About Muscle Conditions

Muscle conditions managed by Internal Medicine specialists involve the comprehensive diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of disorders affecting the muscular system. This includes evaluating symptoms like pain, weakness, cramps, or stiffness to identify underlying causes such as inflammatory myopathies (e.g., polymyositis), metabolic disorders, medication side effects, or systemic diseases like thyroid dysfunction. The internist employs a detailed patient history, physical examination, blood tests (like CK levels), electromyography (EMG), and imaging studies to formulate a precise diagnosis. Treatment is personalized and may involve medication management, physical therapy referrals, lifestyle modifications, and addressing any contributing systemic conditions to restore function and alleviate discomfort.
