Neurology

Neurology is the speciality dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves.

Common conditions that neurologists can manage include:

• movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease,
• various tremor disorders, such as essential tremor and dystonia,
• stroke,
• epilepsy,
• pain management, including botulinum toxin treatment,
• neuropathy, and
• myopathy.

We can give opinions and manage all neurological disorders, but our neurologist has an interest in movement disorders – neurological diseases presenting with tremor or other involuntary movements, slowed movements, gait and balance disorders.

Treatment for movement disorders includes:

• medications,
• botulinum toxin, and
• functional neurosurgery (Deep Brain Stimulation).

Our qualified and experienced neurologists are:

• Dr Andrew Moey (Calvary Adelaide Hospital)
• Prof Dominic Thyagarajan (Calvary Adelaide Hospital)
