes)

  • Muscle cramps, twitching, or stiffness

  • Fatigue that worsens with activity

  • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or lifting objects

  • Drooping eyelids or double vision

  • Difficulty swallowing or speaking

  • Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the limbs

Prompt evaluation is critical to prevent complications and long-term disability.
