Neurology Consultation
Our consultative service provides expert neurological care and support to patients. It may help patients manage a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, back pain, headache, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders. We work closely with patients to improve their quality of life and achieve better health outcomes.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain’s ability to function properly. It is the most common cause of dementia and is characterized by a gradual decline in cognitive function, memory loss, and behavioural changes. As the disease progresses, these symptoms may worsen, and other symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions, may develop.
Back Pain
Neurological back pain is a type of chronic back pain caused by a problem in the nervous system. This type of pain can be challenging to diagnose and treat because it may not be visible on imaging tests, and the symptoms can be complex and difficult to describe. Some of the most common causes of neurological back pain include nerve damage or irritation, spinal cord compression, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can affect people of all ages, but it is most commonly diagnosed in childhood or later in life. Seizures can vary in severity and frequency, from brief lapses of awareness or jerking movements of the arms and legs to full convulsions. Some people with epilepsy may have only one type of seizure, while others may experience multiple types.
Epilepsy Pediatric
Pediatric epilepsy refers to a group of neurological disorders that cause recurrent seizures in children. Seizures occur when there is abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to a temporary disruption of normal brain function. Epilepsy can affect children of all ages and can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic, structural, or metabolic abnormalities.
Headaches
Neurological headaches are headaches that are caused by disorders or abnormalities in the nervous system. These headaches can be severe and chronic and can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Some of the most common causes of neurological headaches include migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, and sinus headaches.
Paralysis
Paralysis is a loss of muscle function in one or more parts of the body. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, disease, or damage to the nervous system. Paralysis can be temporary or permanent, and its severity can range from mild to severe
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is caused by the gradual degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, leading to a lack of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control movement.
Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders are common in neurology and can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. There are many different types of sleep disorders, and they can be caused by various factors, including neurological conditions. Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis can also cause sleep disorders, including insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and sleep apnea.
Stroke
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, resulting in brain damage. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is blocked, and hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures.
