There are around 150 neuromuscular conditions that we see and seek to provide support for at NMC. These are genetic and inherited, characterised by steady progressive muscle weakening.
The physical consequences for those with neuromuscular conditions are some degree of physical disability. Around one in three people who come to NMC use a power wheelchair.
Conditions we treat regularly include Duchene muscular dystrophy, Limb Girdle muscular dystrophy, FSHD, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, CMT and Myotonic Dystrophy.
You can find an A-Z of conditions on the Muscular Dystrophy UK website. This list doesn’t include all neuromuscular conditions. If you don’t see yours and are wondering if we can help you, please contact us.
