Multiple Sclerosis
Living with Multiple Sclerosis means navigating symptoms that can shift from day to day—sometimes it’s balance and coordination, other times it’s fatigue, vision, or focus. At the Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, we recognize that MS is not the same for everyone. That’s why our care begins with you: your experiences, your challenges, and your goals.
Multiple Sclerosis affects both the body and the mind, and that unpredictability can feel discouraging. By carefully listening to your story and identifying how symptoms show up in daily life, we design a plan that builds on your strengths while addressing areas of difficulty. Our goal is to make life more manageable, less overwhelming, and more empowering—step by step. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing MS for years, our approach is compassionate, flexible, and focused on helping you preserve independence and improve quality of life. Progress may be gradual, but it is always meaningful.
Areas of focus:
-
Balance problems and fall prevention
-
Muscle stiffness, weakness, or spasticity
-
Fatigue and reduced endurance
-
Cognitive shifts, such as brain fog or memory challenges
-
Sensory changes (vision, tingling, numbness)
-
Difficulty with walking or coordination
-
Emotional stress linked to Multiple Sclerosis
How We Support Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
At Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, our support is designed to meet you where you are. We focus on strengthening what you can do, easing what feels difficult, and encouraging progress in a way that feels sustainable and hopeful.
Functional neurology leverages neuroplasticity to help rewire and strengthen neural pathways that have been compromised by multiple sclerosis (MS), aiming to improve overall brain function and reduce symptoms. Through targeted therapies, the brain is encouraged to form new connections that can compensate for damaged areas, enhancing motor control, coordination, and cognitive function. One powerful tool in this approach is Immersive Medical Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy, which stimulates mirror neurons by creating visual feedback of functional limb movement, even when physical movement is impaired. This visual stimulation helps retrain the brain's perception of the affected limbs, promoting improved mobility and functional recovery in MS patients.
Our approach begins with a detailed, non-invasive assessment to determine where support is most needed—whether that’s mobility, energy, or cognitive resilience. From there, we design a plan that matches your comfort level and personal goals, so that care fits your life and helps you move forward with confidence.
