Common symptoms of neurogenic muscle atrophy include lower-limb paralysis, muscle weakness, low back pain, varicose veins in the calves, and an inability to stand for prolonged periods. Neurogenic muscle atrophy results either from primary muscle disease or from neurological dysfunction. Treatment options include supplementation with vitamin B complex or vitamin B₂, as well as supportive therapies such as massage and acupuncture.
