Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, potentially disabling central nervous system disorder. At Tower Health facilities, our experts specialize in the diagnosing and treatment of MS and will create personalized treatment plans to help you reach your treatment goals.
MS can be challenging to diagnose because symptoms vary from one individual to the next. In some people, the disease is intense and progresses quickly, while others can manage symptoms for decades.
Early potential warning signs of MS include:
- Difficulty walking
- Facial pain or weakness
- Fatigue
- Involuntary muscle spasms
- Loss of focus or memory
- Muscle stiffness or weakness
- Numbness and tingling
- Vision problems
Treatment Options for Multiple Sclerosis
If you live with MS, your treatment options will depend on the severity of your disease. Depending on the impact the symptoms have on your daily life, your treatment may include:
- Disease-modifying therapies (DMT) to slow the progression of the disease
- Home health services to manage your condition at home
- Lifestyle changes and support
- Medication management for non-neurological symptoms of MS, including pain, spasticity, anxiety, depression, and urinary problems
If you need infusion therapy for DMT or medications, we offer outpatient infusion centers in several locations so you can get treatment close to your home.
