Combat Muscle Atrophy and Weakness with Advanced Muscle Rehabilitation
Muscle weakness and atrophy become increasingly concerning as we age, affecting not only our strength and balance but also our overall quality of life. At Ambrosia MD in Ottawa, we offer specialized truFlex treatments designed to activate and strengthen weakened muscles, helping you regain muscle mass, improve function, and enhance your well-being.
Understanding Muscle Atrophy and Its Causes
Muscle atrophy, or the decline in muscle mass, can occur for various reasons and is a common issue as we age. This decline in muscle mass—also known as sarcopenia—leads to reduced strength, balance, and metabolic health. As muscle mass decreases, so does our basal metabolic rate, which can result in the body burning fewer calories throughout the day. This not only affects physical strength but also contributes to a poorer quality of life, particularly in older adults, where muscle atrophy is a leading cause of falls and fractures.
Causes of Muscle Atrophy Include:
Aging (Sarcopenia): Natural loss of muscle mass as part of the aging process.
Illness: Conditions that prevent regular physical activity or cause muscle wasting.
Post-Injury: Injuries that limit mobility and lead to muscle deconditioning.
Post-Surgery: Recovery periods that involve limited movement, leading to muscle loss.
Deconditioning: Prolonged periods of inactivity or bed rest.
Lack of Exercise: Inadequate physical activity that fails to maintain muscle mass.
Medical Conditions: Diseases such as muscular dystrophy, infections, or neurological disorders that directly affect muscle tissue.
