Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis Services — Dr. Chirag Gupta

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care for Every Stage of MS

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological condition that affects each person differently. At the clinic of Dr. Chirag Gupta, we combine the latest evidence-based treatments with personalized support to help patients preserve function, minimize relapses, and maintain quality of life. Our approach is holistic: we treat the disease, support the person, and partner with families to navigate the ups and downs of living with MS.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This causes disruptions in nerve signaling, producing symptoms that may include weakness, numbness, visual changes, balance problems, fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and bladder or bowel changes. MS varies in pattern and severity — from relatively infrequent relapses to more progressive, steadily worsening symptoms.

Early Detection & Accurate Diagnosis

Early diagnosis changes outcomes. Dr. Chirag Gupta emphasizes a thorough, timely evaluation to confirm MS and rule out other causes. Diagnostic services include:

Comprehensive neurological history and focused physical examination
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with dedicated protocols to detect active inflammation and chronic lesions
Neurophysiologic testing when indicated (e.g., visual evoked potentials)
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis when necessary for additional clarity
Differentiation between relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive, and primary progressive MS to shape treatment strategy

We translate technical results into clear, actionable plans — giving you both answers and realistic next steps.

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two MS journeys are identical. Treatment plans at our clinic are individualized based on disease activity, MRI findings, lifestyle, comorbidities, and patient preferences. Core elements include:

Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs): Access to a spectrum of DMTs (oral, injectable, and infusion options) with careful selection to balance efficacy and safety.
Relapse Management: Rapid assessment and short-course therapies (such as corticosteroids) when relapses occur, plus strategies to reduce future risk.
Symptom Control: Targeted treatment for spasticity, neuropathic pain, bladder dysfunction, fatigue, sleep disorders, and mood changes.
Rehabilitation: Coordinated physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation to maximize independence.
Preventive Care: Vaccination advice, bone health, cardiovascular risk management, and screening for treatment-related side effects.

We involve patients in shared decision-making so choices match medical need and personal goals.

Multidisciplinary Team & Coordinated Care

MS care works best when it’s integrated. Dr. Gupta leads a multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, urologists, and social workers. We coordinate referrals and maintain regular communication with primary care physicians and other specialists so that care is seamless and practical.

Advanced Therapies & Monitoring

For patients with active or aggressive disease, we offer access to advanced therapies with close safety monitoring. Treatment selection includes individualized risk assessment and pre-treatment counseling. Ongoing monitoring includes periodic MRI, laboratory surveillance, and clinical assessments to ensure therapy is working and to identify side effects early.

Lifestyle, Self-Management & Rehabilitation

Medication is one part of the picture. We emphasize practical strategies patients can use every day:

Structured exercise and balance training programs
Energy-conservation techniques and fatigue management
Nutritional guidance and weight management
Cognitive strategies and memory aids
Stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and mental health support

Our rehabilitation team helps you translate clinical goals into real-world improvements — returning to work, hobbies, and family life where possible.

Support for Families & Caregivers

MS affects families too. We offer education sessions, counseling resources, and practical coaching for caregivers — from home safety assessments to navigating disability benefits and workplace accommodations.

Telemedicine & Flexible Follow-up

Understanding that travel and mobility can be barriers, Dr. Gupta’s clinic offers telemedicine for follow-ups, medication reviews, and symptom checks. This keeps your care consistent while fitting into daily life.
