About Neuromuscular Disorder

Neuromuscular disorder management by a neurologist involves a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach for conditions affecting the nerves that control voluntary muscles and the muscles themselves. This is not a single procedure but a specialized field of care. The neurologist conducts a detailed evaluation, including a thorough neurological exam, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, blood tests, and sometimes genetic testing or muscle biopsy. Treatment is highly personalized and may include medications to manage symptoms, physical and occupational therapy, assistive devices, and in some cases, advanced therapies like immunomodulation or gene therapy. The goal is to improve function, slow disease progression, manage symptoms, and enhance the patient's quality of life through a coordinated, long-term care plan.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
