Learning to manage your MS symptoms
Multiple sclerosis is a neurologic condition that causes a disconnect between your brain and the nerves in your body. Managing your multiple sclerosis symptoms depends on which nerve is affected and if the damage is in your brain or spine. Our neurologists and psychiatrists provide diagnostic tests and thorough evaluations to diagnose your MS. Then, we work together to create a personalized care plan that’s right for you. A range of treatment options are available to help improve your quality of life, including:
- Botox to reduce spasticity
- Infusion therapy
- Intrathecal baclofen pump (IBP) to deliver a liquid form of baclofen to the spinal fluid
- Medication management
- Mental health counseling for you and your family
