Neurological Conditions We Treat

Neurologists and neurological surgeons at Methodist Charlton treat a diverse range of conditions. We care for chronic conditions, like chronic pain, as well as immediate and life-threatening emergencies, such as stroke.

Neurological conditions we treat include:

Brain and spinal tumors
Chronic pain, especially in the back and neck
Degenerative spine disorders such as spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine that can put pressure on the spinal nerves)
Movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease and restless leg syndrome
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis
Neurological conditions affecting blood vessels in the brain, such as aneurysm and stroke
Spinal cord injuries caused by trauma such as car accidents and sports-related injuries

Diagnostic Procedures We Offer

At Methodist Charlton, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to diagnose neurological conditions.

Diagnostic tests we offer include:

CT, MRI, and PET scans: These advanced imaging techniques take detailed pictures of the brain and spine to help identify tumors, injuries, and degenerative diseases.
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA): This specialized imaging test allows neurologists to see blood vessels in the brain and other parts of the body. We use it to look for blood vessels that are narrowed, blocked, or bleeding and may cause a stroke or aneurysm.
Electroencephalogram (EEG): This test monitors brain activity and helps neurologists detect and diagnose conditions like seizures and sleep disorders.
Electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction: These tests help neurologists analyze your muscle and nerve health. When performed together, these tests assess how well your nerves communicate with your muscles.

Neurology Treatments We Offer

We offer several treatments, from preventive care to spinal cord therapies to potentially lifesaving stroke care. Treatments we provide include:

Medication: Medicines may help manage symptoms, slow the progression of a condition, or lower your risk of further health complications.
Injections: If you experience chronic pain, inflammation, or swelling, your doctor may recommend injections. They help relieve pain and discomfort so you can regain your mobility.
Minimally invasive surgery: We may recommend surgical treatment when your symptoms are severe or disabling and don’t respond to nonsurgical treatment. Neurosurgeons use minimally invasive techniques performed through smaller incisions to treat spinal disorders and stroke.

Certified Stroke Care

At Methodist Charlton, we are certified by The Joint Commission as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center. The Advanced Primary Stroke Certification recognizes stroke care programs that follow national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients. Advanced diagnostic imaging and treatment procedures enable us to treat strokes appropriately.
