Pain Management & Pain Management Headaches

Chronic headaches and neurological pain can have a significant impact on patients’ daily lives. In our clinic, we use modern treatments to manage migraine, tension headache and neuropathic pain, combining medication, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes.

Epilepsy Treatment & Epileptic Seizure Disorders

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures. In our clinic, we offer advanced diagnostic methods and individualized treatment plans, including antiepileptic medication and, when necessary, surgical or neurostimulation interventions.

Stroke is a medical emergency that can be prevented with proper management of risk factors. In our department, we implement specialized prevention programs, including medication, lifestyle counseling and state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to assess vascular risk.

Treatment of Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction of the nervous system and can be particularly severe and chronic. At our practice, we use multidisciplinary treatment approaches, including neuromodulation medications, physiotherapy and neurostimulation, to help patients manage pain and improve their quality of life.

At our clinic, we perform specialized neurological evaluation, cognitive testing and individualized treatment plans aimed at stabilizing the condition and improving patients’ daily lives.

Frequently asked questions

Headaches can be caused by migraine, tension headache, neck syndrome or neurological conditions. If they are accompanied by sudden intensity, confusion, loss of vision or weakness in the limbs, immediate medical evaluation is required.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Management involves appropriate medication and avoiding factors that can trigger seizures, such as sleep deprivation and stress.

Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm or leg, confusion, difficulty speaking, loss of vision and unsteadiness may indicate a stroke. It is critical to call 911 immediately or be taken to the nearest hospital.

If you are experiencing persistent headaches, sudden changes in movement or sensation, memory loss, seizures or symptoms that affect your daily life, it is important to be seen by a neurologist for early diagnosis and treatment.

Dizziness may be due to benign causes, such as positional vertigo, but it may also be associated with more serious neurological disorders. If it is accompanied by instability, headache, blurred vision or numbness, a neurological examination is required.
