Personalized Specialist Care
Neurology Conditions Treated
Each condition is managed with modern & personalized neurological treatment. 80% of the patients are treated with medications alone.
Epilepsy / Seizures
Complete seizure control is possible with accurate diagnosis & precise medications. Selected cases need epilepsy surgery including Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS).
Parkinson’s Disease / Tremor
Excellent quality of life is possible with precise medications. Selected cases need Parkinsons surgery including Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) & MRI-guided ultrasound (MRg-FUS) surgery.
Headache / Migraine
Ruling out a serious cause such as a brain tumour is critical. Migraine can be cured by lifestyle changes & targeted migraine therapies.
Memory Loss / Dementia
Many causes of memory problems are treatable. NPH, OSA and B12 deficiency are some of them.
Paralysis / Stroke
Finding and treating the actual cause of stroke is critical. This prevents further strokes.
Â
Dizziness / Vertigo
Vertigo is just another name for “dizziness”. Finding & treating the cause (for example BPPV) is important.
Pain - Face, Neck, Back, Legs
Face, Neck, Back, Legs
Each pain is treated differently. For example, Trigeminal Neuralgia & Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) have very different treatments.
Our Procedures
Advanced Neurology Procedures
Even resistant Epilepsy and advanced Parkinson’s can get better with precise medications. Only a small number of patients need advanced treatments like Epilepsy surgery or Parkinson’s surgery.
EEG & Video EEG Monitoring
Video EEG monitoring enables accurate epilepsy diagnosis & effective treatment. Video EEG helps to pinpoint the bad brain area causing seizures. This bad area can be safely removed (Resective Epilepsy surgery)
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
DBS is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. It stimulates the brain directly to reduce shaking, stiffness, and slowness. It improves quality of life & reduces high-dose medications.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
VNS is a device-based therapy for Epilepsy. VNS stimulates the Vagus nerve in the neck to regulate brain electricity. It reduces the frequency & intensity of seizures.
MRI Guided Ultrasound (MRg-FUS)
MRg-FUS is a quick & “bloodless” procedure for Parkinson’s disease. It markedly reduces shaking. It is a good choice for patients who are afraid of DBS surgery.
