EMC Hospital, Batala, is proud to announce the launch of its new Neurology Department, designed to provide comprehensive neurological care to the community. Under the leadership of the highly respected Neurologist, the department is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological conditions with the latest technology and personalized care.
*Consultation Timings:*
The Doctor will be available for consultations on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Patients can schedule appointments during these times to receive expert care for any neurological concerns.
*Understanding Neurological Disorders:*
Neurological disorders can manifest in various forms and affect individuals differently. Some of the common symptoms that may indicate the need for a neurological consultation include:
– *Persistent Headaches:* Frequent or severe headaches that do not respond to usual treatments.
– *Dizziness and Balance Issues:* Feeling lightheaded or unsteady, which could indicate issues with the brain or inner ear.
– *Numbness or Tingling:* Sensations of numbness or tingling, particularly in the hands, feet, or face, can be signs of nerve damage or neurological disease.
– *Muscle Weakness:* Sudden or unexplained weakness in the limbs or face.
– *Seizures:* Sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain, leading to changes in behavior, movements, or consciousness.
– *Cognitive Changes:* Memory loss, confusion, difficulty in concentrating, or other cognitive issues.
– *Speech and Vision Problems:* Difficulty speaking or understanding speech, blurred or double vision.
– *Tremors or Involuntary Movements:* Shaking or jerking movements, especially of the hands or head.
It is essential to seek medical advice if any of these symptoms are present, as early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
*Advanced Diagnostic Facilities:*
The Neurology Department at EMC Hospital Batala is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis of neurological conditions. The following advanced tests are available:
– *EEG (Electroencephalogram):* An essential tool for diagnosing epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other conditions affecting brain activity. It records electrical signals in the brain to identify any abnormalities.
– *EMG (Electromyography):* Used to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. EMG can help diagnose conditions such as muscle disorders, nerve dysfunction, and diseases that affect the connection between nerves and muscles.
– *NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity):* A test that measures the speed at which electrical signals travel through the nerves. It is crucial for diagnosing conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and other nerve-related disorders.
These diagnostic services are supported by a team of experienced medical professionals who ensure that each patient receives a thorough evaluation and an accurate diagnosis.
*Comprehensive Treatment Plans:*
Following diagnosis, Dr. Sarabjit and his team develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs. The treatment options may include:
– *Medication Management:* Prescription of drugs to manage symptoms, reduce the frequency of episodes (such as seizures or migraines), and slow the progression of neurological diseases.
– *Physical Therapy:* Rehabilitation exercises to improve movement, balance, and coordination for patients recovering from strokes, injuries, or surgery.
– *Lifestyle Modifications:* Recommendations for changes in diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors that can positively influence neurological health.
– *Surgical Interventions:* In cases where surgery is necessary, EMC Hospital provides access to state-of-the-art surgical facilities and highly skilled surgeons.
The goal of the Neurology Department is not only to treat neurological conditions but also to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their health effectively.
