Neurology

Overview

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating the body’s functions, including movement, sensation, and mental activity.

A neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Neurological disorders can affect people of all ages, and can have a wide range of symptoms. The neurologists at SRV Hospitals use a variety of techniques, including physical examination, imaging tests, and laboratory tests, to diagnose conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and brain tumors.

The Neurology department at SRV Hospitals is committed to providing advanced neurological care and treatment to our patients

Conditions

Neurology is a medical specialty that deals with disorders of the nervous system. The conditions covered by neurology include a wide range of neurological disorders, such as:

  • Epilepsy and seizures
  • Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA)
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia
  • Neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis

  • Neurological infections such as meningitis and encephalitis
  • Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.

Neurologists are trained to diagnose and treat these and other neurological disorders, and may use a variety of techniques and tools to do so, such as imaging studies, neurological exams, and lab tests. They may also work with other healthcare professionals, such as neurosurgeons and physical therapists, to provide comprehensive care for individuals with neurological conditions.

Symptoms of neurological disorders can also vary widely depending on the condition and the specific part of the nervous system affected. Some common symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Numbness or tingling in the limbs

  • Vision problems
  • Dizziness or balance problems

Advance Treatments with SRV Hospitals

The treatment options for neurological disorders vary depending on the specific condition, but SRV Hospitals recommends:

Medication: Neurological disorders often require specific medications to manage symptoms, such as pain, seizures, and muscle spasms. Some examples include anti-seizure medications, pain relievers, and muscle relaxants.

Physical therapy: This type of treatment can help to improve muscle strength, coordination, and flexibility in patients with neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injuries.

Occupational therapy: This type of therapy can help patients with neurological disorders to relearn daily living skills and improve their ability to perform activities of daily living.

Speech therapy: This type of therapy can help patients with neurological disorders that affect speech, such as aphasia, to improve their communication skills.

Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat neurological disorders, such as tumors, aneurysms, and certain types of head injuries.

Lifestyle Changes: Some neurological disorders can be managed with lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stress management.

Assisted devices: Assistive devices such as wheelchairs, braces, and prostheses can help patients with neurological disorders to improve mobility and independence.

It’s important to note that treatment options for neurological disorders can vary widely depending on the specific condition and the stage of the disorder.
