Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that causes the death of nerve cells in a specific region of the spinal cord and brainstem. People with ALS lose control of their muscles over time, affecting their ability to perform basic actions such as walking, speaking, or eating. There is no cure for ALS, but treatments can help slow the progression of the illness, provide comfort, and improve the quality of life for those with the condition.
