Can muscular dystrophy be cured and how is it treated?

Patient's question:

My young niece is in sixth grade and is quite meat-poor. She is much shorter than children of the same age. Can muscular dystrophy be treated and how is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Muscle dystrophy, if you want to treat it, you need to assess the severity of the harm to the nerves and blood vessels. If it's only temporary, then through blood-activating medications, acupuncture, and physical therapy, you can stabilize and unblock the obstructed blood vessels, providing nutrients to the swollen muscles, which can achieve a certain degree of complete recovery. However, it cannot be said to guarantee a complete cure. If the malnutrition is solely due to a lack of muscle, it can be fundamentally restored through nutritional adjustments.
