FAQs
The first appointment with your neurosciences doctor will include questions around your present condition and past medical history. It is required that you bring along all necessary documents like blood reports or a cardiac report, medications that you are taking and a list of questions you want to ask your neurologist. It is possible that your doctor can schedule a physical examination to examine your sensory and motor functions. Try wearing loose fitted clothes for a closer evaluation.

Spinal cord
Brain
Nerves
Muscle
The disorders are:
Stroke
Epilepsy
Migraine/ Headaches
Prankison's
Multiple Sclerosis
Brain Tumors
Brain Injuries
Alzheimer’s
Degenerative Spine Disorders
Slip Discs
Spinal Injury
Spinal Tumour, Spinal Deformities
Loss of hearing or speech difficulties

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.
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
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.
