At Jean Walter Infusions, we specialize in providing personalized intravenous (IV) therapy tailored to individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Our IV treatments, such as corticosteroid infusions, play a crucial role in managing MS symptoms and flare-ups by effectively reducing inflammation within the central nervous system during acute relapses.
Patients experiencing vision disturbances like optic neuritis—a condition marked by blurred vision, eye pain, or temporary vision loss—often achieve noticeable improvement following IV therapy at our clinic. By rapidly addressing inflammation, our IV infusions help restore visual clarity and comfort.
Our specialized IV treatments can also significantly improve motor function symptoms. Patients who face challenges with coordination, balance, or muscle strength frequently find relief through targeted IV steroid therapy. Additionally, sensory symptoms—including numbness, tingling sensations, and heightened sensitivity—are often alleviated, allowing patients to regain comfort and enhance their daily quality of life.
Jean Walter Infusions recognizes the impact of cognitive dysfunction during MS flare-ups. Symptoms like memory issues, difficulty concentrating, and slowed cognitive processing can improve substantially as inflammation decreases following IV treatment. Our therapies are designed to help patients regain mental clarity and improve cognitive functioning.
Furthermore, our IV treatments may effectively combat fatigue, one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of MS. While results vary among individuals, many of our patients report noticeable increases in energy levels and overall well-being after receiving IV therapy at our practice.

At Jean Walter Infusions, we understand the critical role intravenous (IV) therapy plays in managing multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation and damage to the central nervous system. Our experienced clinical team specializes in providing advanced, personalized IV infusion therapies designed specifically to support the immune system and neurological health of individuals living with MS.
In patients with MS, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin coating around nerve fibers, causing disruptions in nerve signaling and leading to neurological symptoms. Our specialized IV infusion therapies deliver medications directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid, targeted, and effective treatment aimed at modulating or suppressing abnormal immune responses and reducing inflammation.
We offer corticosteroid treatments, such as intravenous methylprednisolone, which are commonly used during acute MS flare-ups. These infusions quickly decrease inflammation, reduce swelling, and alleviate symptoms, helping our patients recover faster and more comfortably from episodes.
We also provide advanced disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), which target specific immune system pathways involved in MS. Natalizumab works by preventing immune cells from crossing the blood-brain barrier, thereby reducing inflammation and protecting nerve tissues. Ocrelizumab selectively targets and removes specific immune cells known as B cells, significantly reducing autoimmune activity and slowing disease progression.
By offering these state-of-the-art IV treatments, Jean Walter Infusions helps reduce the frequency and severity of MS relapses, slows the progression of the disease, and supports patients in maintaining neurological function and improving quality of life.
We specialize in providing personalized intravenous (IV) therapy treatments designed specifically to help patients manage pain, stiffness, and mobility issues associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) flare-ups. During an MS exacerbation, inflammation and heightened immune activity within the central nervous system can damage nerve coverings (myelin), disrupting normal nerve signaling and causing significant discomfort.
Our IV therapy treatments typically involve administering corticosteroids directly into the bloodstream. This targeted infusion approach allows medications to rapidly reduce central nervous system inflammation, easing nerve irritation and swelling. As inflammation subsides, patients often experience noticeable relief from the pain, stiffness, and impaired mobility that accompany MS flare-ups.
Our experienced medical team works closely with each patient, carefully monitoring their response to treatment and adjusting therapy as necessary to optimize results. By quickly addressing inflammation and calming the overly active immune response, IV corticosteroids administered at our practice can significantly reduce the intensity and duration of MS relapses, allowing patients to regain their comfort and mobility more quickly.
While IV corticosteroids are generally prescribed for short-term relief during flare-ups rather than ongoing MS management, many patients at Jean Walter Infusions notice symptom improvement within just days of beginning treatment. Our dedicated care team is committed to enhancing patient quality of life, offering compassionate, specialized care throughout each infusion session in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Patients visiting Jean Walter Infusions often notice improvements in acute neurological symptoms shortly after beginning treatment. Common symptoms relieved include visual disturbances, numbness, tingling sensations, muscle weakness, balance issues, and coordination difficulties. Our IV corticosteroid therapies effectively reduce swelling and inflammation, leading to significant improvements in overall nerve function and symptom relief within days.
While most patients experience rapid symptom improvement, others may observe a more gradual recovery following their infusion treatments. It is important to note that IV corticosteroid therapy provided at Jean Walter Infusions does not modify the underlying long-term course of MS. Instead, these treatments offer prompt symptom control and relief during acute exacerbations, allowing our patients to return to their daily activities with greater comfort and improved quality of life.
Our knowledgeable medical team closely monitors all patients throughout the IV therapy process, addressing any side effects that may occur, such as insomnia, mood fluctuations, elevated blood sugar levels, or increased appetite. These side effects typically resolve shortly after the completion of treatment.
