Neuromuscular disorders can weaken the nerves that control your body's muscles and movements. Gradually these diseases can cause twitches, aches, cramping, and often times the inability to use those muscles again. Shriners Hospitals for Children — Chicago, is an MDA affiliated clinic. We offer multidisciplinary team care for children with various forms of musculardystrophy and neuromuscular diseases. Kenneth Silver, MD discusses neuromuscular disorders in children, and how the MDA clinic is making strides in providing comfort and care for its patients.
