Advanced Distal Muscular Dystrophy Treatment in India

Does weakness in your hands, forearms, or lower legs interfere with your daily activities?

You might be afflicted by distal muscular dystrophy. It is a rare, genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and gradually wastes away the body’s most peripheral muscles.

Although the disorder is progressive, an early diagnosis and the proper treatment protocol can significantly improve mobility and quality of life. India has become a destination of choice for distal muscular dystrophy patients from all over the world looking for better and more affordable treatment, such as regenerative therapy, physical rehabilitation, and genetic counseling.

At MedicoExperts, we provide end-to-end care from diagnosis to personalized care plans. This results in improved outcomes and easier day-to-day living. If you or a loved one is considering treatment, we are here to guide you through the process.

But one day when Mark and his son were chit-chatting his son began to share his symptoms of distal muscular dystrophy – an incurable genetic condition that affects the muscles severely. 

This news filled Mark with fear for his son’s future and he wanted to do everything in his power to make sure that he could live as normal a life as possible.

Desperate for answers, Mark did extensive research into potential treatments for muscular dystrophy but nothing seemed promising until one day at work when he mentioned it to one of his colleagues – Mr. Robert who suggested MedicoExperts – a well-known name in the healthcare industry specializing in cutting edge treatment plans and therapies.

Intrigued by this suggestion, Mark decided to look further into MedicoExperts and what they had on offer before reaching out to them with all of his concerns about finding the best possible treatment plan for his son’s condition.

The team collaborated with Mark throughout every stage of the process and ultimately identified that he was experiencing health problems, including immune deficiency, leg weakness, and pain, that were contributing to his declining health.

With the help of stem cell therapy and physical therapy, they were able to craft a personalized treatment plan for Mark’s son. Stem cell therapy was used to regenerate the damaged muscle fibers and physical therapy improved the strength of his muscles. 

What Is Distal Muscular Dystrophy?

Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that affect the muscles.

Muscular dystrophy is a condition that results in the gradual weakening and reduction of muscle mass due to abnormal genes (mutations) that disrupt the production of necessary muscle-building proteins.

The type and severity of the muscle weakness depend on the specific gene mutation present. There are several treatments available to mitigate the severity of symptoms and slow down the progression of this disorder.

Although the symptoms of distal muscular dystrophy can be debilitating, there is hope.

Distal muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare muscle disease that can run in families.

It mostly affects muscles that are far from the center of the body, like the hands, arms, lower legs, and feet. The disease gets worse slowly over time. It can make it hard to walk, stay balanced, or do small things like writing or buttoning a shirt. DMD usually starts when a person becomes an adult. It happens because of changes in the genes that help muscles stay strong and heal properly.

How Is Distal Muscular Dystrophy Diagnosed?

Finding the problem early is very important. It can help you manage the symptoms and feel better. If you have weak muscles in your arms or legs, you should not ignore them. If simple everyday tasks feel hard to do, it’s a good idea to see a doctor. A step-by-step check-up can help find out what is wrong. This can help you get the right treatment and support.

1. Clinical Evaluation:
   Your doctor will look at your medical history. They will also check your body for signs like muscle weakness, trouble with balance, or problems doing small tasks.
2. Electromyography (EMG):
   This test checks how your muscles work using tiny electrical signals. It helps doctors find any problems that may be caused by muscular dystrophy.
3. Muscle Biopsy:
   A small piece of muscle may be taken from your body. Doctors look at it under a microscope to check for any signs of muscle damage.
4. Genetic Testing:
   Genetic testing is a clear way to find changes in the genes linked to distal muscular dystrophy. It can confirm the diagnosis and help doctors choose the best treatment for you.

What Are the Treatment Options?

There is no cure for distal muscular dystrophy right now. But different types of treatments can help you feel better. These treatments can help control the symptoms. They can also help you stay strong and do daily activities more easily.

Stem Cell Therapy:
It is a hopeful treatment that helps repair weak muscles and slow down the disease.

Physical Therapy:
The treatment helps improve movement, flexibility, and muscle strength. It also lowers the chance of muscles becoming tight or stuck. This can make your everyday life easier and better.
