Advanced Neurological Care

The Neurology Department at New Healing Stream Specialist Hospital specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Our team of consultant neurologists uses modern diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment protocols to deliver accurate diagnoses and effective, personalised care plans.

We manage a broad spectrum of neurological conditions — from the relatively common, such as migraines and epilepsy, to the complex and chronic, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and post-stroke rehabilitation. Our department works in close collaboration with neurosurgery, radiology, physiotherapy, and the ICU to ensure integrated, seamless care for every patient.

Accurate Diagnosis

We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools including EEG, nerve conduction studies, and neuroimaging to identify conditions precisely.

Personalised Treatment

Every patient receives an individualised treatment plan developed by specialist neurologists in discussion with the patient and family.

Multidisciplinary Care

We collaborate with neurosurgery, physiotherapy, radiology and the ICU to provide comprehensive care for complex neurological cases.

Neurological Investigations We Perform

Accurate diagnosis is at the heart of great neurological care. We use the following tools to understand each patient's condition precisely.

EEGElectroencephalogram to measure and record brain electrical activity — key for epilepsy diagnosis.
Nerve Conduction StudiesMeasures how fast electrical signals move through nerves — used in peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel evaluation.
Brain MRI / CTAdvanced neuroimaging in collaboration with radiology for stroke, tumours, and structural brain pathology.
Cognitive TestingStandardised neuropsychological assessments to evaluate memory, attention, and executive function.
EMGElectromyography to assess the health of muscles and the nerves that control them in neuromuscular disorders.
Lumbar PunctureCSF analysis for diagnosing meningitis, encephalitis, and multiple sclerosis when clinically indicated.

Your family doctor can also refer you if they suspect a neurological condition during your consultation.
Your first appointment will include a detailed neurological history, a full neurological examination (testing reflexes, coordination, sensation, strength, and cognition), and a review of any previous tests. Based on the findings, your neurologist will discuss a diagnosis, recommend further investigations if needed, and outline a treatment plan. Please bring any previous brain scans, EEG reports, or medical records.
Yes. The majority of people with epilepsy — approximately 70% — can achieve good seizure control with appropriate anti-epileptic medication. Our neurologists carefully select and monitor medication based on your seizure type, age, lifestyle, and other medical conditions. For medication-resistant epilepsy, further specialist options including neurosurgery referral may be considered.
