Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an abnormal response of the body’s immune system against the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optical nerves). It affects the flow of information in the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body.
Anyone may develop MS.
2-3 times more women than men develop MS.
MS is not contagious or directly inherited.
More than 2.3 million people are affected by MS worldwide.
MS symptoms occur when the immune-system produces inflammation within the CNS. The inflammatory attack damages myelin, (the protective insulation surrounding nerve fibers), oligodendrocytes (cells that make CNS myelin) and sometimes the underlying nerve fiber.
Common MS symptoms include: fatigue; vision problems/ ringing/numbness; vertigo/dizziness; muscle weakness; balance/coordination problems; walking difficulties; speech and swallowing problems; bladder/bowel problems; cognitive difficulties; emotional changes; sexual dysfunction; and mood swings/depression.
The damage caused by inflammation can produce symptoms that resolve over weeks to months or symptoms that are permanent.
MS does not always cause paralysis. The majority of people with MS do not become severely disabled. Two-thirds of people who have MS remain able to walk, though many will need an aid, such as a cane or crutches.
Environmental factors, such as low Vitamin D and cigarette smoking have been shown to increase the risk of MS.
MS occurs in most ethnic groups but is most common in Caucasians of northern European ancestry.
Managing MS is an ongoing process, beginning with the very first symptoms and continuing throughout the disease course. It’s never too soon or too late to think about how to access high quality, comprehensive, interdisciplinary care. **

At Encore Rehabilitation, our team of Physical, Occupational,
and Speech Therapists can help patients with MS
to ease many of your symptoms and move, think, and feel better.

If you are one of the estimated 2.5 million people
diagnosed with MS, ask your doctor about
rehabilitation with Encore or call us today.

“I feel like a new person!”

Brooke Thomas Photo East Central HurleyRevised

Brooke Thomas was pained with headaches for years. Recently she came to East Central Physical Therapy where she worked with Encore Rehabilitation Physical Therapists. Her treatment plan included Dry Needling.

Brooke shares, “My results have been incredible. I suffered from constant headaches for five years. I have tried almost any remedy you could think of. When I started physical therapy, Dry Needling was suggested and I was immediately interested. After having it done, I was hooked. Nothing that I have tried has ever relieved my headache so quickly and kept it away for this long. I love it. I tell everyone about it! Thank you so much for all of your help! I feel like a new person!”

Thank you, Brooke, for sharing your story! We wish you the very best!

Martha – “Encore was A-MAZ-ING!”

A-MAZ-ING! copy

“A-MAZ-ING!” That’s how Martha describes her experience at Encore Rehabilitation-Center Point!

“Encore Rehab Physical Therapist Mallory Riggs is passionate and knowledgeable. She really cares for her patients, not only how they are doing with their rehab but also how they are feeling. She just makes you feel special. Mallory works well with all ages of patients and really develops a rapport with everyone-teenagers, middle-aged, and the elderly. I’ve told my doctor how amazing Mallory is! All of the staff are wonderful, Mallory, Katie, Sanquenetta, and Spencer. “

“I’ve had physical therapy in other places but this experience with Mallory and the staff at Encore has been the best rehab experience ever!”

Martha is currently participating in the Wellness Program at Encore Rehabilitation-Center Point after being discharged from physical therapy. “Now that I’m in the Wellness Program, Mallory continues to look out for my best interest and monitors me to make sure I’m doing my exercises correctly. She makes it fun which makes me want to do the program. Mallory has also helped me to set-up a written exercise schedule on the calendar so that I will stay better committed to my wellness plan.”
