The brain, nerves, and spine form the central nervous system, which controls all voluntary and involuntary actions in the body. A brain, nerves, and spine patient would see specialist(s) in the field(s) of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and/or Spine Surgery.
The brain acts as the control center, transmitting and receiving signals through nerves to and from different parts of the body. The spine, composed of vertebrae, protects the spinal cord and facilitates movement.
Nerve disorders such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathy can result in symptoms such as muscle weakness, tremors, and numbness. Spinal disorders such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis can cause chronic pain and impaired mobility.
In Malaysia, the trend of stroke incidence and mortality has been increasing in recent years. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, too. Stroke is a medical emergency caused by a disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell death. It can result in permanent physical and cognitive impairments, including paralysis, speech difficulties, and memory problems.
Stroke is caused by disruption of blood flow to brain (ischemic stroke) or haemorrhage of vessels of brains circulation (hemorrhagic stroke).
Early diagnosis and treatment of brain, nerve, and spinal conditions can help to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. This can include physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery. Regular check-ups and healthy lifestyle choices, such as exercise and proper posture, can also help to prevent and manage conditions of the brain, nerves, and spine.
- Brain Tumours - Diagnosis and surgical treatment of tumors affecting the brain.
- Spinal Disorders - Management of conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or spinal deformities.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) - Surgical interventions for injuries to the brain caused by trauma.
- Cerebrovascular Disorders - Treatment of conditions affecting blood vessels in the brain, including aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
- Peripheral Nerve Disorders - Surgical management of issues affecting peripheral nerves, such as nerve entrapment or tumours.
- Migraines and Headaches - Diagnosis and management of recurrent headaches, including migraines, tension-type headaches, and cluster headaches.
- Epilepsy - Treatment and monitoring of seizures and epilepsy, involving medication management and sometimes surgical interventions.
- Stroke - Evaluation and care for individuals who have experienced a stroke, focusing on prevention, rehabilitation, and recovery.
- Neuropathy - Management of peripheral neuropathy, which involves damage to the peripheral nerves and can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Diagnosis and ongoing care for individuals with MS, an autoimmune condition affecting the central nervous system.
- Craniotomy - Surgical opening of the skull to access and treat brain conditions, such as tumor removal or aneurysm clipping.
- Spinal Fusion - Surgical procedure to join two or more vertebrae, often performed for spinal instability or deformities.
- Discectomy - Surgical removal of part or the entire intervertebral disc, commonly done to treat herniated discs.
- Shunt Placement - Implantation of a shunt to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid, often used to manage conditions like hydrocephalus.
- Peripheral Nerve Surgery - Surgical procedures to address issues affecting peripheral nerves, including decompression or tumor removal.
- Laminectomy - Removal of the lamina (back part of the vertebra), often done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
- Foraminotomy - Surgical enlargement of the neural foramen, the opening where nerve roots exit the spine, to alleviate nerve compression.
