Functional Neurology for Multiple Sclerosis: Enhancing Neural Function and Quality of Life
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation within the central nervous system, leading to a wide range of motor, sensory, cognitive, and autonomic impairments. At our clinic, we leverage advanced functional neurology techniques to optimize brain and nervous system function, support neuroplasticity, and help you regain control over your symptoms and daily life.
At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we focus on restoring neurological balance and maximizing your body’s inherent healing potential.
Understanding MS: A Dynamic Neurological Challenge
Multiple sclerosis disrupts communication between neurons by damaging myelin sheaths and triggering inflammation, which results in the following:
- Muscle weakness and spasticity
- Sensory disturbances such as numbness and tingling
- Visual impairment and oculomotor dysfunction
- Cognitive challenges including brain fog, memory loss, and slowed processing
- Fatigue and dysautonomia including bladder and bowel dysfunction
- Balance and coordination issues from cerebellar involvement
These symptoms stem from functional network disruptions throughout the brain and spinal cord.
Comprehensive Functional Neurology Assessment
Our multidisciplinary evaluation targets the neural systems affected by MS, including the following:
- Quantitative EEG (qEEG)
Detects cortical slowing, disrupted connectivity, and brainwave imbalances related to neuroinflammation and cognitive symptoms. - Video Oculography (VOG)
Assesses oculomotor control and brainstem function to pinpoint visual and vestibular deficits. - Autonomic Nervous System Testing
Heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity measurements evaluate autonomic dysregulation common in MS. - Vestibular and Proprioceptive Testing
Identifies sensory integration issues contributing to balance and coordination problems. - Neurocognitive Testing
Objective assessment of memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function guides targeted cognitive rehab.
Functional Neurology Treatment: Personalized Neuro-Rehabilitation for MS
Our evidence-informed protocols promote neuroplasticity and functional recovery through the following:
- Brain and Brainstem Activation
Targeted stimulation using low-level laser therapy, neuromodulation, and coordinated eye movement exercises enhances neural circuit efficiency. - Vestibular and Oculomotor Rehabilitation
Restores gaze stability, reduces dizziness, and improves spatial orientation. - Autonomic Regulation Therapy
Biofeedback, breath retraining, and vagal nerve stimulation support cardiovascular stability and reduce fatigue. - Sensory-Motor Integration and Coordination Training
Improves proprioceptive feedback and motor planning to reduce fall risk and enhance mobility. - Neuro-Metabolic Optimization
Clinical nutrition and mitochondrial support reduce oxidative stress and support cellular repair mechanisms. - Cognitive Rehabilitation
Customized brain training exercises help restore memory, focus, and executive function.
Why Functional Neurology for MS?
MS management often emphasizes symptom control but overlooks the nervous system’s functional adaptability. Our approach:
✔ Identifies specific neural dysfunctions underlying your symptoms
✔ Promotes adaptive neuroplasticity to improve neurological function
✔ Supports autonomic and sensory integration for better daily living
✔ Offers personalized, drug-free rehabilitation strategies that complement medical care
