A Personalized Approach to Multiple Sclerosis Care
Because multiple sclerosis (MS) can mimic other diseases, it's important to seek care from a team that has the experience and knowledge to accurately diagnose and treat it. Through clinical experience, skill and advanced testing, we establish both a diagnosis and treatment course for your condition, such as relapsing-remitting MS or primary progressive MS. If you’ve already been diagnosed with MS and need help managing your symptoms, we will examine the progression of your disease before recommending a course of action.

The UChicago Medicine multiple sclerosis team includes expert neurologists and a dedicated nurse practitioner who collaborate with other specialists to give you the most comprehensive care. Your care team includes physical therapists, nutritionists and urologists with experience in multiple sclerosis care. You can schedule an appointment instantly with one of our experts through our online scheduling portal.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
We understand the different symptoms of MS and which treatment option is best for each symptom. Through a collaborative approach, our neurologists will work with other specialists to create a personalized care plan that addresses all of your needs.
We offer several treatments to slow the progression of MS and manage symptoms, including:
