Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Neurology Services

Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, numbness or tingling in the limbs, muscle weakness, seizures, memory loss, and difficulty speaking or understanding speech. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice.

During a neurological exam, the doctor will review your medical history, ask about your symptoms, and perform a physical examination. This may include tests of your reflexes, muscle strength, coordination, sensation, and mental status.

Diagnosis may involve a combination of physical exams, imaging tests (MRI, CT scans), electrophysiological tests (EEG, EMG), blood tests, and lumbar puncture. Your neurologist will determine the appropriate tests based on your symptoms.

Treatment options for epilepsy include medication to control seizures, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgical procedures to remove or alter the area of the brain where seizures originate. Advanced treatments like vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may also be considered.

Chronic migraines can be managed with a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and preventive therapies. Botox injections and nerve blocks are also effective treatments for some patients. Your neurologist will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

Minimally invasive neurosurgery involves smaller incisions and the use of advanced technology to perform surgical procedures on the brain and spine. This approach typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
