Neuromuscular disorders strike 1.5 million Americans annually, afflicting both young and old. Diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis and myopathies are debilitating, often progressive, and sometimes fatal. Weakness, paralysis, respiratory distress and intractable pain caused by nerve and muscle disease dramatically alters quality of life for both patients and families. We have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders and are committed to making sure you receive the care you need.
The Neuromuscular Center at CTNC is led by Adam Horvit, MD and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of these and other neuromuscular disorders. We offer comprehensive evaluations, including EMG and nerve conduction studies, to achieve accurate diagnosis and state-of-the-art treatment modalities to optimize quality of life.
Adam D. Horvit, MD is the Medical Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association and ALS Association Clinics of Central Texas. They are multidisciplinary clinics and include neurology, respiratory services, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
This place is the best. Dr. Couch listens patiently, is empathetic, and is the first doctor to help me find a treatment that works. He also understood my hesitation to keep trying new medications after so many have let me down. He gently suggested my treatment a year ago and talked through my concerns until I felt confident. Thanks to CTNC, my quality of life has improved drastically. I recommend you stop searching and visit this clinic right away.
