Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist do?
A Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist is a Neurology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting nerves, muscles, and the neuromuscular junction. After completing Neurology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general neurologist typically handles day to day.
What conditions does a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist treat?
A Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist commonly treats ALS, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies, peripheral neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myopathies. Many also see closely related conditions within Neurology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general neurologist.
When should I see a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist?
Consider seeing a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist when you have unexplained weakness, numbness, or fatigue that may be neuromuscular in origin, when a primary care clinician or general neurologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.
How is a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist different from a general neurologist?
Both are board-eligible neurologists, but a Neuromuscular Medicine neurologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting nerves, muscles, and the neuromuscular junction. General neurologists treat a broad range of Neurology concerns; Neuromuscular Medicine neurologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with ALS, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies, peripheral neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myopathies.
