Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that damages myelin in the central nervous system, leading to fatigue, weakness, and a wide range of neurological impairments.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been trialed as a supportive therapy, with some studies showing modest improvements in fatigue, mobility, and overall quality of life by enhancing oxygen delivery, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair. Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) may further benefit individuals by enhancing exercise tolerance, supporting oxygen utilisation, and boosting stamina, which can help counteract deconditioning.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy has demonstrated benefits in relieving spasticity, reducing pain, and improving energy levels, likely through modulation of neuronal signalling and circulation. Meanwhile, Cryotherapy is sometimes used to provide symptomatic relief from pain and inflammation, especially during flare-ups, offering short-term comfort and improved mobility.

Theralight, using red and near-infrared light, and Infrared Saunas may both help with pain reduction, fatigue management, and mood support by enhancing mitochondrial function, improving blood flow, and promoting relaxation. Ultra-Violet B (UVB) Phototherapy, while not a standard treatment for MS itself, can be useful in managing associated vitamin D deficiency, which is common in MS and may influence disease progression and symptom burden.
