Stroke neurologists at the Dobrobut Clinic
During the consultation, the clinic's experienced neurologists-stroke specialists will help you find out the cause of your complaints using modern examination methods and select an effective treatment.
What does a consultation with a neurologist-stroke specialist include?
During the consultation, the clinic's neurologist-stroke specialist conducts a comprehensive examination based on the patient's complaints, prescribes the necessary treatment and/or rehabilitation measures.
What is included in a comprehensive examination?
During the consultation in the clinic, a neurologist-stroke specialist assesses the patient's behavior, basic reflexes, sensitivity, orientation in time and space, and general mental state. The examination may include determining brain activity or the presence of peripheral nerve damage.
The specialist then decides whether additional diagnostic measures are needed: CT or MRI, cerebral angiography, duplex scanning, MR angiography of cerebral vessels, spinal ultrasound, etc. Based on the diagnostic results, he provides recommendations and, if necessary, prescribes drug therapy.
Why should I follow the prescribed treatment?
An important condition for successful pharmacological treatment is adherence to the medication regimen. Failure to comply with the medical prescriptions of a stroke neurologist can lead to serious irreversible health consequences.
To assess the dynamics and the need for therapy correction, periodic medical consultations, monitoring of laboratory parameters and consideration of the feasibility of involving patients in rehabilitation programs are required.
What are rehabilitation measures for?
Rehabilitation is necessary to improve the quality of life of patients with neurological disorders, in particular after a stroke, and return to normal life. The purpose of rehabilitation measures is to improve the functioning of individual organs or limb movements, eliminate neurological deficits, restore work capacity and social and domestic activity, and adapt to independent care.
Do not hesitate to make an appointment with a neurologist-stroke specialist. Timely medical care will help to avoid serious health consequences and save lives.
