Understanding Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a chronic autoimmune disease of the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) that disrupts the exchange of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. With MS, there is an abnormal response of the body’s immune system directed against the central nervous system.
Scientists believe MS is triggered by a combination of factors, such as:
Symptoms of MS occur due to damage of the central nervous system, and most often include:
Neuroimmunology and MS Expertise, Diagnosis and Treatment
Neuroimmunology is a subspecialty of medicine that combines neuroscience (the study of the nervous system) with immunology, the study of the immune system.
When the immune system attacks healthy nerve cells, our experts assist in determining if a neuroimmunology condition may be the root cause. Conditions we diagnose include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG).
Following the diagnosis of a neuroimmunology condition, our health care providers work with each patient to deliver the best treatment options for their specific needs. Our team will offer support, guidance, and whole-person care at every step.
When it comes to your brain and nervous system, you need a place that considers every aspect of your neurological health. Here, you can expect world-class expertise and leading-edge treatments for the spectrum of neurological conditions. Our experienced neurologists are here to find answers for you and help you overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.
We bring together clinical research and innovative treatments with an approach that considers the whole you — not just your symptoms. Together, we’ll create the treatment plan that’s best for you, with evidence-based therapies like deep brain stimulation, medication, radiology and physical therapy.
