Guillain-Barre Syndrome treatment in Cancún

When weakness that progresses rapidly appears in the legs and spreads to the rest of the body, urgent medical care is usually sought, since it could be Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is a disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves.

What it is: an uncommon neurological condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and, at times, changes in sensation.

How it presents: tingling and loss of strength that begins in the limbs, difficulty walking and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing.

Support during recovery: the physical therapist assists in rehabilitating strength and mobility. In the face of rapidly progressing weakness, the right step is to seek medical care immediately, since Guillain-Barre syndrome requires timely evaluation.
