Neuro sciences

Neurology is the branch of medical science that deals with the study, diagnosis and the treatment of nervous system disorders. Neurology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems and their subdivisions, the autonomic and somatic nervous systems. This further includes their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue.

Neurologists (one who specializes in neurology) may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, and basic or translational research. While neurology is a nonsurgical specialty, its corresponding surgical specialty is neurosurgery.

Human body shows some signs whenever its functioning is disturbed. Therefore, below signs are the indicative measures / conditions that one must see neurologists. Additionally, the team of Neurologists and Neurosurgeons at Athaayu, are well experienced and have been successful in diagnosing and treating these diseases

• Movement disorders – Parkinson’s disease
• Seizure disorders – epilepsy
• Memory problem – Alzheimer’s disease
• Spinal cord disorders
• Speech and language disorders
• Cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke
• Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis

A neurologist is the one who specializes in treating diseases of the nervous system. The nervous system is made of two parts: the central and peripheral nervous system. It includes the brain and spinal cord. Illnesses, disorders, and injuries that involve the nervous system often require a

A neurosurgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system including congenital anomalies, trauma, tumors, vascular disorders, infections of the brain or spine, stroke, or degenerative diseases of the spine. They differ from neurologists in that they’re specifically trained and certified to use surgical treatments, whereas neurologists are focused on other forms of treatment.

Because neurosurgeons are experts in the human nervous system, they also perform a wide variety of duties in addition to surgery. For instance, other health specialists such as emergency room doctors and neurologists often consult with neurosurgeons regarding their cases. Neurosurgeons also help evaluate and rehabilitate people with neurological conditions.

Spine or backbone, is your body’s central support structure. It connects different parts of musculoskeletal system. Spine helps the human to sit, stand, walk, twist and bend. Back injuries, spinal cord conditions and other problems can damage the spine and cause back pain. Therefore Spine is said to be an important yet complex structure that serves as a pillar to support the human bodyweight. A healthy spine shows a good quality of life. However, it is susceptible to several medical conditions/ disorders –

• Spina bifida
• Slipped disc (Spinal disc)

Spine might also be affected due to injuries which are caused by some external events such as accidents. Some spinal disorders could be by birth defects or Spinal tumors as well.

Our experienced practitioners and Neurosurgeons are well equipped at Athaayu and therefore, we can provide best neurological treatments. Now a days, spinal disorder – back pain, sciatica – are caused due to poor lifestyle. Working professionals sit at one place for long working hours, hence diseases like sciatica has seen a tremendous increase in the recent years. Though the spinal disorders are treated by therapies and medicine, in today’s culture, sedentary lifestyle has led to a massive increase in the risk of back pains and injuries, and as a consequence, the increasing need for spinal surgeries.
