Types of Neuromuscular Disorders
Neuromuscular conditions affect the nerves that pass from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles. They also affect the muscles themselves, and the complex neuromuscular junction between each nerve and muscle (myasthenic conditions).
There are many variations of neuromuscular disorders, most of which require some level of support and homecare. Neuromuscular conditions are complex because they can affect both motor skills and cognition.
The types of neuromuscular disorders that our CareGivers in Central London can support include:
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Motor Neurone Disease
- Spinal and Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
Specialist care requirements may vary between different conditions and from person to person, based on their unique situation. That’s why we define tailored care plans for every individual, whatever their neuromuscular condition may be.

FAQs about our homecare for neuromuscular disorders in Central London
What causes neuromuscular disorders?
Many neuromuscular disorders are inherited or caused by a gene mutation. For various reasons, an affected individual might have no family history of a similar condition.
Neuromuscular conditions may stem from autoimmune or hormonal disorders, or perhaps a viral infection. However, in many cases, unknown factors can play a big part in leading to a condition.
Whatever the cause, it’s vital to find manageable ways to adjust to the various symptoms and effects. Our specialist CareGivers in Central London can help.
What are common symptoms of neuromuscular disorders?
We understand that neuromuscular conditions can have a varied impact on the lives of our Clients. Symptoms of neuromuscular disorders aren’t always the same.
This is why it’s important for our CareGivers to work with you to come up with an individual care plan that meets the Client’s needs.
Common symptoms of neuromuscular diseases can include:
- Muscular weakness
- Muscle wastage
- Muscle pain
- Muscular spasticity
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
Ss a result of these symptoms, it’s often difficult for people with MS, or those living with muscular dystrophy to live independent lives. That’s why our homecare services focus on physical support and help with neuromuscular disorders management. Our CareGivers in Central London also provide invaluable emotional support for Clients facing some challenging symptoms.
What is the treatment for neuromuscular disorders in Central London?
Progressive muscle weakness is often an unavoidable effect of neuromuscular disorders. In these cases, there is no specific cure. However, ongoing physical therapy can reduce (and even reverse) some of the impacts of MS, MD and other disorders.
Our team of specialist homecare providers in Central London will define a care plan to suit your treatment regime. With input from local healthcare professionals, we support our Clients through ongoing treatment, adjusting the level of care we provide accordingly.
How can exercise improve neuromuscular connections?
For certain neuromuscular disorders, physiotherapy and exercise can play an important role in preventing muscle wastage and reducing pain.
Our team of CareGivers can help you or your loved one with transport to appointments and physical therapy sessions.
