Lou Gehrig’s Disease Care in Placentia, CA

National attention was first brought to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis when it ended the career of baseball player Lou Gehrig in 1939. The disease, named after Lou Gehrig, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the brain that affects voluntary muscle movement. As motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord degenerate, muscles begin to shrink and weaken, eventually leading to paralysis of the arms and legs. Speech, breathing, and swallowing are also affected in advanced stages of the disease.
