When your body activates your immune system, it sends out inflammatory cells. These cells attack bacteria or heal damaged tissue. If your body sends out inflammatory cells when you are not sick or injured, you may have chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammatory diseases are defined by the location of the inflammation, the persistence of inflammation, and the presence of tissue destruction or scarring. Inflammation is a symptom of many chronic diseases, such as arthritis or Alzheimer’s disease.

Here are a few list of problems that our doctor specializes in:

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS , the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body.

Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a neurological disorder characterized by brief but widespread attacks of inflammation (swelling) in the brain and spinal cord that damages myelin. Myelin is the whitish protective coating over nerves that helps with electrical nerve signaling.

Acute Transverse Myelitis

Acute transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare, acquired neuro-immune spinal cord disorder that can present with the rapid onset of weakness, sensory alterations, and bowel or bladder dysfunction.
