  • Infections
  • Injuries
  • Tumors
  • Conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis and scoliosis

Vertigo

Vertigo is a medical condition where a person feels as if they or the objects around them are moving when they are not. Often it feels like a spinning or swaying movement. This may be associated with nausea, vomiting, sweating, or difficulties walking. It is typically worsened when the head is moved. Vertigo is the most common type of dizziness.

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning while stationary. It is commonly associated with nausea or vomiting, unsteadiness (postural instability), falls, changes to a person’s thoughts, and difficulties in walking. Recurrent episodes in those with vertigo are common and frequently impair the quality of life. Blurred vision, difficulty in speaking, a lowered level of consciousness, and hearing loss may also occur. The signs and symptoms of vertigo can present as a persistent (insidious) onset or an episodic (sudden) onset.

Stroke

What is a stroke?

Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the World. It occurs when the brain’s supply of blood to is interrupted or reduced and as a result, it does not get enough oxygen or nutrients. When this happens, it causes brain cells to die. There are three main kinds of stroke:

  • Ischemic – Ischemic strokes are caused by a narrowing or blocking of arteries to the brain.
  • Hemorrhagic – Hemorrhagic strokes are caused by blood vessels in and around the brain bursting or leaking.
  • TIA – Transient ischemic attacks are also referred to as mini-strokes.

What are the symptoms?

Strokes occur quickly and without warning. The main symptoms of stroke include:

  • Trouble with seeing, in one or both eyes
  • Confusion, including trouble with speaking and understanding
  • Headache, possibly with altered consciousness or vomiting
  • Numbness of the face, arm or leg, particularly on one side of the body
  • Trouble with walking, including dizziness and lack of coordination.

Strokes can lead to long-term problems. Diagnosing and treating the patient quickly is the best way to avoid permanent disabilities in the aftermath of a stroke. Remembering the acronym F.A.S.T. can help identify the onset of stroke more quickly.

  • Face drooping: Does one side of the face droop?
  • Arm weakness: Does one arm drift downward?
  • Speech difficulty: Is their speech slurred or strange?
  • Time to call: If any of these signs are observed, contact the emergency services.

Headaches or Migraines

What is a migraine?

A migraine is a severe, intense headache accompanied by throbbing in the temples, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Patients can experience them intermittently or suffer with them regularly for many years. A migraine is a chronic illness, but can be managed with careful treatment and preventative medicine.

What triggers can activate migraines?

Migraines may be caused for a number of reasons. Some of the triggers which can make the headaches more likely to occur include:

  • Alcohol
  • Weather changes
  • Lack of sleep
  • Schedule changes
  • Dehydration
  • Hunger
  • Certain foods
  • Strong smells

Migraines can often go undiagnosed and left untreated. If you regularly experience signs and symptoms of migraine attacks, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your headaches.

How are migraines treated?

We help patients with frequent migraines by using the most advanced treatments available. Neurologists will diagnose your migraine based on your medical history, symptoms, and a physical and neurological examination. Migraines that are severe, frequent, or accompanied by neurological symptoms are best treated with preventative measures.
