There are more than one million people in the world today that are affected by Multiple Sclerosis. Each day more people discover that they have this disease and need to know more about what their future looks like and how they can lead an active lifestyle. It is completely normal to be scared when you are first diagnosed.

Many people have thought this diagnosis was a death sentence but have come to find out that their lives were far from over.

The disease multiple sclerosis affects the body's central nervous system. When the disease takes hold, multiple sclerosis symptoms can be painful and debilitating. This experience can be terrifying for a patient who previously lived a full and healthy life.

Sudden physical limitations and mood swings can be extremely difficult for the patient and their family.

Can injuries to the head, neck, or spine cause the onset of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? This is a debate that has waged in the field of medicine for years. The suspicion has lingered and does not seem to be fading at all with time. In fact, more health care practitioners are documenting cases of MS diagnosed subsequent to spinal trauma - too many to be caused by chance.

Wheelchairs are most commonly used by people who have restrictions on their mobility. A wheelchair allows you to move around with greater freedom than you may have once had without it. They provide mobility to those who would otherwise be limited or completely unable to move their legs... but that doesn't mean that they are only for those who are unable to walk.
