The neurological disorders primarily include diseases of:
- Spinal cord
- Brain
- Nerves
- Muscles
The disorders are:
- Stroke
- Epilepsy
- Migraine/Headaches
- Parkinson’s
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Brain tumors
- Brain Injuries
- Alzheimer’s
- Degenerative Spine Disorders
- Slip Discs
- Spinal Injury
- Spinal Tumour, Spinal Deformities
To Know more about all the Neurology Disorder
- Sudden numbness or weakness
- Loss of hearing or speech difficulties
- Confusion
- Poor cognitive skills
- Double vision
- Difficulty in vision
- Seizures
- Difficulty in walking
- Severe Headache
- Bladder/ Blood Dysfunction
This therapy provides a likelihood of recovery in about 40-50% patients, witnessing that there is a standard protocol for both Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke with all advanced forms of treatment.
However, in the absence of neurological deficit like weakness in the limbs, loss of sensation, bowel/bladder disturbances, you should opt for a trial of adequate conservative management- the period of which is normally 3 weeks to 3 months. Conservative therapy can be in the form of analgesics, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes. Despite that, if the pain persists or if there is progression of symptoms, then surgery is advised. Indications for surgery include:
- Onset of a new neurological deficit.
- Bowel / Bladder problems
- Failure of adequate conservative trial
- Neurogenic intermittent claudication (pain, tingling & numbness in legs while walking)
- Intractable back pain interfering with activities of daily living.
There are a number of factors that can put increased pressure and strain on your spine. These include:
• bending awkwardly
• Jobs that involve heavy or awkward lifting
• Jobs that involve lots of sitting, particularly driving
• being overweight or obese
• Weight bearing sports, such as weightlifting
• A traumatic injury to your back, such as a fall or accident
Situations such as these can weaken the disc tissue and can sometimes lead to a slipped disc.
An initial treatment will usually involve a combination of physiotherapy and medication to relieve the pain. Though in some severe cases like if the pain continues for more than 6 weeks, surgery may also be recommended to release the compressed nerve and remove a part of slipped disc.
- Tremor (shaking of limbs)
- Bradykinesia(slowness of activities)
- Change in gait (walking)
- Instability or tendency to fall and rigidity
- Stooped posture
The progression of these symptoms is variable in each patient and usually extends over 5-10 years. People with Parkinson's who seek expert care have better outcomes. They are at a lower risk of complications, have a better quality of life and even live longer. Parkinson’s is a life altering disease but not life threatening. If left untreated it can negatively impact the quality of life.
