- NeurologyDr. Bowling is Director of the NeuroHealth Institute. He is also Clinical Professor of Neurology at the University of Colorado. Dr. Bowling has more than 100 lay and professional publications, including five books on MS. He has provided consultation or authored publications for many MS and neurological organizations, including the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the National MS Society (NMSS), and the MS International Federation (MSIF).
- Multiple SclerosisDr. Bowling provides an individualized education service for lifestyle and alternative medicine. With this service, Dr. Bowling meets individually with people and provides information that is specific to the needs of that individual. This service, which may be provided remotely (by phone) or in person, is available to people with a wide range of neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Hungtington’s disease, and peripheral neuropathy.

- MRIMultiple Sclerosis is indeed an unpredictable disease, but we can get some indication early on about the “activity” of the disease. Then, over time, we can monitor disease activity with various measures—the three main measures are how you feel (especially noticing whether you are having attacks), what I see on the neurological exam, and what we see on MRI’s. Using these measures, we get a sense for how the disease is progressing. Closely tracking these measures allows us to get a sense of disease severity over time and, importantly, allows us to “ramp up” or change treatment if the disease appears to be getting more active.

- Physical TherapyCase in point, there is growing evidence that lifestyle approaches, such as exercise and diet, may have an impact on brain health and on Multiple Sclerosis—Dr. Bowling incorporates lifestyle monitoring and education into his practice as well. Finally, through his collaboration with the Colorado Neurological Institute (CNI), Dr. Bowling is able to offer a wide range of other Multiple Sclerosis specific services, including rehabilitation medicine (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy), psychological services, and neuroradiology.
- Occupational TherapyThere are other services that I think are critical to complement patient care. The majority of people with Multiple Sclerosis are interested in lifestyle approaches and alternative medicine—as a result, I have spent years training myself and writing books and articles on these topics. I am an international authority on lifestyle and alternative medicine and thus can incorporate these into my practice. There is growing evidence that lifestyle approaches, such as exercise and diet, may have an impact on brain health and on Multiple Sclerosis—I incorporate lifestyle monitoring and education into my practice as well. Finally, through my collaboration with the Colorado Neurological Institute (CNI), I am able to offer a whole range of other Multiple Sclerosis specific services, including clinical trials, rehabilitation medicine (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy), psychological services, and neuroradiology.
