Understanding Neurology
Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system. This includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The nervous system is responsible for controlling and regulating all bodily functions, such as movement, sensation, and thinking. Neurological disorders can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, and it is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any symptoms of a neurological condition.
With a team of experienced neurologists, MM Hospital offers the best neurology treatment in Namakkal with compassionate and effective care to patients with neurological conditions.
Specialized Stroke Care
One common neurological condition is stroke, which occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. This can happen due to a blood clot or a ruptured blood vessel. Strokes can cause a wide range of symptoms, including weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and loss of vision. We use the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques to ensure that patients receive the best stroke treatment in Namakkal.
Stroke Signs and Symptoms
Recognizing stroke signs and symptoms is crucial for prompt medical intervention. Common signs include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech
- Severe headache with no known cause
- Dizziness, difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Vision problems in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble with coordination or spatial awareness
If any of these signs or symptoms are present, it is important to call emergency services immediately as every minute counts in minimizing potential damage from a stroke.

- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Often called a "mini-stroke," these are temporary stroke-like symptoms
Our stroke unit provides rapid diagnosis and treatment to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes.

Our Advanced Treatments
We provide the best neurology treatment in Namakkal for all neurologic conditions including:
- Skull Base Endoscopic and Neuro Vascular Surgery: A surgical technique performed using an endoscope to treat aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. These surgeries can help to improve blood flow to the brain and prevent strokes and other complications.
- Skull Base Surgery: A specialized surgical technique used to treat conditions such as brain tumors, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations. It helps to remove or repair damaged tissue, improves blood flow to the brain, and alleviates symptoms.
- Surgery for Acute Head Injury and Spinal Injuries: These surgeries may be necessary to treat acute head and spinal injuries that involve neurological disorders to stabilize the spine and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
- Advanced Stroke Treatment: Including thrombolytic therapy (clot-busting medications), mechanical thrombectomy, and specialized rehabilitation programs.
