At Sentara, we understand the challenges of living with a neuromuscular or nerve disorder. These conditions occur when nerve impulses that move muscles are impaired. The most common symptom of neuromuscular disease is muscle weakness.
Our highly skilled neurology experts are dedicated to helping their patients manage their symptoms and live full, active lives.
