Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the communication within the brain and between the brain and body.  The cause of MS is still unknown. Scientists believe there is a combination of environmental and genetic factors that contribute to developing MS.  The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease.

Shore Points Physical therapists evaluate and address their patient’s ability to move and function, with particular emphasis on walking and mobility, strength, balance, posture, fatigue, and pain. The goal is to promote independence, safety, and achieve/maintain optimal functioning.

Our facility is equipped with many pieces of equipment to address these deficits, including but not limited to upper and lower extremity weight machines, treadmill, recumbent bicycle, upright bicycle, upper extremity bicycle, parallel bars, stairs, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. Don’t let MS stop you from being strong!
