Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscles. Our neurology clinic is quite advanced and can treat a wide range of neuro disorders
The Neurology Clinic at United Medical Center treats a wide range of neurological diseases such as headaches, epilepsy, strokes, CNS infections, demyelinating diseases, peripheral nerve diseases, sciatica, neuromuscular disorders as well as evaluations of dizziness, back pain, neck pain and other common neurological disorders. Our comprehensive, state of art range of medical technology enables our neurologists to treat patients with unmatched accuracy and efficiency. If you are looking for highly qualified neurologists then make sure that you get in touch with the team at United Medical Center right away.
If you come to us with a headache. We first exclude any secondary reasons for headaches before going for treatment. We use a multi-disciplinary approach where we would use the specialty of several doctors to come up with the right diagnosis. We start with eliminating any secondary reasons, and excluding reasons for headaches such as vision or psychological issues.
There are updated treatments for headaches. The treatment is individualized based on the patients’ needs.
We do a clinical neurological assessment and patient history and then provide a memory test to find if there is a memory problem or not. Most common causes:
Many people come in with neck and back pain with possible numbness and tingling in different areas also including burning pain and they come in for an assessment to see if nerves are involved in the process. We provide a clinical assessment and nerve connection studies to discover if this is a nerve problem, muscle problem, or root problem. We do the nerve connection studies in the clinic which basically means a test where we stimulate the nerve and check how fast it runs. If a nerve problem is diagnosed, depending on what type of nerve problem it is we provide the appropriate treatment such as medications. If it is a compressive cause, we avoid maneuvers causing compression of the nerve. At times we must do a referral to consider surgical release of the suspected nerve.
The signs & symptoms of neurological disorders can vary significantly, depending upon the type of disorder as well as the specific area of the body that is affected. The most common symptoms are:
The risk factors of such disorders can be quite diverse. Both the spinal cord and brain are insulated by numerous membranes that can be vulnerable to force and pressure. The peripheral nerves located deep under the skin can also be vulnerable to damage. Neurological disorders can affect an entire neurological pathway or a single neuron. Even a small disturbance to a neuron’s structural pathway can result in dysfunction. As a result, neurological disorders can result from a number of causes , including:
We list below some of the most common neurological disorders:
A sudden stroke attack occurs when the blood flow to the brain stops which further damages the brain cells. There are two kinds of stroke attacks, Hemorrhagic and Ischemic. They are caused due to blood clots or blocking of the blood vessel.
Such tumors are the result of the rapid growth of abnormal cells in the brain tissues. Brain tumors can either be malignant i.e. cancerous or benign.
Such tumors are the result of the rapid growth of abnormal cells in the brain tissues. Brain tumors can either be malignant i.e. cancerous or benign.
This disease affects the brain and spinal cord nerve cells which are integral for the proper functioning of the nervous system. The damage done to the myelin sheath or protective layer surrounding the nerve cells affects the brain.
Injuries are one of the prevailing reasons for spinal cord disorders. Some other reasons include blocked blood supply, compressions of the spinal cord by a tumor or fractured bone and infections.
