The
Neuro Spinal Hospital plans specialised clinics and programmes
for quick diagnosis and effective treatment. Stroke
Unit: From the moment of affliction to physical and
occupational rehabilitation, the team aims to minimise attendant
brain damage, optimise the patient's return to normal life and
prevent recurrence. Comprehensive
Epilepsy Programme: The programme will work with
paediatric and adult neurologists and seek to manage difficult
seizure disorders. Movement
Disorders Clinic: Parkinson's Disease, Huntington
Disease and a wide array of tremors and abnormal movements are
treated aggressively. Pain
Clinic: A multi-discipline unit committed to helping
patients manage chronic long term pain, including both cancer pain
and non-malignant pain. Back
Pain Clinic: The clinic will attempt to diagnose and
treat all causes of pack pain. "Well back" clinics will
help people learn "back hygiene." Among the
therapies offered will be intrathecal (area around the nerves)
therapy and spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain. Neuromuscular
Clinics: Neuromuscular physicians will help diagnose as
well as treat those whose diseases are treatable and will guide
therapists and other physicians in treating and maintaining
independence, for as long as possible, in cases where there is no
specific treatment. Multiple
Sclerosis Clinic: To provide new treatments aimed not
only at slowing and/or stopping the disease but also at decreasing
the physical limitations produced in some by the sclerotic
process. Sleep
Disorder Clinic: This unit will help sort out all types
of sleep-related problems--too sleepy, not able to sleep or
abnormal behaviours or movements in sleep, as well as snoring and
other sleep-related respiratory disorders.
