Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Overview

There are two ways to treat multiple sclerosis. One is to treat multiple sclerosis symptoms. The other is to treat the underlying disease to reduce the number of flare-ups and slow the progression of physical disability. When you have flare ups (relapses), your healthcare provider will prescribe medications to help address the specific symptoms you are experiencing. However, these medications do not address the underlying disease process that leads to the symptoms in the first place
