From emergency stroke intervention to long-term management of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and dementia, our neurologists in Navi Mumbai combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostics to deliver precise, personalized treatment.

Treatments We Offer

• Cerebrovascular conditions
  Transient ischemic attacks, ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and cerebral venous thrombosis are managed with rapid imaging and time-sensitive interventions, followed by structured recovery planning.
• Epilepsy and seizures
  From first-time seizures to long-standing, difficult-to-control epilepsy, treatment includes medication adjustment, trigger identification, and counselling for daily safety.
• Movement disorders
  Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia, and gait imbalance are assessed clinically and managed with medication titration, rehabilitation, and fall-risk reduction.
• Headache and pain
  Migraine, cluster headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, and medication-overuse headaches are approached based on pattern recognition and tailored therapy.
• Demyelinating and neuroimmunological disorders
  Conditions like multiple sclerosis, NMOSD, and autoimmune encephalitis are evaluated by experienced brain & nerve specialists in Navi Mumbai with appropriate imaging and lab support.
• Neuromuscular disorders
  Peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, myasthenia gravis, radiculopathy, and plexopathy are diagnosed using clinical exam and nerve studies, with targeted treatment plans.
• Cognitive and behavioral neurology
  Memory concerns, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and frontotemporal disorders are addressed with staging, counselling, and caregiver guidance.
• Neuro-infections and metabolic conditions
  Meningitis, encephalitis, TB-related neurological issues, and metabolic encephalopathies are treated with timely intervention and monitoring.
• Pediatric neurology
  Developmental delays, childhood epilepsy, and neuromuscular concerns are handled in a child-friendly, family-inclusive manner.

Advanced Diagnostics

Our neurology department is equipped with a full range of diagnostic tools to support accurate and timely diagnosis:

• EEG (Electroencephalogram)
  Records the brain's electrical activity; used to detect seizure patterns and evaluate altered consciousness
• EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies
  Assess nerve and muscle function; essential for diagnosing neuropathy, myopathy, and neuromuscular junction disorders
• CT Brain and CT Angiography
  Rapid imaging for stroke, trauma, and acute neurological emergencies
• Advanced Neuroimaging (MRI Brain and Spine)
  Available through coordinated referrals for detailed structural and functional brain assessment
• Vestibular Testing
  For patients presenting with dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders
• Cognitive Screening
  Standardised tools to assess memory, attention, and executive function
• Autonomic Function Testing
  For selected cases involving dysautonomia or unexplained fainting
• Comprehensive Laboratory Panels
  Covering metabolic, autoimmune, infectious, and genetic causes of neurological symptoms

Specialized Neurology Care

• Stroke Care
  When a patient reaches within that critical window, sometimes within 3–4.5 hours, decisions are made quickly. CT imaging guides thrombolysis eligibility, while blood pressure, sugar levels, and temperature are stabilized. Long-term, attention shifts to preventing the next event.
• Epilepsy Management
  Treatment is rarely “one tablet fits all.” Doses are adjusted gradually, triggers like sleep deprivation or stress are discussed, and patients are guided on driving, work, and family planning.
• Movement Disorders Clinic
  Assessment often includes watching how a patient rises from a chair or turns while walking. Therapy extends beyond medication; speech, swallowing, and physiotherapy are equally important.
• Headache and Facial Pain
  Many patients come after years of “just taking painkillers.” Here, patterns are mapped out, preventive therapy is introduced when needed, and lifestyle factors like irregular meals or screen exposure are addressed.
• Neuromuscular Program
  Weakness in the shoulder girdle or foot drop is evaluated with EMG support. Some cases need infusion therapies; others improve with rehabilitation and assistive devices.
• Cognitive and Elder Neurology
  Memory clinics focus not just on diagnosis but also on daily functioning, sleep cycles, behavioural symptoms, and caregiver fatigue, which are all part of the conversation.
• Pediatric Neurology
  Children are assessed gently, often through play or observation rather than formal testing alone. School performance and parental concerns are integrated into care.
• Rehabilitation and Recovery
  Recovery is rarely linear. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive rehab are planned with clear, realistic goals, whether it’s walking independently again or returning to work.

The Care Journey

Your first visit usually begins with a focused history and examination by our neurologists, often picking up small but important signs, followed by only the tests that are truly needed. Treatment is introduced in steps, balancing effectiveness with safety and day-to-day practicality. Follow-ups are planned to fine-tune medications, track recovery, and prevent complications. Carry prior reports and, if possible, a brief symptom diary for better clarity.

FAQS

• When should I see a neurologist and not just my general physician?
  If you experience recurrent headaches, seizures, persistent dizziness, memory changes, weakness, numbness, or movement difficulties, a neurologist should evaluate you for further care.
• What happens during a first neurology appointment?
  Your doctor will take a detailed history of your symptoms and perform a neurological examination. Based on findings, specific investigations may be recommended. Most patients leave the first visit with a clear initial plan.
• Is epilepsy a lifelong condition?
  Not always. Some people are successfully weaned off medication after a seizure-free period. Others require long-term treatment. Your neurologist will discuss this based on your specific type of epilepsy.
• What is the difference between a CT scan and an MRI for the brain?
  CT is faster and better suited for acute emergencies like stroke or head injury. MRI provides greater detail for structural and inflammatory conditions. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate test.
• Is memory loss always a sign of dementia?
  No. Memory concerns can arise from stress, sleep issues, thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies, or depression, all of which are treatable. A proper evaluation helps identify the cause.
