Neurology is a branch of medicine which deals with the disorders of the nervous system. While neurology is a nonsurgical specialty, its corresponding surgical specialty is neurosurgery. Neurology is concerned with the analysis and investigation of all conditions that are related to the central and peripheral nervous systems.

What Do Our Neurologists Treat?

Our Neurology experts are usually approached for 2nd opinions by patients who suffer from seizures, have lost their ability to move their limbs or have a severe speech impairment. Neurologists start with a basic neurological assessment, which involves the assessment of basic brain function, for gaining a basic understanding of the location of the problem within the nervous system. This is because a small change in the way that a patient feels in the limbs may be the first sign of a major regional problem in the brain such as cancer or blood flow obstruction. By recognizing such small symptoms and details, neurologists are successfully able to treat the disease in its incipient stages.

Parkinson's Disease -

Once the dopamine levels in the body go down by 20 to 40 percent, the symptoms of Parkinson’s start appearing. The initial symptoms are anosmia, constipation, cramped writing, slow movements and problem balancing the body.



Seizures -

Seizures are an indication of neurological disorders. They emerge due to unforeseen and sudden, abnormal electrical activity in parts of the brain. Seizures may or may not cause convulsions. There can have mild symptoms like losing consciousness, frothing and biting of the tongue. Seizures are categorized into two main parts, partial seizures and Generalized seizures.



Alzheimer's Disease -

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that destroys the memory of the patient partially or completely and also impacts significant mental functions. This disorder cannot be cured completely but treatment can help to improve the situation. The early symptoms of Alzheimer's are memory loss, difficulty in executing routine work, forgetting time and place, misplacing things quite often, etc.

Ataxia -

Ataxia can occur over time or abruptly. It can lead to poor coordination of the body , difficulty in chewing food, change in accent/speech and nystagmus. Conditions that can be responsible for Ataxia are drug abuse, genetic disorders, certain medications, cerebral palsy, brain degeneration, and multiple sclerosis.



Dementia -

Dementia is not a disease but a condition.Alzheimer and Vascular dementia are forms of dementia. The symptoms of dementia are different in each patient but usually the patient faces difficulty in communicating, concentrating, reasoning, visualizing and remembering.



Migraine -

A research paper by NHS(UK) suggests that 1 in every 5 women, and 1 in every 15 men suffers from migraine. Every now and then, there are reports and researches done on the relationship between migraine, depression and anxiety. A person suffering from migraine is 3 times more likely to develop depression.Neurologists treat migraines based on thepatterns of the disease, with either long term preventive medication, or short term anti-migraine medicines. Depression and other illnesses associated with this illness is treated by appropriate specialists.

The symptoms observed in a stroke are sudden numbness or dizziness, trouble speaking, difficulty seeing from one or both eyes, and severe headache. To achieve the best results, the neurologist may advise taking different medications, whereas, some people may have to undergo surgery.



Tremors -

Usually, the causes of tremor are disorders like multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases that harm parts of the brainstem or the cerebrum, which is a part of the brain that controls significant human activities like the movements in the body.Tremor can happen at any age but mostly, middle-aged people suffer from it. It can be episodic, transitory, or may occur periodically, in response to a particular event or timing. It affects both men and women equally.
