Neurology

Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is composed of  the central nervous system (CNS) which includes the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which is composed of nerve fibers that connect the CNS to the rest of the body.

A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders and injuries of the nervous system.

ABOUT US

Types of Common Conditions we treat:

Neurodegenerative diseases cause the brain and nerves to deteriorate over time. They can change the personality and cause confusion. They can also destroy brain’s tissue and nerves.

Some brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, may develop as a person ages. They can slowly impair memory and thought processes. Other diseases, such as Tay-Sachs disease, are genetic and begin at an early age. Other common neurodegenerative diseases include:

  • Huntington’s disease: A hereditary condition in which brain’s nerve cells gradually break down. This affects physical movements, emotions, and cognitive abilities.
  • ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig ’s disease: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. ALS is a chronic disorder that causes a loss of control of voluntary muscles. The nerves controlling speech, swallowing, and limb movements are often affected.
  • Parkinson’s disease: Parkinson’s disease (Parkinsonism) is marked by the presence of certain recognizable symptoms. These include uncontrollable shaking or tremor, lack of coordination, and speaking difficulties.
  • All forms of dementia: Dementia refers to a category of diseases that cause loss of memory and deterioration in other mental functions. Dementia occurs due to physical changes in the brain and is a progressive disease.

Brain injuries are often caused by blunt trauma. Trauma can damage brain tissue, neurons, and nerves. This damage affects brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body. Examples of brain injuries include: hematomas, blood clots, contusions, or bruising of brain tissue, cerebral edema, or swelling inside the skull, concussions, strokes
Sometimes, tumors form in the brain and can be very dangerous. These are called primary brain tumors. In other cases, cancer somewhere else in the body spreads to the brain. These are called secondary or metastatic brain tumors. Brain tumors can be either malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous)
Mental disorders, or mental illnesses, are a large and diverse group of conditions that affect a person’s behavior patterns. Some of the most frequently diagnosed mental disorders are:

  • Depression and/or Anxiety
  • Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder is a mental illness marked by extreme shifts in mood. Symptoms can include an extremely elevated mood called mania.Bipolar disorder is also known as bipolar disease or manic depression.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating anxiety disorder that occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.
  • Schizophrenia: People with schizophrenia slowly lose contact with reality and often have delusions or hallucinations.
