Hereditary Myopathy treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Hereditary myopathy is a group of diseases of genetic origin that affect the muscles, causing weakness and difficulties with movement that are usually present from an early age or appear progressively.

Common symptoms: muscle weakness, fatigue with exertion, difficulty climbing stairs, running, or lifting objects, and in some cases cramps or changes in muscle tone.

Context: because it has a familial component, it can appear in several members of the same family, and its course varies according to the type.

Which specialist treats it? The support of the physical therapist and the sports medicine physician can help manage strength and mobility in this type of myopathy. If muscle weakness is persistent or there is a family history, a professional evaluation helps guide the follow-up.
