CONDITIONS WE TREAT


Conditions


There are numerous neurological conditions that we specialize in treating. Explore the various conditions we manage and seek assistance from our experienced providers.

Headache & Migraine

Episodic Migraine

Migraine attacks that come and go. The most common subtype of migraine.

Chronic Migraine

Migraine that has become near daily. Most of the headaches may not even have features of migraine.

Vestibular Migraine

Migraine with associated vertigo-like symptoms. This is most commonly a subtype of chronic migraine.

Menstrual Migraine

A type of migraine experienced consistently around menstruation.

Post Concussive Migraine

Migraine that presents after head trauma. This is usually in concert with other post-concussive symptoms.

Chronic Tension Type Headache

Headaches without migraine features that can be near daily.

Episodic Tension Type Headache

The most common type of headache. What most people consider a “regular” headache.

CSF Leak (Intracranial Hypotension)

A condition of low spinal fluid pressure, usually leading to positional headache (worse when upright).

Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)

A condition of high spinal fluid pressure, usually leading to positional headache (worse when laying down) and with commonly with visual changes.

Episodic Cluster Headache

Severe one sided headache attacks that “cluster” over a 1-2 month period of time.

Chronic Cluster Headache

Severe one sided headache attacks that occur without a month of headache freedom

Hemicrania Continua

Continuous one sided headache pain with migraine-like exacerbations that responds to a specific medication.

Paroxysmal Hemicrania

Shorter lasting one sided headache attacks that only respond to a specific medication.

SUNCT

Extremely short lasting one sided attacks where the eye tears and turns red

SUNA

Extremely short lasting one sided attacks with other symptoms on the same side, including eyelid drooping, tearing, sinus congestion or runny nose

Cervicogenic Headache

Headache associated with neck pain – either with arthritis or muscle tension and spasm

Occipital Neuralgia

Reproducible pain in the back of the head in one or two specific areas.  It can be due to chronic migraine, neck pain, or sometimes it can happen by itself.

Hypnic Headache

Headache that wakes you up at the same time of night. Also called “alarm call headache.”

Sleep Disorders

Insomnia

Inability to fall or stay asleep

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Difficulty breathing during sleep

Parasomnias

Abnormal movements and activities during sleep

Hypersomnia

Falling asleep unintentionally

Restless Leg Syndrome

Urge to move the legs and feet when trying to fall asleep

Seizures

Epilepsy

Episodes of abnormal electrical activity that cause loss of consciousness and unintentional movements.

Nonepileptic Seizures (NES)

Seizure-like attacks and symptoms not caused by electrical activity in the brain

Concussion/TBI

Post-Concussion Syndrome

Symptoms (such as headache, dizziness, brain fog, etc.) after a head trauma that persist.

Stroke Recovery

TIA

An episode of stroke that lasts less than 24 hours with a normal MRI

Stroke

Recovery after a stroke – to avoid further vascular episodes and obtain appropriate therapies

Tremor

Essential Tremor

Abnormal shaking movements of the limbs (typically genetic)

Tic

A sensation of an urge to repeat an activity

Cervical Dystonia

Neck pain due to a severe muscle spasm

Neuromuscular Disorders

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Progressive nerve disease causing muscle weakness and paralysis.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Genetic disorder causing muscle weakness and atrophy.

Neuropathy

Nerve damage causing pain, weakness, and numbness.

Myopathy

Muscle disease leading to weakness and dysfunction.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Autoimmune disease causing nerve damage and impairment.

Transverse Myelitis (TM)

Inflammation of the spinal cord causing weakness and sensory loss.

Neuromyelitis Optic (NMO)

Autoimmune disorder causing inflammation in the spinal cord and optic nerves.

Optic Neuritis (ON)

Inflammation of the optic nerve causing vision loss.

Neurodegenerative
Dementias

Minimal Cognitive Impairment

Early-stage memory or cognitive decline.

Diffuse Lewy Body Disease

Neurodegenerative disorder with abnormal protein deposits.

Frontotemporal Dementia

Degeneration of frontal and temporal brain lobes.

Vascular Dementia

Cognitive decline caused by impaired blood flow.

Alzheimer Disease

Progressive memory loss and cognitive decline.

Pain &
Spinal Conditions 

Spinal trauma

Injury to the spinal cord or vertebrae.

Disc herniation

Displaced spinal disc pressing on nerves.

Nerve Compression

Pressure on a nerve causing pain or dysfunction.

Tumor

Abnormal tissue growth, benign or malignant.

Balance and Dizziness

Dizziness

Sensation of unsteadiness or lightheadedness.

Balance issues

Difficulty maintaining stability or coordination.

Hearing Loss

Partial or total inability to hear.

Tinnitus

Ringing or buzzing noise in the ears.

Vertigo 

Spinning sensation or dizziness with balance loss.

Parkinson Disease &
Movement Disorder

Parkinson’s Disease

A neurodegenerative disorder with tremors, slow movement, rigidity, and balance issues due to dopamine loss.

Parkinsonism

A group of conditions with Parkinson’s-like symptoms but different causes, including drug-induced, vascular, and atypical forms

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

A condition causing balance problems, difficulty with eye movements, and stiffness.

Restless Legs Syndrome

A disorder causing an urge to move the legs, usually with uncomfortable sensations.

Tourette Syndrome

A condition with repetitive, involuntary tics, both motor and vocal.

Pediatric Neurological Disorders

Cerebral Palsy

A group of disorders affecting movement and muscle tone, caused by damage to the developing brain.

Epilepsy

A disorder characterized by recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

A developmental disorder affecting communication, behavior, and social interactions.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

A condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.

Hydrocephalus

A condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, leading to increased pressure.

Other

Post-Covid neurological symptoms 

Persistent brain or nerve issues following COVID-19.

Altered Mental Status (AMS)

Changes in consciousness, awareness, or behavior.

Neurological Infections

Infections affecting the brain or nervous system.

Numbness and tingling

Loss of sensation with prickling or pins-and-needles feeling.

Optic neuropathy

Damage to the optic nerve affecting vision.

Syncope

Temporary loss of consciousness, usually from low blood flow.
