Neurology Hospital in Delhi NCR

A neurologist is a highly trained specialist who treats conditions of the brain, Spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

Stroke, migraine, Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Muscular Dystrophies and Peripheral Neuropathy are some common conditions in this vast and complex field.

The Neurologist will review your symptoms in-depth and ask you about any associated medical conditions that you may have. He will then proceed to do a detailed examination including a thorough assessment of the nervous system. The neurologist may order some investigations to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. Thereafter the plan of management, prognosis and follow-up visits will be discussed with you at length.

Rapid advances in the understanding of neurological disorders have translated into a highly effective treatment for almost all neurological conditions. Rapid strides in neuro-diagnostics have enabled early diagnosis and vastly improved outcomes.

Neuroscience is the study of the cellular, functional, behavioural, evolutionary, computational, molecular, and medical aspects of the nervous system. Neuroscience focuses on the human brain and how it regulates the body and behaviour.

The various branches of Neuroscience are:

• Affective neuroscience
• Behavioural neuroscience
• Clinical neuroscience
• Cognitive neuroscience
• Computational neuroscience
• Cultural neuroscience
• Developmental neurosciences
• Molecular and Cellular neuroscience
• Neuroimaging
• Neuroinformatics
• Neurophysiology
• Neurolinguistics

A neurological exam is done to evaluate a patient’s nervous system and assess motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, mental status, reflexes, and functioning of the nerves.

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with nervous system disorders which include, the brain, blood vessels, muscles and nerves. There are 3 main areas of neurology, autonomic, central, and peripheral nervous systems. A doctor who works in the field of neurology is called a neurologist.

Neurologists don’t perform surgery, they monitor and supervise the treatment. They can refer patients requiring surgery to a neurosurgeon or spine surgeon.

There are a few symptoms of neurological disorders that you should never ignore:

• Muscle weakness

• Seizures

• Unexplained pain

• Poor cognitive abilities

• Difficulty reading and writing

• Unexplained pain

• Partial or complete paralysis

Neurologist- A neurologist is a medical doctor with experience in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of nervous system conditions. They treat conditions like headaches, sleep disorders, brain tumors, strokes, epilepsy, brain and spinal cord injuries, etc.

Neurosurgeon- A neurosurgeon is a doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions of the brain, spine, and nervous system using surgical and nonsurgical treatments based on the type of injury. Conditions treated by neurosurgeons include aneurysms, blocked arteries, brain tumors, spinal surgery, etc.

You should visit a neurologist if you experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Headaches, chronic pain, dizziness, weakness, seizures, numbness or tingling, vision problems, memory problems or confusion, and sleep problems.

• Back pain

• Brain and spinal cord injury or infection

• Brain tumor

• Epilepsy

• Headaches

• Multiple sclerosis

• Stroke

• Seizures

• Parkinson’s disease

During a neurological examination, the neurologist performs some tests to identify medical conditions affecting the nervous system. The exact procedure and the number of tests required depend on the symptoms of any suspected condition.

Neurological disorders can result from a number of causes such as:

• Lifestyle-related causes
• Infections
• Genetics
• Nutrition-related causes
• Environmental influences
• Physical injuries
