Muscle Diseases

Muscle diseases, or myopathies, encompass a variety of conditions that affect the muscles, leading to weakness, pain, and reduced function. These disorders can be inherited, acquired, or caused by metabolic or inflammatory processes. Dr. Bharat Rastogi helps patients diagnose and manage different muscle diseases through a detailed clinical examination, blood tests, muscle biopsies, and imaging studies. Common conditions like muscular dystrophy, inflammatory myopathies, and mitochondrial myopathies often require a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Management may include medications, physical therapy, and supportive care to maintain muscle strength and prevent complications. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving outcomes and quality of life for individuals with muscle diseases.
