Welcome to California Sports and Rehab with Dr. Hakimian in Los Angeles, your trusted source for comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patient education and care. We’re dedicated to helping you understand MS, manage symptoms, and improve your quality of life through personalized treatment plans.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to symptoms like numbness, muscle weakness, vision changes, and fatigue.

At California Sports and Rehab, Dr. Hakimian specializes in diagnosing and managing MS in patients throughout Los Angeles and nearby communities.

Common Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

MS symptoms vary but commonly include:

  • Numbness or tingling in limbs
  • Muscle weakness or spasms
  • Difficulty walking or balance problems
  • Vision disturbances such as double vision or blurred vision
  • Fatigue and cognitive challenges

If you notice these symptoms, contact California Sports and Rehab in Los Angeles to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hakimian.
