HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MUSCULAR ATROPHY
Muscle atrophy is the wasting or loss of muscle tissue.There are two types
of muscle atrophy.
·
Disuse
atrophy occurs from a lack of physical activity. In most people, muscle atrophy
is caused by not using the muscles enough. People with seated jobs, medical
conditions that limit their movement, or decreased activity levels can lose
muscle tone and develop atrophy. This type of atrophy can be reversed with
exercise and better nutrition. Bedridden people can have significant muscle
wasting. Astronauts who are away from the Earth's gravity can develop decreased muscle
tone after just a few days of weightlessness.
·
The
most severe type of muscle atrophy is neurogenic atrophy. It occurs when there
is an injury to, or disease of, a nerve that connects to the muscle. This type
of muscle atrophy tends to occur more suddenly than disuse atrophy.
