A Comprehensive Approach to the Treatment of MS

Think of the body’s immune system as a sort of force field for your body — protecting it against bacteria, viruses and a host of other threats that can cause you to get sick. But sometimes, the immune system itself doesn’t work as it should, mistaking the body’s natural “good” cells for invading “bad” ones (pathogens). This opens the door to any one of a number of debilitating autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS).

At Valhalla Wellness & Medical Centers, we take an innovative approach to the treatment of MS — one that takes a multidisciplinary approach with a team that includes a family medicine doctor, a naturopathic physician, and a chiropractic physician who will guide you in making the lifestyle adjustments that can contribute to healing on a cellular level.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system. The immune system attacks myelin, which is the protective layer around nerve fibers. This, in turn, causes inflammation and scar tissue, or lesions, making it difficult for your brain to send proper signals to the rest of your body. Most common symptoms that arise include fatigue, difficulty walking, balance issues and muscle weakness. 

Currently, there is no cure for an autoimmune disease and conventional treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through medication (either pills, injections or IV infusions). But we take it further — to identify the underlying causes through our functional approach to healing, and then by designing a multi-tiered treatment plan customized for you. This can include changes to your diet, vitamin/mineral remedies, physical therapy, and a wide variety of naturopathic treatments that work together to keep symptoms at bay.

We invite you to experience the difference Valhalla Wellness and Medical Centers can make when it comes to enhancing your health and well-being. We treat a wide variety of conditions using a functional approach to healing. For more information, give us a call today.
