ALS and Neuromuscular Disorders
We offer comprehensive testing and the latest medications and therapies.
What Are Neuromuscular Disorders?
Neuromuscular disorders affect the function of peripheral nerves (those located outside your brain and spinal cord) and muscles. They may involve:
- Motor nerves, which activate muscles that control movement and involuntary functions such as breathing, digestion and heart rate
- Sensory nerves, which detect touch, temperature and pain
There are hundreds of neuromuscular disorders. In general, healthcare providers classify them based on how they impact your neuromuscular system.
