Neurology Care at Shri Ram Hospital, Vikaspuri
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the brain, spinal cord and nerves. These control movement, sensation, speech, memory and balance, so a problem in the nervous system can affect everyday life. Early diagnosis and the right treatment make a real difference.
The Neurology Department at Shri Ram Hospital provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of brain and nerve conditions. Because emergency care, ICU, diagnostics and surgical teams are all in the same hospital, patients can move from assessment to treatment without delay.
We are in Vikaspuri, West Delhi, and serve patients from Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, Dwarka, Tilak Nagar, Paschim Vihar, Rajouri Garden and across Delhi NCR.
Signs That Need Urgent Care
Some neurological symptoms need immediate attention. Do not wait for an appointment if you or someone near you has any of these.
Go to Emergency Immediately If You Notice
- Face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech: These are warning signs of a stroke. Treatment is time-sensitive, so note the time symptoms started and get to the hospital at once.
- Sudden severe headache: Especially if it is the worst headache of your life, or comes with vomiting, a stiff neck or confusion.
- A seizure: A fit that is new, lasts a long time, repeats, or is followed by confusion that does not clear.
- Sudden loss of vision, balance or consciousness: Fainting, sudden dizziness with weakness, or a sudden change in alertness.
- Head injury with drowsiness or vomiting: Needs urgent evaluation, even if the injury looked minor.
For these symptoms, call +91 62623 04050 or come to our 24-hour emergency department. Do not drive yourself.
Symptoms of Neurological Disorders
Neurological problems can start quietly. See a neurologist if any of the following are persistent, getting worse or affecting daily life.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent or severe headaches: Frequent headaches or migraines that do not settle with usual care.
- Dizziness or loss of balance: Feeling unsteady, spinning or falling more often than before.
- Numbness or tingling: In the hands, feet, arms or legs, which may point to a nerve problem.
- Memory loss or confusion: Forgetting recent events, getting lost or difficulty with familiar tasks.
- Speech difficulty: Trouble finding words, slurred speech or difficulty understanding others.
- Muscle weakness or tremors: Loss of strength, shaking or stiffness that affects daily activities.
- Fainting or blackouts: Episodes of unexplained loss of awareness.
These symptoms can have many causes, and not all are serious. A neurologist can find the cause and advise treatment.
Neurological Conditions We Treat
Our neurology team evaluates and treats a wide range of conditions of the brain, spine and nerves.
Common Conditions
| Condition | What It Is |
|---|---|
| Stroke | Blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or a vessel bleeds, damaging brain cells. It needs emergency care. |
| Epilepsy and seizures | A condition with recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. |
| Migraine and chronic headache | Severe or frequent headaches, often with nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. |
| Parkinson's disease | A progressive condition affecting movement, causing tremor, stiffness and slowness. |
| Peripheral neuropathy | Damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, causing numbness, tingling or pain. Diabetes is a common cause. |
| Multiple sclerosis | A condition where the immune system affects the nerves, causing weakness, vision or balance problems. |
| Vertigo and balance disorders | Dizziness and spinning sensations, which may come from the inner ear or the nervous system. |
| Memory disorders | Problems with memory and thinking, including dementia in older adults. |
Some conditions, such as brain and spine problems needing an operation, are handled together with our neurosurgery team.
How Neurological Problems Are Diagnosed
A correct diagnosis is the base of good treatment. Your doctor decides which tests you need after hearing your history and examining you.
Evaluation and Tests
- Detailed history and neurological examination: The doctor checks reflexes, strength, sensation, coordination, speech and memory.
- Brain imaging: CT scan or MRI may be advised to look at the brain and spine for abnormalities.
- EEG (electroencephalogram): Records electrical activity of the brain, mainly to evaluate seizures.
- Nerve conduction studies: Check how well nerves carry signals and help detect nerve damage.
- Blood tests: Help find causes such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency, infection or thyroid problems.
Not every patient needs every test. Our team will explain what is needed and why.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the diagnosis, how severe it is and the patient's overall health. Many neurological conditions can be managed well when treated early.
How We Treat Neurological Conditions
- Medicines: Used to control symptoms such as seizures, headaches or tremor, reduce inflammation or slow progression of a disease.
- Emergency and stroke care: Urgent assessment and treatment, with ICU support for patients who need close monitoring.
- Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy help improve movement, daily function and communication.
- Surgical care: For certain brain, spine or nerve conditions, our neurosurgery team may advise an operation.
- Long-term follow-up: Regular reviews to adjust treatment and keep the condition under control.
Your doctor will explain the options, benefits and risks, and plan treatment together with you and your family.
Protecting Your Brain and Nerve Health
Not every neurological condition can be prevented, but healthy habits lower the risk of many, especially stroke.
Everyday Steps That Help
- Control blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol: These are major risk factors for stroke and nerve damage. Take medicines regularly and get checked.
- Stay physically active: Regular exercise improves blood flow and overall health.
- Eat a balanced diet: Include vegetables, fruit, whole grains and limit excess salt and fried food.
- Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol: Both raise the risk of stroke and nerve problems.
- Manage stress and sleep well: Good sleep and stress control support brain health and can reduce headaches.
- Protect your head: Wear a helmet while riding and a seat belt while driving.
