Management of multiple sclerosis
• Mild spasticity of the limbs can be managed by regular stretching exercises and certain specialized programs such as water therapy. Yoga asanas are highly beneficial and help prevent further deterioration of the disorder. Yoga improves flexibility of the limbs and prevents stiffness. Physical therapy or physiotherapy on a regular basis is essential. Medication is indicated in case of extreme stiffness, spasms, or clonus, especially, when it interferes with normal functioning or sleep. Anti-convulsants are advocated by physicians.
• A visit to the ophthalmologist is recommended to diagnose the condition / disorder and start the appropriate therapy and medication.
