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.
