An experienced neurologist, offers specialized care for a variety of neurological conditions, ensuring personalized treatment with a compassionate approach to enhance your health and well-being.
Brain Stroke
A brain stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain cell damage and various neurological symptoms. As a medical emergency, strokes require immediate attention to minimize damage and improve recovery outcomes.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy, commonly known as "fits," is a neurological disorder marked by recurrent, unprovoked seizures—sudden disruptions in normal brain activity that lead to changes in behavior, movement, consciousness, or sensation. It's crucial to use accurate and respectful terminology when discussing medical conditions like epilepsy to ensure proper understanding and reduce stigma.
Headache and Migraine
Migraine headaches are recurrent, severe headaches marked by throbbing or pulsating pain, usually on one side of the head. These headaches result from a complex interaction of neurological and vascular factors and can lead to additional symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances, significantly impacting daily life and overall well-being.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and coordination. It occurs due to the gradual loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, which are essential for smooth and controlled movements. This loss leads to the characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
Vertigo
Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often caused by problems in the inner ear or the vestibular system of the brain. It can result from conditions like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular neuritis. Symptoms may include a feeling of unsteadiness, nausea, and difficulty maintaining balance. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy, is a condition involving damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, including limbs, organs, and skin. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, such as pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness, depending on which nerves are affected and the underlying causes.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers, causing inflammation and damage. This disruption of myelin interferes with nerve impulse transmission, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily impacts memory, thinking, and behavior. As the most common cause of dementia, it leads to a decline in cognitive function and the ability to perform daily tasks. Over time, Alzheimer's gradually affects a person's ability to remember, learn, communicate, and manage everyday activities.
Dementia
Dementia refers to a range of cognitive disorders that lead to a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning. It’s a syndrome caused by various conditions, not a single disease. This guide covers the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for dementia to help you understand and manage this condition effectively.
Neurogenetic Disorders
Neurogenetic disorders are a group of conditions caused by genetic mutations that affect the nervous system. These disorders can lead to a wide range of neurological symptoms, including developmental delays, motor problems, cognitive impairments, and other neurological issues. Since these conditions are inherited, they often have a familial pattern and can vary in severity and age of onset.
Paediatric Neurology
Pediatric neurology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. These conditions can include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, genetic disorders, and neurogenetic conditions, among others. Pediatric neurologists work closely with families to provide tailored treatments that address the unique needs of children as they grow and develop.
Meningitis
Meningitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi, with bacterial meningitis being the most severe. Symptoms may include headache, fever, stiff neck, and sensitivity to light, and prompt medical treatment is crucial to prevent complications or long-term damage.
