How We Treat: Medication, physical therapy, and occasionally botulinum toxin injections or deep brain stimulation for more severe cases.

Epilepsy

What We Treat: Epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system in which abnormal brain activity causes seizures or periods of altered behavior or sensations and sometimes a loss of consciousness.

How We Treat: Antiepileptic medications are the primary treatment; other options include neurosurgery, ketogenic diet, or vagus nerve stimulation.

Febrile Seizure

What We Treat: Febrile seizures are convulsions that occur in some infants or small children as a result of a fever.

How We Treat: Management usually involves reducing the fever with medication and ensuring safety measures during the convulsion. Long term treatment is not normally required, unless there is a recurrence of seizures.

What We Treat: Spina bifida is a birth defect involving the spine and spinal cord. The spinal cord doesn’t have enough room in the spine, and this may cause physical and intellectual disabilities.

How We Treat: We treat it with surgery, sometimes prenatally. Ongoing postnatal care includes treatment of symptoms and prevention and treatment of complications.

Tethered spinal cord syndrome

What We Treat: Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a rare neurological disorder. It is caused by tissue attachments that slow or immobilize the spinal cord within the spinal column.

How We Treat: We treat it with surgery, which is often necessary to prevent further neurological deterioration. The goal is to free the spinal cord from tethering structures.

Vasovagal Syncope

What We Treat: Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause of fainting. This occurs when the body overcompensates for certain triggers such as seeing blood or severe emotional stress.
