Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-term neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms vary from person to person and may affect balance, mobility, strength, coordination and energy levels.
While there is currently no cure, physiotherapy and rehabilitation can help manage symptoms, maintain independence and improve quality of life.
Signs & Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
Symptoms can vary but may include:
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
- Balance and coordination problems
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle stiffness or spasms
- Vision changes
- Dizziness
- Bladder or bowel problems
- Difficulty walking
What Can Cause Multiple Sclerosis?
The exact cause of MS is unknown. It is thought to develop when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord.
A combination of genetic and environmental factors is believed to play a role.
