More Details
At Children's Health℠, we work with babies and children who have a wide range of conditions that affect their nerves and muscles. Some neuromuscular diseases are genetic, and others may be caused by injuries, autoimmune diseases or infections. These diseases can affect different groups of muscles and different kinds of nerves.
Children’s Health has one of the nation’s largest programs for pediatric neuromuscular medicine. We offer the latest diagnostic tools and treatments for these rare and complex conditions. Our affiliation with UT Southwestern means your child may also be able to join research studies that give them access to new treatments.
