Conditions we treat

Epilepsy is a condition marked by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal brain activity. Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation and tests like EEG. Treatment options include medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery or devices to control seizures.

Headaches, including migraines, cause pain ranging from mild to severe, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances. Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation and symptom patterns. Treatment includes medications for pain relief, preventive therapies, and lifestyle modifications to reduce frequency and severity.

Parkinson disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with symptoms of tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement and postural instability. It also has many non-motor manifestation. It is a diagnosis made by neurologist after clinical assessment and investigations. There are many different medications and device assisted therapies to treat Parkinson disease.

Tremor of the hand, body or leg can cause social embarrassment and physical disability. A neurologist can perform a clinical examination and investigation and make a diagnosis and manage tremor with medication, injection therapies or deep brain stimulation.

Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions, leading to twisting or repetitive movements. Diagnosis is made through clinical assessment and tests. Treatment options include medications, PBS-approved injections, and in some cases, surgery or deep brain stimulation.

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain, typically in the hands and feet. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment, nerve tests, and imaging. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medications, physical therapy, and addressing underlying causes such as diabetes or infections.

A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, leading to brain damage. Symptoms can include sudden weakness, speech difficulties, and loss of coordination. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and imaging like CT or MRI. Treatment focuses on minimizing brain damage, with options including medications, rehabilitation, and long-term care to manage recovery.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, vision problems, and difficulty with coordination. Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation, MRI, and lumbar puncture. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and may include disease-modifying therapies, medications, and physical therapy.

Huntington disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive movement problems, cognitive decline and psychiatric symptoms. Diagnosis is confirmed through genetic testing and clinical evaluation. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medications, therapy, and support for both patients and families.

Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, causing symptoms like headache, fever, and neck stiffness. Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation and lumbar puncture. Treatment typically involves antibiotics or antiviral medications, depending on the cause, and prompt medical care is crucial to prevent complications.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition causing excessive sweating, often in the hands, feet, or underarms, which can affect daily life and confidence. It may occur without a clear cause or due to other health issues, and treatments include antiperspirants, medications, PBS-approved injectable therapy, or surgery.
