Can muscle atrophy be recovered?

  If the muscle atrophy is short-lived and the patient’s condition is mild, most patients may return to normal through appropriate rehabilitation or exercise.  Muscle atrophy is mostly caused by muscle disorders or neurological dysfunction, and the common causes are neurogenic myasthenia gravis, myogenic myasthenia gravis, disuse myasthenia gravis, and other causes of myasthenia gravis. In the case of disuse muscular atrophy, most patients may recover through rehabilitation physiotherapy, while muscle atrophy caused by neurological or other factors can also be properly restored through regular treatment, reducing the chance of complications such as pneumonia, pressure sores and paralysis. In addition, patients can also take medications, such as nerve-nourishing drugs for treatment, which also have a certain improvement effect.  Patients with muscle atrophy should eat more nutritious food and exercise for more than half an hour a day to restore muscle strength. In addition, treatments such as hot compresses, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and tui-na can also be done in the area of muscle atrophy to stimulate the muscle cells to grow again.
