The knee is the body's greatest joint and supports a great deal of weight. Extreme force is required to cause serious injuries to this area, but normal wear and strain may also cause discomfort. Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs surrounding a joint) is a typical overuse injury. Other injuries, particularly dislocations, and fractures, may cause chronic knee discomfort. Knee pain is relatively simple to treat with the care that we provide.
Neck pain can be caused by ordinary activities and is typically mild, but severe neck pain requires immediate medical attention. Whiplash-related neck injuries can cause long-term discomfort. Whiplash is the unexpected jerking motion of the head that occurs when a vehicle abruptly stops. Other possible causes include arthritis and spinal canal constriction. We will accurately diagnose and treat your neck pain to alleviate your symptoms.
Hip pain, although the hip joint is designed to be durable, it is not immune to injury. Hip discomfort may be caused by arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and several other conditions. In addition to normal wear and strain, osteonecrosis may also occur. Typically caused by an injury, this condition reduces blood flow to the hip bones, resulting in bone death. We will determine the cause of your hip pain and administer the appropriate treatment to get you back on your feet.
Back pain can be caused by a variety of injuries, illnesses, and conditions. It is typically caused by misaligned muscles, discs, spinal joints, and nerves during movement.
The following list describes several potential causes of your back discomfort.
Migraines and other types of headaches are among the neurological diseases that we treat. The incidence of migraines is three times higher in women than it is in males. Like tension and sinus headaches, migraines can range from moderately uncomfortable to excruciatingly painful. They occur at regular intervals and are frequently accompanied by a heightened sensitivity to both light and sound. The throbbing or pulsing pain is typically localized to one side of the head and affects only that side of the head. Some people feel an aura immediately before a migraine begins. Experiencing a temporary loss of vision or seeing flashing lights or stars is one of the symptoms of an aura. Other symptoms include seeing zigzag patterns.
Both strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) result in the death of brain cells. Strokes are caused when a blood clot blocks the blood supply to the brain. TIAs are caused by a decrease in the amount of blood that is flowing to the brain, retina, or spinal cord. Sudden vertigo, trouble speaking, paralysis on one or both sides of the body, and vision impairments are some of the symptoms. A TIA is just like a stroke but does not cause permanent damage. Having a transient ischemic attack, however, increases the risk of having a stroke by one-third. Strokes and transient ischemic attacks (also known as TIAs) are both considered to be medical emergencies.
The EEG is used to diagnose epilepsy because epileptic activity produces distinct abnormalities on a typical EEG. An EEG is also used to diagnose encephalopathies and other abnormalities in normal brain function. The cranium is an electrode, and spontaneous brain activity is recorded. The EEG that records this information for 24-72 hours is known as ambulatory EEG. The device for ambulatory EEG does not interfere with daily activities or sleep, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Carotid and transcranial Doppler studies are used to determine the quantity of blood flow to the brain through each vessel. These examinations are used to diagnose embolisms (blood clots), stenosis (narrowing of blood vessels), and other conditions. Ultrasound and Doppler Effect probes are employed in the tests, which are quick and economical. They are frequently used in conjunction with additional diagnostic procedures, such as MRA and/or CT angiograms.
The ultrasound examination for carpal tunnel syndrome will look for a compressed nerve in the wrist as well as various joint/muscle/tendon/bursa disorders. Ultrasound is a procedure that utilizes an ultrasound probe and lubricant applied to the probe's surface. As diagnostic imaging is performed, the probe is positioned on the hand and gentle pressure is administered. This procedure is fast and painless.
The use of epidural steroid injections, also known as ESIs, is a frequent treatment for managing the pain and inflammation that are associated with ruptured discs and spinal stenosis. Injections of steroids into the epidural space have been successfully utilized as treatments for many decades. Complications are extremely uncommon, and any adverse effects, if they do manifest themselves, are often modest.
Ablations of the facet joints using radiofrequency During this procedure, radio waves are used to temporarily disable nerves in preparation for another procedure. It is an excellent treatment for the pain that is caused by problems with the facet joints. Because of the intrusive nature of the treatment, you will need to be given a local anesthetic. The pain relief provided by the treatment can last anywhere from several months to over a year, with the typical duration being approximately four hundred days.
Injection therapy for the treatment of. Injections of neurotoxins are not only advantageous from an aesthetic standpoint, but they are also an effective treatment for persistent migraines and hyperhidrosis. However, additional injections are required at regular intervals in order to sustain the effects for more than three months at a time.
Nerve pain (also known as neuropathic pain or neuralgia) is a type of chronic pain affecting the nerves that transmit information from the skin and other regions of the body to the brain and spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord constitute the central nervous system. Signals from your fingertips, arms, toes, etc. are transmitted to your brain by your peripheral nerves.
When nerves are damaged, they cannot communicate effectively. Occasionally, your nerves may lose the ability to communicate, resulting in numbness in certain areas of your body. In contrast, your nerves may occasionally transmit incorrect pain signals, causing you to experience pain. Our experts at Cayman Neurology have assisted numerous patients in reducing nerve pain over the years by implementing the most advanced pain management techniques.
