Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) treatment in Mexico City

ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a degenerative neurological disease that progressively affects the neurons responsible for controlling the movement of voluntary muscles.

Common manifestations: Muscle weakness that advances over time, difficulty performing fine movements, cramps, and, progressively, trouble speaking, swallowing, or breathing.

When to see a doctor? When there is a loss of strength that progresses without a clear cause or growing difficulty with speech or swallowing, an evaluation is important.

Which specialist treats it? Its assessment falls to neurology, which coordinates comprehensive follow-up. If you notice muscle weakness that steadily advances, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional to guide the study.
