What kind of doctor treats muscular dystrophy?
I have SMA type III (spinal muscular atrophy), a form of muscular dystrophy, and I have always seen and/or been treated by neurologists recommended by MDA. You can contact the national Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) either locally or online at http://www.mda.org for additional information or if you have questions you've been unable to find answers for. They are invaluable to families and individuals alike. Further personal research can be done using a search engine such as Google and entering the terms "neurology" and "muscular dystrophy."

Other forms, like Myotonic Dystrophy, also affect females and can present with different symptoms and progression.
