Multiple Sclerosis and Wellness with Dr. Barbara Giesser

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. In multiple sclerosis, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin, in the central nervous system. This immune-mediated damage disrupts the normal flow of electrical impulses along the nerves, leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms.

For people with MS, exercise and physical activity can be variously challenging. However, being physically active is one of the most beneficial adaptations to a lifestyle with MS. The six pillars of brain health are nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, social connection and avoidance of risky substances. Advice and educational resources in these areas are part of our neurologic treatment plan.
