Well, there is no treatment for such a thing as Muscle Biopsy Disorder seeing as it does not exist. A Muscle Biopsy is a test run to diagnose actual diseases, to distinguish wether a disease is muscular, neurological, or neuromuscular, and if the problem is neuromuscular a muscle biopsy helps to pinpoint the exact disorder that is present.

Now, an alternative to a Muscle Biopsy, especially in younger humans (since the test is extremly painful) would be a Diagnostic Needle Muscle Biopsy instead of an actual Open Biopsy, or an Electromyography Test (EMG) could be preformed. EMG's are very acurate, however they only diagnose neuromuscular disorders like MS or Muscular Dystrophy. An EMG would be completely usless if the disease was simply muscular or neurological.
