More than 2 million people worldwide are living with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS causes loss of myelin, a protective material that covers the nerves of our central nervous systems and helps signals travel smoothly through the brain and spinal cord. When myelin is affected, a person's nerves cannot communicate together as they did before.
A neurologist can help determine how progressive MS is based on your medical history.
Exercise and physical therapy are beneficial for people with MS, regardless of your symptom locations or the type of MS you have.
