Neuromuscular Disorders Special Focus Services

Dr. Mahajan has advanced training and a deep interest in diagnosing and managing neuromuscular disorders—conditions that affect the muscles, peripheral nerves, or the junction between them. Myopathies and Muscular Dystrophies These are disorders where muscles become weak or damaged due to genetic or acquired factors. Dr. Mahajan evaluates and manages: • Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD): Progressive hip and shoulder weakness, often hereditary • Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy: Seen in children/adolescents, X-linked, affects walking and heart muscles • Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD): Involves facial, shoulder, and upper arm muscles.... • Inflammatory myopathies: Polymyositis, dermatomyositis – autoimmune muscle inflammation • Metabolic myopathies: Like Pompe disease, often detected by enzyme or genetic testing • Full diagnostic workup including blood tests (CK levels), EMG, MRI, genetic panels, and muscle biopsy referrals • Long-term rehabilitation, mobility aid planning, and cardiac/respiratory screening
