Find Clarity in Your Muscle Health Journey
When persistent muscle weakness, unexplained pain, or fatigue disrupts your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. You deserve answers that go beyond surface-level symptoms. Our specialised Muscle Biopsy with Special Stains & IHC provides the definitive diagnosis you need to understand what’s happening with your muscles and take control of your health.
Understanding Your Muscle Biopsy Test
This isn’t just a standard biopsy – it’s a comprehensive investigation into your muscle health. We take a small tissue sample and use advanced special stains and immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques to examine your muscle fibres at a microscopic level. This allows us to identify specific proteins, inflammation patterns, and cellular changes that standard tests might overlook. Think of it as a detailed roadmap of your muscle health, revealing exactly what’s causing your symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained muscle weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Persistent muscle pain or tenderness
- Muscle wasting or loss of muscle mass
- Difficulty with everyday activities like climbing stairs or lifting objects
- Muscle cramps or spasms that interfere with daily life
- Family history of muscle disorders
- Abnormal blood test results suggesting muscle inflammation
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms for months or even years before getting proper diagnosis. Don’t let uncertainty delay your treatment.
