Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Treatment for a Life Without Limits

Empowering resilience, restoring independence—expert care for Multiple Sclerosis at Vanchilingam.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological condition that affects millions worldwide, often disrupting daily life and long-term plans. We deliver state-of-the-art diagnostics, customized care, and steadfast support to empower patients with MS to face their journey with confidence, reclaim their independence, and live life to its fullest potential.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath covering the nerves. This damage disrupts the flow of electrical signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.

There are different types of MS, including:

Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS): The most common type, characterized by episodes of new or worsening symptoms followed by periods of partial or complete recovery.

Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): A gradual worsening of symptoms without clear relapses or remissions.

Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): A progression of symptoms that follows an initial relapsing-remitting phase.

Symptoms of MS

MS symptoms vary widely depending on the location and extent of nerve damage, but common signs include:

  • Fatigue and weakness.
  • Numbness or tingling, often in the limbs.
  • Difficulty with coordination and balance.
  • Blurred or double vision.
  • Muscle stiffness or spasms.
  • Cognitive challenges, such as memory problems or difficulty concentrating.

Causes and Risk Factors

While the exact cause of MS remains unknown, several factors may contribute to its development:
  • Genetics: A family history of MS may increase susceptibility.
  • Immune System Dysregulation: Abnormal immune responses trigger myelin attacks.
  • Environmental Factors: Low vitamin D levels, smoking, and exposure to certain viruses like Epstein-Barr.
  • Age and Gender: MS is more common in women and typically begins between ages 20 and 40.
