Muscle Weakness & ALS Screening

⚡ Muscle Weakness & ALS Screening

Feeling Weaker Than Usual? Losing Strength? Don’t Ignore It — We Can Help.

 

Muscle weakness can be caused by many conditions — most of them treatable.

But when weakness is progressive, one-sided, or unexplained, it’s important to rule out serious neurological causes, including ALS.

At Consultant Corner, we evaluate muscle weakness with expert precision to identify the cause quickly and give you a clear plan forward.

 

👉 If you’ve noticed weakness that’s new or worsening — call us immediately.

⚠️ Red Flags in Muscle Weakness

🟣 One arm or leg becoming weaker

🔵 Difficulty lifting objects or gripping

🟢 Foot drop or tripping

🟠 Trouble raising your arms or climbing stairs

🟡 Muscle twitching (fasciculations)

🟤 Unexplained fatigue with simple tasks

🔺 Handwriting becoming smaller or shakier

These symptoms may signal nerve or muscle disease — and early evaluation matters.

 

🔍 What Causes Muscle Weakness? 

Most muscle weakness is NOT ALS.
Common causes include:

  • Pinched nerves

  • Neuropathy

  • Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy

  • Stroke or TIA-related weakness

  • Myopathies (muscle diseases)

  • Thyroid disorders

  • Vitamin deficiencies

  • Autoimmune neuromuscular conditions

  • Medication side effects

We screen for all of these — not just ALS.

 

🧠 ALS Screening — What We Look For

ALS is rare, but early signs must be taken seriously.
Typical ALS-related symptoms include:

  • Progressive weakness (worsening over weeks–months)

  • Muscle twitching or cramping

  • Weakness spreading from one area to another

  • Difficulty speaking, swallowing, or breathing

Most patients with these symptoms don’t have ALS — but screening helps provide clarity and peace of mind.
