Neurology

What is Neurology?

Neurology is the medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. This complex system includes the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles.

 

It serves as the body’s command center, controlling everything from movement and sensation to memory and speech. Neurologists play a critical role in preserving brain function and quality of life.

Conditions Treated by Neurologists

A neurologist is trained to handle a wide spectrum of complex neurological conditions, including:

  • Stroke: Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes requiring urgent intervention.
  • Epilepsy & Seizures: Management of seizure disorders and electrical disturbances in the brain.
  • Headaches: Chronic migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches.
  • Movement Disorders: Parkinson’s disease, tremors, and dystonia.
  • Dementia & Memory: Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairments.
  • Nerve Disorders: Neuropathy (nerve damage), Bell’s Palsy, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
  • Autoimmune Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Myasthenia Gravis.

Preventive Healthcare and Brain Wellness

Protecting the brain is easier than repairing it. Neurology emphasizes preventive care through Stroke Risk Assessments, management of risk factors (BP, sugar, cholesterol), and lifestyle counseling. We focus on early detection of warning signs to prevent catastrophic events like strokes or severe cognitive decline.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment

Neurology relies heavily on precision diagnostics. Our specialists use state-of-the-art tools, including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT Scans, EEG (Electroencephalogram) for brain activity, and EMG/NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity) tests. Treatments range from medication management to advanced therapies like Thrombolysis for stroke and Botulinum Toxin injections for migraines or spasticity.

Emergency and Acute Care Services

Time is critical in neurology. For emergencies like acute stroke (paralysis, slurred speech), continuous seizures (status epilepticus), or sudden severe headaches, immediate medical attention is vital. Our neurology team provides rapid “Code Stroke” care to restore blood flow to the brain and minimize permanent damage.

Chronic Disease Management

Long-term conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis require compassionate, lifelong management. Our team ensures comprehensive care with a focus on slowing disease progression, rehabilitation (physiotherapy/speech therapy), and medication adjustment to maximize the patient’s independence and quality of life.
