Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering (myelin) of the nerves, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. While MS is a lifelong condition, many patients can effectively manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life with the right treatment and rehabilitation.

At Dr. Vijay Bathina Neuro Rehab, we offer specialized care for individuals with MS, focusing on personalized rehabilitation programs to help you regain mobility, reduce symptoms, and maintain independence. Our advanced therapies, including robotic therapy and aqua therapy, are designed to help manage the physical limitations caused by MS.

Common Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis:

  • Muscle weakness and coordination issues
  • Fatigue that can interfere with daily activities
  • Numbness or tingling in the limbs
  • Balance problems and dizziness
  • Blurry vision or double vision
  • Difficulty with memory and concentration
  • Muscle spasms or stiffness (spasticity)

Symptoms can vary widely depending on the type of MS and the areas of the nervous system affected. For some, symptoms may be mild, while for others, MS can lead to significant physical disabilities.
