Specialists from many fields provide care to multiple sclerosis patients to address the many ways the disease can affect individuals.
Neurology
A neurologist or physiatrist evaluates patients to determine the diagnosis, to enroll eligible patients into research studies, to monitor the disease process and the effect of medications, and to make referrals to appropriate specialists.
Physiatry
In addition to the neurologist, a physiatrist may also evaluate the MS patient. A physiatrist is a physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and who works with patients to develop an overall plan for the patient's rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation
