Which doctor to consult for muscle weakness ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have options: More than one specialty of doctor can handle this issue, but you may want to start with a physiatrist or neurologist. Both specialties care for patients with muscle and nerve problems, and they can perform specialized tests such as electrodiagnostic studies to help diagnose the problem, if needed.
