Multiple Sclerosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at Dr. Hamza Physio
Overview
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. MS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, leading to communication issues between the brain and the rest of the body. Over time, this can cause nerve deterioration or permanent damage.
At Dr. Hamza Physio, located in the AIH Building, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, we offer specialized physiotherapy to help patients with Multiple Sclerosis manage their symptoms, improve mobility, and maintain independence.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
MS symptoms vary widely depending on the location and severity of nerve damage. Common symptoms include:
Fatigue and weakness
Numbness or tingling in the limbs
Muscle spasms and stiffness
Difficulty walking and balance problems
Blurred or double vision
Cognitive issues such as memory problems and difficulty concentrating
Loss of coordination
Bladder and bowel dysfunction
Early diagnosis and physiotherapy can help slow the progression of symptoms and improve quality of life.
Types of Multiple Sclerosis
MS is classified into different types based on disease progression:
Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS): The most common form, characterized by periods of symptom flare-ups followed by partial or complete recovery.
Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): A steady worsening of symptoms without distinct relapses or remissions.
Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): Initially starts as RRMS but transitions into a more progressive form.
Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS): A rare form with continuous worsening of symptoms along with occasional acute relapses.
