Protecting health and performance: Neurology Hamburg
Your nervous system controls, regulates and coordinates your speech, thinking, feeling and all the vital functions of your body. This means that a healthy nervous system is at the heart of your health and performance . Your neurologist at Neurology Hamburg knows this: your nervous system is unique - and that's exactly why your neurological treatment plan is, too.
Specialists in Neurology Hamburg are familiar with the latest research and treatment options for neurological diseases. They take a multidisciplinary approach to treating diseases of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. These include, for example, common neurological diseases such as epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease.
Neurology Hamburg: When should I see a neurologist?
Six common signs that tell you it's time to visit Neurology Hamburg include:
Headaches: If you suffer from chronic or very severe headaches, you should make an appointment with us - especially if the discomfort is accompanied by neurological symptoms (such as, unconsciousness, visual, speech or sensory disturbances) or attempted treatments do not work.
Dizziness and balance problems: If you experience frequent dizziness or have difficulty maintaining balance, this may be a sign of an underlying neurological problem.
Numbness or tingling, especially if it occurs on one side of the body or suddenly, are serious symptoms. They may be a sign of stroke or other disease and need to be examined neurologically immediately.
Movement problems: difficulty walking, shuffling feet, tremors and involuntary twitching are all possible signs of a problem with the nervous system.
Memory problems or confusion: Worsening memory problems, personality changes, or confusing words may be signs of Alzheimer's disease.
What happens during an appointment with the neurologist at Neurology Hamburg?
Your neurologist can help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and create an individualized treatment plan . A thorough neurological exam can help differentiate and pinpoint triggers for common symptoms.
At your initial neurology appointment, your doctor will get a comprehensive picture of your health. He or she will talk with you about previous illnesses and your symptoms, taking time to understand your lifestyle and possible stresses that affect you in your daily life.
This is followed by a physical examination and various tests, depending on the suspected clinical picture. As a rule, the following nerves and body functions are tested:
- Cranial nerves, including sensory and speech nerves
- Motor skills, reflexes, strength and coordination
- Sensitivity
- Cognitive abilities, memory and psyche
- Vegetative nervous system, including heartbeat and respiration
Depending on the results of the individual tests, further examinations may follow, for example blood and urine tests, measurement of brain waves (EEG), muscle activity (EMG) or nerve conduction (ENG). An ultrasound scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also be considered. Sometimes it is necessary to take nerve fluid from the lower part of the spine (lumbar puncture).
Neurology Hamburg: What are the treatment options for neurological diseases?
Your neurologist Hamburg can prescribe the following treatment options:
- Medications: Your:e doctor may recommend medications such as antiepileptic drugs or blood thinners to reduce or eliminate the side effects of an acute or chronic neurological condition.
- Radiation: for small or difficult-to-treat brain tumors, noninvasive radiation treatments such as cyberknife radiosurgery (precision irradiation of benign and malignant tumors) or radiation therapy are often used.
- Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy and therapeutically guided rehabilitation sports can help to improve or restore the body's ability to function.
- Nerve stimulation: non-invasive brain stimulation such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), magnetic seizure therapy (MST) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), for example in epilepsy, Parkinson's disease or severe depression.
- Pain management: Interventional pain management, including injection of an anesthetic or steroid to block pain signals in the brain, and various treatments for headaches and neck pain.
- Psychotherapy: Nervous disorders and mental illnesses are often linked. Your:e specialist:in Neurology Hamburg can therefore refer you to the Department of Psychotherapy for treatment.
