Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS), leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms. At Patients Medical in New York City, we understand that MS is more than just a disease of the nerves—it impacts your whole body. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover the root causes of your MS symptoms, and address them with natural, tailored treatments to manage or potentially slow the progression of the condition.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering (myelin) of nerve fibers in the CNS. This damage disrupts the normal flow of electrical impulses between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body, leading to various neurological symptoms.
There are several types of MS:
Functional medicine focuses on uncovering the root causes behind chronic conditions like MS. While the exact cause of MS is still unclear, several factors are believed to contribute to its development:
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostics to understand the underlying factors contributing to your MS. These tests include
Sarah, a 40-year-old woman, had been diagnosed with RRMS and experienced frequent flare-ups. Her symptoms included extreme fatigue, numbness in her legs, and cognitive issues.

After six months of treatment, Sarah experienced a significant reduction in her symptoms, improved energy levels, and better mental clarity.
Yes, while MS is a chronic condition, many patients benefit from a combination of natural therapies, including anti-inflammatory diets, stress reduction, vitamin supplementation, and immune modulation. We focus on managing symptoms and slowing progression using holistic methods
Yes, diet plays a key role in managing MS. An anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich diet can help reduce symptoms and inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and gut-healthy foods are particularly important for MS patients.
Chronic stress can trigger flare-ups, increase inflammation, and worsen symptoms in MS patients. Stress management techniques such as meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
Some patients require medication to manage flare-ups or slow disease progression. However, integrative treatments such as dietary changes, IV therapy, and supplements can often complement or reduce reliance on medications.
Results vary from person to person. Many patients begin to notice improvements in symptoms, energy levels, and overall health within a few weeks to months of starting treatment.
Our treatments are personalized to minimize any side effects. We monitor your progress closely and adjust treatments as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Yes, vitamin D deficiency is common in MS patients and may contribute to symptom flare-ups. Correcting vitamin D levels can help manage MS more effectively.
Yes, we offer treatments that can help reduce the frequency and severity of MS flare-ups, including IV therapy, immune support supplements, and stress management practices.
Currently, there is no cure for MS, but integrative treatments can help manage symptoms, slow progression, and improve quality of life. Many patients experience fewer flare-ups and better symptom control.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we offer superbills that can be submitted to insurance for potential reimbursement. Some lab tests and treatments may be partially covered.
