Head

Head & Neurological Conditions, understood in one place.

Your brain sends the signals that move, balance, and speak for you. When that signaling is disrupted — by stroke, injury, or a progressive condition — we help you read what’s happening and plan the path to recovery. Everything we treat under Head & Neuro is gathered right here, no extra clicking required.

Stroke

A sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain — every minute of delay costs brain tissue.

What is stroke?

A stroke happens when a blood vessel feeding the brain becomes blocked or bursts. Deprived of blood and oxygen, brain cells in that area begin to die within minutes, and the body part that region controls stops working properly.

Because damage can begin almost immediately, recognizing the signs and getting help quickly is the single biggest factor in limiting long-term impact.

Diagnosis

Emergency evaluation starts with a CT scan to determine whether the stroke is ischemic (a blood clot) or hemorrhagic (bleeding), since treatments for one can be dangerous for the other. Additional imaging may follow to locate the clot or bleed, gauge the extent of damage, and rule out look-alike conditions.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A jolt or blow to the head that ranges from a mild concussion to severe, lasting injury.

What is a traumatic brain injury?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or any jolt that shakes the brain inside the skull — leading to bruising, swelling, or tearing of brain tissue.

Most people recover fully from a mild injury with rest. Severe or repeated injuries can leave longer-lasting difficulty with movement, learning, or speech.

Symptoms
Diagnosis

A physician examines you and may order a CT scan or MRI to check for bleeding or swelling, a neurological exam to assess brain and nerve function, and cognitive testing to evaluate memory and thinking.

Cerebral Palsy

A group of lifelong movement disorders caused by differences in early brain development.

What is cerebral palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders affecting a person’s ability to move and hold balance and posture. It’s caused by abnormal development of, or damage to, the developing brain — most often before or shortly after birth — that disrupts muscle control.

Symptoms
Diagnosis

Diagnosis draws on developmental monitoring, a detailed medical and developmental history, physical and neurological examination, brain imaging such as MRI or CT, and an assessment of motor skills and reflexes.

Parkinson's Disease

A progressive nervous-system disorder that gradually affects movement and coordination.

What is Parkinson's disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects the body parts nerves control. Symptoms typically start slowly and subtly — often a barely noticeable tremor in one hand — before gradually adding stiffness and slowed movement.

As it progresses, facial expression may soften, arm swing when walking may lessen, and speech can become quieter or slurred.

 
Symptoms
Diagnosis

There’s no single test for Parkinson’s. Diagnosis relies on medical history, a review of signs and symptoms, neurological and physical examination, response to Parkinson’s medications, and imaging such as MRI, CT, or PET to rule out other causes.
