Neurology
The human nervous system is
an intricate network that regulates and coordinates all functions of a body
from voluntary functions such as talking and walking to involuntary procedures,
for instance, digestion and breathing. If there is any disruption in the
system, it may lead to numerous neurological conditions which may need special
medical care.
What Is Neurology?
Neurology is a branch in
medical field that involves in the study, diagnosis and management of disorders
of spinal cord, brain, neuromuscular junction and muscles, and peripheral
nerves. A nervous system is a sophisticated and complex system which can
regulate and coordinate body activities. There are numerous medical
advancements in neurology such as
- Neuroplasticity research
- Neurodegenerative disease treatments
- Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)
- Gene therapy and neuro-regeneration
- Neuroimaging advancements
Which Neurological Conditions Do We Treat?
We provide utmost care to
patients who are suffering from diseases of spinal cord, brain, nerves, and
muscles. Our highly skilled team of neurologists specializes to provide the
right diagnosis and the best treatment for neurological conditions. Some

patients with acute neurological crisis and traumatic brain injuries.
FAQs
What symptoms indicate the need to see a neurologist?
There are some warning signs
that you should never ignore and consult with a neurologist immediately. These
symptoms can be
- Severe/frequent headaches
- Unexplained dizziness or loss of balance

How are neurological disorders diagnosed?
To diagnose neurological disorders,
we use numerous methods – detailed medical history, different diagnostic tests
and physical and neurological exams. Some tests conducted by us are
angiography, biopsy, electroencephalography, thermography, evoked potential
test, electromyography, imaging, cerebrospinal fluid disorders, etc.
