What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering (myelin) of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. This disruption interferes with the normal flow of nerve impulses, leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms that may come and go or steadily worsen over time.
MS is most often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and it affects each person differently. Some individuals experience mild symptoms, while others may face more significant disability. The exact cause of MS remains unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
MS symptoms vary widely depending on the area of the central nervous system affected. Common symptoms include:
Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs
Vision problems, such as double vision or optic neuritis
Tingling or pain sensations
Fatigue that interferes with daily activities
Muscle stiffness or spasms
Balance and coordination issues
Problems with bladder or bowel function
Cognitive changes, such as difficulty with memory or concentration
Mood changes, including depression or anxiety
MS can be unpredictable, with periods of relapse and remission or progressive worsening over time. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to managing symptoms and preventing long-term disability.

Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs)
These medications are the foundation of MS treatment and help reduce inflammation and prevent new lesions in the central nervous system. Options include:
Injectable Medications: Such as interferon beta and glatiramer acetate
Oral Medications: Including fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate, and teriflunomide

Infusion Therapies: Such as ocrelizumab (OcrevusⓇ), natalizumab (TysabriⓇ), and alemtuzumab (LemtradaⓇ)
Our team monitors treatment effectiveness and side effects to ensure optimal results.
Symptom Management
MS can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms that require targeted treatment, including:
Muscle relaxants for spasticity and stiffness
Medications for fatigue, depression, or bladder dysfunction

Pain management, including neuropathic pain control
Cognitive and behavioral therapy for mood or memory issues
Rehabilitation Services
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy play a vital role in preserving function and improving mobility and independence. At CNS, we are building a robust rehabilitation program to meet these needs.
Lifestyle and Wellness Strategies
We emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle in managing MS. Our team offers guidance on:
Anti-inflammatory nutrition and supplementation
Regular, adaptive exercise programs

Stress reduction techniques and sleep optimization
Mental Health and Emotional Support

Early Detection and Diagnosis of MS
Recognizing the early signs of MS is critical.
