Neurology: Advanced Brain and Nerve Care at Shankar Super Speciality Hospital

Welcome to the Neurology Department at Shankar Hospital, where we specialise in advanced brain and nerve care solutions. Our team of expert neurologists is committed to delivering personalised treatment plans and ensuring optimal outcomes for every patient.

About Neurology at Shankar Hospital

Neurology is a medical speciality focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing nervous system disorders, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. At Shankar Hospital, our neurology department, led by our esteemed experts, offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services for a wide range of neurological conditions. You can trust in our expertise and experience regarding your neurological care.

Difference between Neurology and Neurosurgery

Neurology and neurosurgery are closely related but distinct medical specialities:

Neurology focuses on diagnosing and managing neurological conditions using non-surgical approaches such as medication management, lifestyle modifications, and rehabilitative therapies.
Neurosurgery, on the other hand, involves surgical interventions to treat neurological conditions, including brain tumours, spinal cord injuries, and vascular malformations. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform intricate surgeries to correct structural abnormalities and restore neurological function.

While neurologists and neurosurgeons work closely together to provide comprehensive care for patients with neurological disorders, their roles and responsibilities differ based on their areas of expertise and training.

Memory loss, confusion, or changes in cognitive function.
Seizures or unexplained episodes of altered consciousness.
Movement disorders such as tremors, stiffness, or involuntary movements.
Neuromuscular symptoms include muscle weakness, fatigue, or muscle cramps.

Diagnostic Capabilities

Our neurology department is equipped with advanced diagnostic capabilities, including:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Detailed brain and spinal cord imaging to diagnose neurological conditions such as stroke, tumours, and multiple sclerosis.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

This monitors brain electrical activity to diagnose and manage epilepsy and other seizure disorders.

Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG)
