Neurological Disorders

What Are Neurological Disorders?

Neurological disorders involve the brain, spinal cord, or nerves — affecting movement, sensation, memory, or behavior. These conditions can range from mild headaches to complex diseases like Parkinson’s or epilepsy.

At Dr. Bhinder Clinic, our internal medicine team provides early diagnosis, symptom control, and preventive care to protect your neurological health and quality of life.

Common Neurological Conditions We Treat

• Headaches & Migraines: Chronic or recurrent head pain caused by nerve, vascular, or stress factors.
• Neuropathy: Nerve damage often related to diabetes, leading to tingling or numbness in extremities.
• Stroke & Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA): Sudden brain circulation issues causing weakness or speech problems.
• Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders: Abnormal brain electrical activity resulting in episodes of altered awareness or movement.
• Parkinson’s Disease: Progressive condition affecting movement control and coordination.
• Vertigo & Balance Disorders: Inner ear or brain-related dizziness and imbalance.
• Sleep Disorders: Insomnia, sleep apnea, or other sleep-related neurological issues.
