Neurology

Neurology services encompass the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of neurological disorders, including but not limited to:

• Stroke: Diagnosis, acute management, and rehabilitation following a stroke.
• Epilepsy: Diagnosis, medication management, and surgical intervention for individuals with seizure disorders.
• Multiple Sclerosis: Diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of this chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system.
• Parkinson’s Disease: Diagnosis, medication management, and therapies to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive movement disorder.
• Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia: Evaluation, cognitive testing, and management of memory loss and cognitive decline.
• Headaches & Migraines: Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of various types of headaches and migraines.

Diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the muscles and nerves, such as muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and peripheral neuropathy.

Neurology services involve the use of various diagnostic procedures to assess and diagnose neurological conditions. These may include:

• Electroencephalogram (EEG): Measures brain activity and is used to diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other brain abnormalities.
• Electromyography (EMG): Measures muscle and nerve function to diagnose conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and muscular dystrophy.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of the brain and spinal cord to aid in the diagnosis of various neurological disorders.
• Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: Helps visualize the brain and identify abnormalities, such as bleeding, tumors, or trauma-related injuries.

Neurology services involve the development of personalized treatment plans to manage neurological conditions. This may include:

• Medication Management: Prescribing and adjusting medications to help control symptoms, slow disease progression, or manage pain associated with neurological disorders.
• Rehabilitation & Therapy: Providing physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy to individuals with neurological conditions to improve function, mobility, and quality of life.
• Surgical Interventions: In some cases, neurology services may involve surgical procedures performed by neurosurgeons to treat conditions like brain tumors, epilepsy, or movement disorders.
• Neurocritical Care: Neurology services may also include specialized care for critically ill patients with neurological conditions, such as those in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) who require close monitoring and specialized interventions.
