Neuromuscular disorders are complex conditions that affect the body’s nervous system and muscles. At Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Neuroscience Institute, our team includes leading specialists who have a deep understanding of neuromuscular disorders and how they impact your life.
We combine sophisticated tests with our physicians’ extensive experience to provide a precise diagnosis. We then develop a personalized treatment plan using the latest therapies to help you manage your changing symptoms and challenges over time.
Neuromuscular disorders are a range of medical conditions that affect how the nervous system communicates with your muscles. This faulty communication causes muscle breakdown.
Your specific symptoms will depend on which part of the body is affected. Neuromuscular disorders are either inherited (genetic) or autoimmune (when your immune system attacks healthy tissue). Most are progressive, which means the condition worsens over time and begins to affect more parts of the body.
