Services includes :
- Stroke assessment and neurological care
Stroke can affect speech, movement, sensation, coordination and other neurological functions. Specialist assessment can help evaluate neurological symptoms, guide appropriate investigations and support treatment planning and follow-up after a stroke. - Headaches and migraine
Frequent, persistent or severe headaches may require further investigation to establish their cause. Neurological assessment can help distinguish between different headache disorders and guide suitable management strategies for migraine and other recurring headaches. - Peripheral neuropathy and nerve disorders
Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, burning sensations, pain or muscle weakness. Assessment can help investigate possible underlying causes and determine appropriate management. - Neurological examinations and diagnostic assessment
A neurological examination evaluates functions such as muscle strength, reflexes, sensation, coordination and balance. Depending on the patient's symptoms, further investigations may be recommended to help establish a diagnosis and inform treatment decisions. - Nervous system disorders
Neurological symptoms can arise from a range of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Specialist evaluation can help determine the nature of the problem and whether additional investigations, treatment or referral to another specialist is appropriate.
