Nerve & Muscle Disorder Treatment

Specialized Care for Nerve and Muscle Disorders

Nerve and muscle disorders encompass conditions affecting peripheral nerves, muscles, and neuromuscular junctions, leading to challenges in movement and sensation. At Dr. Srikanth Neuro in Hyderabad, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.

Understanding Nerve and Muscle Disorders

These disorders may stem from genetic conditions, autoimmune diseases, infections, or other health issues, causing symptoms like weakness, pain, numbness, and impaired mobility. Our team is dedicated to addressing these challenges with comprehensive care.

Common Nerve and Muscle Disorders We Treat

• Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage causing weakness, numbness, and pain, often in the hands and feet.
• Myasthenia Gravis: An autoimmune disorder leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.
• Muscular Dystrophy: Genetic diseases causing progressive muscle weakness and degeneration.
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy.
• Guillain-Barré Syndrome: An autoimmune condition causing muscle weakness and paralysis.
• Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis: Inflammatory muscle diseases causing weakness and, in some cases, skin rashes.
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A genetic disorder affecting peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy.

Diagnostic Services

We use advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify nerve and muscle disorders:

• Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Measures muscle and nerve electrical activity to diagnose conditions like peripheral neuropathy and myasthenia gravis.
• Muscle Biopsy: Analyzes muscle tissue to diagnose muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathies.
• Genetic Testing: Identifies mutations linked to hereditary disorders like muscular dystrophy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
• Blood Tests: Detects markers of muscle damage, autoimmune activity, or metabolic issues.

Treatment Options

Our specialists create personalized treatment plans to address each patient’s condition:

• Medications:
  • Immunosuppressants to manage autoimmune disorders.
  • Steroids to reduce inflammation in conditions like polymyositis.
  • Anticonvulsants or antidepressants for neuropathic pain management.
  • Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for severe autoimmune conditions.
• Physical and Occupational Therapy:
  • Physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility.
  • Occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills and independence.
• Assistive Devices:
  • Braces and orthotics to support weak muscles.
  • Mobility aids like canes, walkers, or wheelchairs.
• Surgical Interventions:
  • Nerve decompression surgery to relieve compressed nerves.
  • Tendon transfer surgery to improve function in cases of muscle weakness.
