WHAT IS MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY?

Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that weakens the body's muscles gradually. It can wear out the emotional, physical and financial condition of the patients as well as their caregivers.

The neurosurgeon whom Meditourz is associated with has already helped more than 1,700 patients receive the best treatments.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY?

Muscular Dystrophy is a group of more than 30 genetic disorders that causes muscles to weaken and break down. It is a progressive condition and usually leads to severe disability or death.
Patients eventually lose the ability to do simple things like walk, sit upright, breathe easily and move their limbs.


WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (MD)?


There are 3 common types:

 
  • Duchenne MD: Seen in young males between ages 2 and 6.
  • Becker MD: Causes less severe symptoms than Duchenne. Affects males and females.
  • Limb-Girdle MD: Affects males and females equally. Symptoms usually start between 8 and 15 years of age, and progress slowly.

HOW DOES AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL THERAPY HELP WITH MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY?

Autologous Stem Cell Therapy is highly effective as it uses the body's own stem cells, which repair and restructure tissue, reduce inflammation and promote the creation of healthy cells. Many patients have seen improvement of muscle and joint function and slowing muscle degeneration after this therapy.
At Meditourz, we can connect you with the top medical fraternity and get you access to the best treatments and therapies that promise to enhance the patient's quality of life.
