Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness. Abnormal genes hinder protein production for healthy muscles. There are 30+ types, often affecting boys in early childhood with Duchenne MD being the most common, impacting mobility and vital functions. Other types include Becker MD which affects hip, thigh, and shoulder muscles, and Facioscapulohumeral MD targets the face, shoulders, and upper arms. Ayurveda identifies this as Mamsa Kshaya or Sosha , involving muscle wastage due to Vata dosha imbalance. At AyurVAID, our goal is to improve the condition and arrest further disease progression. Our Ayurveda treatment protocols focus on medicines along with physical, and occupational therapies that strengthen and stretch muscles. Panchakarma therapies can help to retain function and range of motion.

FAQ on Muscular Dystrophy

What are the hazardous aspects of muscular dystrophy?

These conditions are a type of myopathy, a disorder of the skeletal muscles. Over time, muscles shrink and become weaker, affecting your ability to walk and perform daily activities. This condition can also affect your heart and lungs when progressed.

Who might get muscular dystrophy?

Muscular dystrophy is genetic. A child who has a parent with muscular dystrophy may inherit a mutated (changed) gene that provokes the constraint. Some people have the mutated gene but don't have muscular dystrophy.

Can Yoga help in managing MD?

Yoga is known to improve a muscular dystrophy patient’s digestion and aid the elimination of toxins. In muscular dystrophy, yoga can help to cope with symptoms and improve the quality of life. Regular practice of yoga can improve blood circulation and strengthens weakening muscles. Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, Gomukhasana, Padhastasana, Pawanmuktasana, Parvatasana, Paschimottanasana, Padmasana, Virabhadrasana, Virasana are the various asanas that are effective in muscular dystrophy.

What foods should a muscular dystrophy patient avoid?

A good practice is to avoid processed foods, such as white bread, sugar, and pasta. Sugar-sweetened beverages, like carbonated drinks, coffee, and alcohol, are also not advised. In some instances, nutritional supplements may be required to fulfill the patient's daily nutrient needs.

How do Ayurveda and Panchakarma help in managing muscular dystrophy?

Ayurveda herbal medicines and Panchakarma therapy can help relieve pain and improve the range of motion by relaxing tight or contracted muscles. This improves muscle function and can improve mobility in people with muscular dystrophy.

Which organ may suffer from muscular dystrophy as a complication?

Some types of MD also affect the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal system, endocrine glands, spine, eyes, brain, or other organs. Some people with MD may develop a swallowing disorder or completely become bedridden due to losing the ability to walk or even stand.
