The Erlanger Neuromuscular Medicine Clinic provides comprehensive evaluation and management of disorders of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is comprised of components of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. Due to the complex nature of many of these disorders, our clinic is led by a board-certified neuromuscular specialist.
