Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy Treatment in Gurgaon

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system damages the protective covering (myelin) around nerve fibers, interrupting communication between the brain and the body. This can lead to muscle weakness, balance problems, fatigue, walking difficulties, numbness, and reduced coordination.

At Indu Physiotherapy Clinic, Gurgaon, we provide personalized Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy Treatment to improve mobility, strength, balance, posture, flexibility, and independence in daily life. Our rehabilitation programs are designed according to each patient’s symptoms and stage of recovery.
