Multiple Sclerosis Services

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, debilitating disease of the central nervous system, which affects young adults, sometimes with astonishing speed. The symptoms of MS can range from mild—producing little or no disability—to severe—leading to substantial disability within a few years. The unpredictable physical and emotional effect can be life long.
 
The CentraState MS Center was developed in 2002 with the support of the Mid-Jersey Chapter of the National MS Society to help improve the quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis and their families in our community. The center is lead by medical director Dr. Amos Katz.
 
The goal of the MS Center is to provide comprehensive, high-quality care to patients with multiple sclerosis through accurate diagnosis, education, establishment of an appropriate plan of care, and executing an individualized treatment plan. Patients are treated as individuals with special considerations given to include various support systems.

Teaming Up for Treatment
The MS Center provides coordinated care for evaluation and treatment with a team of specialists. The team is lead by neurologists who specialize in MS, and is supported by a nurse coordinator, occupational and physical therapists, and speech and language pathologists. The center relies on other disciplines to round out the team. Other support systems include nutritionists, social work, equipment vendors, and home care companies to assist in coordinating care, as well as psychotherapists for counseling.
 
The center provides urological evaluation and treatment for bladder dysfunction, management of the intrathecal baclofen pump for severe spasticity; administration of the newest available FDA-approved treatment for MS, as well as monthly support groups and education seminars.
