 Stroke care includes a variety of treatments and therapies to help patients recover and manage their condition. We provide 24/7 Stroke Emergency Care. 

 Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder in which groups of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes send the wrong signals and cause seizures. 

 Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and other cognitive functions 

 Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves 

 A migraine is a severe headache that causes throbbing, pulsing head pain on one side of your head. 

 A brain hemorrhage, also known as a hemorrhagic stroke, is a type of stroke that occurs when there's bleeding in or around the brain. This bleeding prevents oxygen from reaching the brain and can be life-threatening. 

 A transcranial Doppler (TCD) scan, also known as a transcranial Doppler ultrasound, is a non-invasive ultrasound technique that measures blood flow in the brain.  

 A carotid ultrasound, is a painless, safe test that uses sound waves to make images of what your carotid arteries look like on the inside.  A carotid artery ultrasound looks for blood clots or plaque (fat and cholesterol deposits) on your carotid artery walls. These plaque deposits can limit and eventually block the flow of blood to your brain, face and neck. 

 A nerve conduction test, also known as a nerve conduction study (NCS) or velocity (NCV) test, uses electrical impulses to assess nerve damage.  This test helps to diagnose issues with your peripheral nerves, such as peripheral neuropathy and nerve compression syndromes. 

 An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a painless test that measures the electrical activity of the brain. It's used to evaluate seizures and conditions that mimic seizures. 

 An electromyography (EMG) is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of muscles and the nerves that control them. It's used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities, such as muscle or nerve disorders. 

 Botox (botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin that can be used to treat a number of neurological conditions. Botox works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter that tells muscles to contract. It's injected into the muscle with a fine needle, and the effects usually start within 1 to 3 days. 

 Neurosurgery is a medical specialty that involves diagnosing, assessing, and treating disorders of the nervous system.
