A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, potentially causing lasting brain damage. Our stroke care encompasses rapid intervention, personalised rehabilitation programmes, and long-term management strategies.
We utilise advanced imaging techniques and innovative therapies to maximise recovery and prevent future strokes.
Dementia is the term used to describe a deterioration in cognitive abilities that is severe enough to interfere with daily functioning. Some of the areas which can be affected include memory, thinking and behaviour. There are different causes of dementia, which include neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease.
At NeuroAxis, we offer comprehensive care from diagnosis to holistic management which aims to maintain cognitive function and support patients and their caregivers through their journey.
Epilepsy is characterised by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
We provide comprehensive approaches to diagnosing seizure disorders, including innovative investigations (EEG monitoring) and tailored treatment plans to ensure individualised care. Our goal is to achieve seizure control whilst enabling our patients to lead fuller, more active lives.
Headache disorders, including migraine and tension-type headaches, are common neurological conditions that cause significant impairments and impact quality of life. Our multifaceted approach includes identifying triggers, providing acute and preventive medications, and exploring non-pharmacological treatments such as lifestyle modifications and stress management techniques.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, immune- mediated condition that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It can cause a variety of different signs and symptoms and requires specialist-level treatment.
At NeuroAxis, we employ a multi-faceted approach in our MS care, which include symptom management as well as disease modifying therapies which aim to reduce relapse rates and slow down the rate of progression. We also focus on rehabilitation techniques to help maintain function and improve quality of life, tailoring our approach to each patient's unique needs and disease course.
Movement disorders result in too much or too little movements, which are abnormal and often involuntary. Examples include tremors and dystonia. There are many conditions that cause abnormal movements, such as Parkinson's disease.
Our comprehensive care includes medication management to address symptoms, physical therapy to improve mobility, and exploring innovative treatments such as deep brain stimulation when appropriate. We work closely with patients to adapt treatment plans as the condition evolves, focusing on maintaining independence and quality of life.
Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often causing weakness, numbness, and pain.
Our approach includes identifying and treating underlying causes, managing symptoms with medications and therapies, and providing guidance on lifestyle modifications. We aim to alleviate discomfort and improve nerve function, enhancing daily living and preventing further nerve damage.
Spinal cord disorders involve damage or dysfunction of the spinal cord that can cause weakness, sensory changes, and impaired coordination. These conditions may result from compression, inflammation, or autoimmune processes.
At NeuroAxis, we provide comprehensive evaluation using advanced imaging and neurophysiological testing. Our treatment approach combines medical interventions, rehabilitation techniques, and pain management strategies to maximise function and improve quality of life.
Functional neurological disorders present with neurological symptoms that aren't caused by structural disease but by disruptions in how the brain processes signals. Symptoms often include movement issues, sensory changes, or seizure-like episodes.
We offer a holistic approach beginning with thorough education about the condition. Our treatment combines cognitive behavioural therapy, physiotherapy, and symptom management techniques, empowering patients with strategies to regain control and improve daily functioning.
At NeuroAxis, we help those with neurological conditions overcome challenges and enhance life quality. We envision preventable conditions, timely treatment, and minimal disabilities. Founded by Dr Ganesh, NeuroAxis combines expertise with compassionate care.
