  • Should stroke patients get physical therapy?

    Absolutely! After a stroke, physical therapy is one of the most important parts of the recovery plan, especially for the first three months after the stroke. Starting in physical therapy as soon as safely possible and fully participating in the therapy gives the best chance to regain functions that were lost. If possible, work with a physical therapist who has special training or experience in treating stroke patients. Occupational therapy and speech therapy are important, too. READ MORE

  • Cervical spinal cord injuries?

    Spinal injuries can be tricky. Depending on the injury, it can be possible to function completely normally, sometimes even for years, until you move the wrong way and trigger symptoms. Some injuries also do not become symptomatic until a few hours to a few days later when inflammation and swelling set in. That is why it is always important to have a spinal injury checked out by a qualified medical provider, even if the injured person seems to look, feel, and function normally. READ MORE

  • Does a neurologist treat diabetic neuropathy?

    It depends on the neurologist. Some, like myself, will both diagnose and treat diabetic neuropathy. Others will make the diagnosis, then refer you to another provider or back to your primary care provider for treatment. READ MORE

  • Rare neurological disease?

    Hello, It sounds like you may have a condition called Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). This is a movement disorder caused by certain medications, such as Risperidone. TD usually causes involuntary movements of the muscles in your face and head, but can also affect muscles in your arms, hands, legs, and body. It is treatable, but generally not curable. Currently, there are 2 medications approved to treat TD: Austedo and Ingrezza. Antidepressants will not treat this disorder. Any Neurologist should be able to diagnose and treat TD. Medications like Risperidone can also cause Drug-Induced Parkinsonism; however, the symptoms of this usually resolve within about 6 months or so. READ MORE
