Treatments

There are different ways to tackle the problems caused by MS. Disease modifying drugs can help to reduce the frequency and severity of relapses, whilst many MS symptoms  can be effectively managed using a variety of treatments.

Specialists, such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, continence advisors and psychologists, can help with mobility, coordination, continence, and memory or concentration problems. People with MS should discuss their treatment options and concerns with appropriate healthcare professionals who can help identify the best therapies available. GPs can also make suitable referrals.

Many people with MS find that complementary and alternative therapies can help them feel better.
