In the Neurology Department of "Dobrobut", the following diseases are treated:
- acute ischemic stroke;
- post-stroke conditions, traumatic brain injuries, post-infection and post-toxic damage to the central nervous system (conservative restorative treatment);
- vascular diseases of the central nervous system (encephalopathies, consequences of strokes);
- Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders;
- epilepsy and epileptic syndromes;
- vegetative-vascular disorders;
- shingles;
- dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system of various origins (as a result of stress, vascular disorders, traumatic brain injury, neuroinfections, and others, as well as due to age-related changes in the body during the premenopause and menopause periods), panic attacks, autonomic crises;
- peripheral nervous system diseases accompanied by pain, including vertebrology and radiculopathy, myofascial syndromes;
- neuralgias and neuropathies of various origins and any localization;
- headaches of various origins.
Diagnosis of Neurological Diseases
The neurologists at the "Dobrobut" medical network begin diagnostics from the first acquaintance with the patient.
The doctor assesses whether there are any disturbances in the patient's gait and speech, pays attention to memory, reaction time, asks questions about lifestyle, and clarifies whether there is a genetic predisposition to certain diseases. Then the neurologist conducts an examination. A neurological examination includes testing reflexes, muscle strength, pupil reactions, etc.
Key tools for neurological testing:
- neurological hammer, which the neurologist uses to check reflexes;
- needle - a disposable wooden toothpick, used to identify sensory disorders;
- tuning fork, which is used to check one type of deep sensitivity - vibratory sensitivity;
- flashlight, which can be used to check the pupillary reaction to light.
Instrumental Diagnostics Methods in Neurology
For a precise assessment of the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems, instrumental diagnostics are used. The neurologists of the "Dobrobut" medical network utilize advanced research methods with modern equipment.
Our patients have access to the following types of diagnostics:
- ultrasound Doppler examination of the vessels of the head and neck;
- ultrasound of muscles and their tendons;
- X-ray examination of all sections of the spine (including functional tests);
- MSCT (with and without contrast);
- MRI 1.5 Tesla (with and without contrast);
- examination of vessels in MRI mode: angiographies without contrast and with contrast;
- EEG video monitoring (including daily monitoring);
- perimetry (determination of visual fields);
- OCT (optical coherence tomography, which helps to clarify the presence of damage to the optic nerve).
Nervous System Diseases
The most common diseases in neurology are memory disorders, strokes, and neuralgias. One of the most frequent complaints, often reported by women, is headaches. Physicians at Dobrobut have experience in treating patients with various neurological pathologies: headaches, strokes, and post-stroke conditions (paralysis), consequences of head and spine injuries, vascular diseases of the CNS, epilepsy and syndromes, Parkinson's disease, neuralgias, Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors, and others.
Neurological symptoms for which a patient can consult a neurologist:
- dizziness, instability, unsteadiness while walking;
- hearing disturbances (noise effects, reduction or changes in hearing);
- taste and smell disturbances;
- any sensory disturbances;
- headaches and facial pain;
- facial asymmetry;
- memory disturbances;
- vision disturbances (double vision, loss of visual fields (scotoma), or constriction of visual fields, especially in young people);
- seizures with loss of consciousness (with or without convulsions);
- weakness in the limbs, limb pain;
- back and neck pain;
- anxiety states;
- facial asymmetry;
- sleep disturbances.
Caring for patients, the experience of doctors, and the coordinated work of a team of medical professionals provide comfort during treatment and facilitate rapid recovery. By contacting us, you can be sure that you will receive qualified assistance at a high level according to world treatment standards.
Rehabilitation Direction
Many patients with neurological profiles require physical rehabilitation after illness. The neurology department of "Dobrobut" has a separate direction responsible for medical rehabilitation in neurology, specializing primarily in patients with brain damage due to stroke, traumatic brain injuries, anoxic brain damage due to cardiac arrest, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.
Physical therapists practice kinesitherapy, focusing on restoring lost functions (sitting, standing, and squatting, walking), while occupational therapists work on daily living skills: dressing, washing, bathing, brushing teeth, shaving, etc. Together with speech therapists, patients overcome speech issues (aphasia, dysarthria), restore swallowing skills, work to improve cognitive functions, and address the consequences of facial muscle paresis.
There are three rehabilitation halls in the center: a neurological hall, an occupational therapy room, and a gym.
Our Equipment
Neurological Hall:
- verticalization table for heavy patients;
- mechanotherapy devices (MOTOmed trainer);
- rehabilitation treadmill for patients learning to walk;
- suspension therapy cabin;
- suspension system for safety while walking;
- special motor splints (for developing the range of motion resulting from prolonged and post-operative joint immobilization) and other various support equipment.
Sports Hall:
- suspension therapy cabin, allowing for the development of damaged muscle groups in the legs or arms in a state of weightlessness;
- table tennis - for restoring balance and coordination through the pace of play;
- exercise bike.
Occupational Therapy Room:
- kitchen corner with utensils and household appliances;
- work table with stationery and game items;
- a kit of special aids for dressing and putting on shoes.
In the occupational therapy room, our patients learn to restore daily living skills.
We have a well-coordinated team of highly qualified specialists: neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, anesthesiologists, and psychologists.
Empathetic attitude towards the emotional state and needs of the patient, quality treatment, and care contribute to a quick recovery and ensure comfort. By trusting your health to the neurologists of the "Dobrobut" medical network, you can be confident in the high quality of services provided and the modern level of care.
