We can Help you with
Stroke/Paralysis
Stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die. Paralysis, the loss of muscle function or sensation, can result. Types include: Quadriplegia, Hemiplegia, Monoplegia
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It causes damage to the myelin sheath, leading to problems with communication between the brain and the body. Symptoms can vary widely and include fatigue, weakness, numbness, and vision problems.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
GBS is a rare disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the nerves. This can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, and sensory loss. In most cases, GBS is temporary, and people recover fully.
Foot Drop and Wrist Drop
Foot drop and wrist drop are conditions in which the foot or wrist cannot be lifted properly. These conditions can be caused by nerve damage or muscle weakness.
Balance and Mobility Issues
These problems affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance. They can be caused by various neurological conditions, injuries, or aging. Treatment often involves physical therapy and assistive devices.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It's caused by the death of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and difficulty with balance and coordination
Ataxia
Ataxia is a neurological disorder that affects balance and coordination. It can be caused by various conditions, including stroke, brain injury, and certain genetic disorders. Symptoms include clumsiness, difficulty walking, and problems with fine motor skills.
Bell's Palsy
Bell's palsy is a condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the face. It's caused by damage to the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face.
Brain and Spinal Cord Injury
Injuries to the brain or spinal cord can lead to a range of impairments, including paralysis, sensory loss, cognitive difficulties, and emotional changes. Treatment focuses on rehabilitation and managing symptoms.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and posture. It's caused by damage to the developing brain, often before or during birth. Symptoms can vary widely and may include muscle weakness, spasticity, and difficulty with coordination.
Brachial Plexus Injury
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that supplies sensation and movement to the arm and hand. Injury to this network can cause weakness, numbness, and pain in the arm and hand
Key components of Neuro - Adults
Neurology is a complex field focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the nervous system. Key components of adult neurology include:
Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders:
-
Stroke: Disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to potential paralysis, cognitive impairments, and sensory loss.
-
Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries: Trauma-related damage affecting motor function, sensation, and cognitive abilities.
-
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Progressive conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells.
-
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Autoimmune disorder attacking the protective sheath of nerve fibers, causing various neurological symptoms.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Disorders:
-
Peripheral Neuropathies: Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, leading to numbness, weakness, and pain.
-
Muscle Diseases: Conditions affecting muscle strength and function, such as muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis.
-
Headaches and Migraines: Chronic or episodic pain conditions.
-
Seizure Disorders: Abnormal brain activity causing seizures, including epilepsy.
Other Neurological Conditions:
-
Sleep Disorders: Conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy.
-
Movement Disorders: Conditions like tremors, dystonia, and ataxia.
-
Pain Syndromes: Chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome.
-
Cognitive Disorders: Conditions affecting memory, attention, and thinking, such as dementia.
Neurological Treatments:
-
Medication: To manage symptoms and underlying causes.
-
Physical Therapy: To improve strength, balance, and coordination.
-
Occupational Therapy: To help with daily living activities.
-
Speech Therapy: To address speech and swallowing difficulties.
-
Surgery: In some cases, to repair damage or remove tumors.
Diagnostic Tools:
-
Neuroimaging: Techniques like MRI and CT scans to visualize brain and spinal cord structures.
-
Electrodiagnostic Tests: To assess nerve and muscle function.
-
Lumbar Puncture: To analyze cerebrospinal fluid.
-
Blood Tests: To identify underlying medical conditions.
Prevention:
-
Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep.
-
Avoiding Risk Factors: Limiting alcohol and tobacco use, managing blood pressure and cholesterol.
-
Regular Check-ups: Early detection and intervention.
Specialized Care:
-
Neurologists: Physicians specializing in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders.
-
Neurosurgeons: Surgeons specializing in operating on the brain, spine, and nervous system.
-
Neuropsychologists: Psychologists specializing in assessing and treating cognitive and behavioral disorders
