Multiple Sclerosis that Slows Down the Nerve Signals is now Treatable

Most of the diseases or disorders affect human body exhibiting symptoms that facilitate their recognition. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) also displays its signs with multiple symptoms like visual disturbances, muscle spasms, fatigue, loss of sensation and many others.

Basically affecting the nerves of the brain and the spinal cord, Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the nerves of the central nervous system degenerate. The insulation to the nerves is provided by myelin and these improves the conduction of impulses along the nerves greatly helping in the communication between brain and spinal cord cells with the other parts of the body. However the degeneration of myelin affects this communication as the electrical impulses that travel along these nerves decelerate. As more nerves get affected the person affected starts feeling the interference in functions controlled by the nervous system such as speech, walking, writing, memory and vision.

Multiple Sclerosis is commonly diagnosed in the age group of 20 – 40 years, however can occur at any age. This is a commonly found problem in women than in men. It is understood that it may occur as a result of a combination of genetic, infectious and environmental factors. The very common symptoms seen in a person affected with MS may resemble the symptoms of any other nervous disease or disorders. These may be problems in coordination in making movements, problems in walking, numbness, fatigue, double vision, rapid eye movements, muscle spasms, tingling or pain, burning sensation in arms and legs, slurred speech, unable to concentrate, dizziness, depression and many more.

The Problems like Multiple Sclerosis do call for medical intervention and treatment and the most important part of a treatment is finding a thorough and good neurologist. As there is no definite cure for this; it involves therapies to find some relief and hence is highly important to find an experienced neurologist who can guide you through this phase in getting back to your normal life. And in such a scenario, Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic headed by Dr. Avneesh Gupte is one of the best hospitals to approach. With its team of doctors who are highly competent and dedicated to their profession, MS may receive a full and complete treatment.

Doctors at this hospital say they have commonly found block in the neck veins (Internal Jugular Vein) and spine veins (Azygous vein) in the Multiple Sclerosis patients. As there is no known cure for MS now they believe in the liberation surgery and stem cell treatment. Although the degenerated cells cannot be reverted back, the doctors have found that this liberation surgery has worked wonders for many of their patients.

Physiotherapy – The Non-Invasive Way to Heal

Sports and Physiotherapy, the two closely associated words have literally been synonymous to each other since long. However with extensive research in this area and advancement in technology, physiotherapy has extended its arms to assist in healing and restoring activities of individuals affected by illness and injuries in many other areas of medical science. 

Physiotherapy helps in restoring the function and movements close to normal in people who are affected by injuries, illness leading to a temporary or permanent disability. However with the realization of advantages of physiotherapy, it has become an integral part of rehabilitation from most of the disabilities lead from illnesses or injuries. Identifying the problem and maximizing the quality of life without any surgery, the principles of physiotherapy emphasize on exercises and the alteration of lifestyle to find solutions to health problems.

Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic – Best Neurologists

Neurology, a branch of medical science which deals with our nervous system, spine and brain, has been studied and practiced officially since the 16th century. Though this branch of medical science is older still, it became official known and recognized as a distinct branch only then. With the growth in technology, things that were thought to be impossible in neurological sciences have become possible today.

One of the most revolutionary breakthrough came forward with the Navigation System. While earlier a surgeon had to make multiple holes during surgery to access the tumor, with the assistance of the Navigation System, the neurosurgeon can get the shortest safe distance to access the tumor.

As we learn more about neurology and the problems involved, the way we think and deal with it changes. Many problems which were considered as fatal are now being treated and many of the patients recover and lead a very normal life. With the minimum invasive surgery the recovery time is also shorter.
