Neurology
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of the human nervous system, its diseases, diagnosis, and treatment. The nervous system is one of the most complex and vital organs in the body, controlling all vital functions: movement, sensation, perception of the surrounding world, as well as higher mental processes. A neurologist investigates, diagnoses, and treats diseases related to the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Importance of Neurology for Health
Diseases of the nervous system can affect various aspects of a person’s life, including physical and psycho-emotional well-being. From disorders in the functioning of the brain and spinal cord to diseases of the peripheral nerves, neurology covers a wide range of conditions. Neurological disorders can be either acute or chronic, and timely consultation with a specialist can prevent many of them or significantly alleviate the course of the disease.
Among the most common conditions treated by a neurologist are:
- Stroke — an acute disruption of blood circulation in the brain, which can lead to paralysis, speech impairments, and other serious consequences.
- Migraine — a chronic headache that may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and light sensitivity.
- Dementia (including Alzheimer's disease) — deterioration in memory, thinking, and other cognitive functions, often associated with age-related changes.
- Epilepsy — a condition involving seizure attacks.
- Inoperable spine diseases and nerve roots — such as osteochondrosis, radiculitis, and intervertebral hernias.
- Parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease — disorders related to impaired motor function.
- Neuropathies — diseases of the peripheral nervous system, accompanied by pain, tingling, weakness, or paralysis of limbs.
- Neuroses and depression — psychosomatic disorders affecting the nervous system.
These conditions can significantly reduce the patient's quality of life, and timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Neurology Services at Our Hospital
We offer a wide range of neurology services, including the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders. Our specialists have many years of experience and high qualifications, allowing us to provide our patients with an individualized and comprehensive approach to treatment.
1. Diagnosis of Neurological Diseases
Accurate diagnosis is the first step towards successful treatment. Our hospital uses the most modern diagnostic methods to precisely identify the cause of the disease and develop a treatment plan. We offer the following diagnostic services:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) — one of the most accurate methods for diagnosing brain and spinal cord diseases.
- Computed Tomography (CT) — used to detect structural changes in the brain and spine.
- Electroencephalography (EEG) — studies brain activity using electrical impulses.
- Electromyography (EMG) and Electronuromyography (ENMG) — diagnosing diseases of the peripheral nervous system.
- Ultrasound Doppler of neck and head vessels — studying blood circulation in the brain and neck to diagnose stroke and other vascular diseases.
- Laboratory tests — blood and urine tests to detect inflammatory processes or metabolic disorders.
2. Treatment of Neurological Diseases
Our neurologists develop individual treatment programs using both medicinal and non-medicinal methods. We offer the following treatment options:
- Medications — prescribing drugs for the treatment of headaches, epilepsy, stroke, neuropathies, spinal diseases, and other disorders.
- Physiotherapy — using various physical methods (massage, therapeutic exercise, electrostimulation) to restore motor activity and reduce pain.
- Surgical Treatment — surgeries on the spine, nerve roots, and neurosurgical interventions for severe brain diseases such as tumors.
- Psychotherapy — treatment for neuroses, depression, and other psycho-emotional disorders that may have a neurological basis.
- Rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain injury — helping to restore lost functions, including speech, memory, movement, and other aspects.
3. Prevention of Neurological Diseases
Prevention is an important part of treatment, helping to prevent the development or exacerbation of diseases. Our specialists will help develop personalized prevention programs, which may include:
- Regular check-ups and diagnostics to detect pathological changes early.
- Lifestyle adjustments — work and rest schedules, physical activity, proper nutrition.
- Stress management and emotional control methods to prevent psychosomatic diseases.
- Maintaining vascular health to prevent stroke and other vascular diseases.
