The most common of these diseases
is Myasthenia Gravis, an
autoimmune disease.
Neuromuscular disorders affect the nerves that control voluntary muscles and the nerves that communicate sensory information back to the brain. Nerve cells (neurons) send and receive electrical messages to and from the body to help control voluntary muscles.
The most common of these diseases is Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease, where the immune system produces antibodies that attach themselves to the neuromuscular junction and prevent transmission of the nerve impulse to the muscle.
Dr. Sean Burke, the only Neuromuscular Specialist in the area, leads this clinic. We treat numbness, tingling, limb & back pain, muscle weakness, rippling & shrinking muscles, recurrent falls & gait failure, neuropathy & other nerve diseases, neuromuscular junction disorders, Myasthenia Gravis, Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), swallowing difficulties, double vision, EMG/NCS testing, evoked potential testing, and nerve & muscle biopsy.
Remember, only a doctor can determine the clear-cut treatments for distinct conditions.
