“My joints feel like they are filled with lead”

“It is so hard to walk and move. I just want to golf again.”

“I just want to drink my coffee but I keep dropping my mug.”Most people with MS just want to live their lives and enjoy the time they have left with their families. The crippling pain that MS causes makes it hard to spend time walking with adult children and playing with grandkids. Multiple sclerosis is a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord, where the protective sheath of the myelin around the nerve fibers, degrades and deteriorates. For the thousands of Canadians that live with MS, the symptoms include numbness, tremors, unsteady gait and falling, issues with vision, debilitating fatigue, and pain. 

Most people with multiple sclerosis, just steadily get worse as time goes by. Acupuncture cannot cure multiple sclerosis, however, it can slow the progression of the disease, and it can help with aches and pains along the way. Acupuncture is also helpful for tremors and lack of coordination and fatigue. It can help manage symptoms and help those that are suffering live a better quality of life. 

With this better quality of life, people are able to enjoy their time and stay out of the hospital for as long as possible. If you are suffering from multiple sclerosis please contact the clinic at 587-879-7122 to schedule a consultation.
