We offer individually tailored treatment plans for all people with their first seizure and patients with epilepsy.
Back Pain
There are different causes of neck and back pain. The first step is obtaining scans to identify the causes of pain. It is important that depending on the cause of the pain.

IIH is an underdiagnosed disorder that affects mostly women during their reproductive age and is especially common in overweight patients.
Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAD)
ICAD occurs when the inside of brain arteries become lined with a hard white substance called plaque, made up of deposits of fat and cholesterol.
Dizziness
Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or dizziness and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, that occurs as a result of problems within the brain or the inner ear.
Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) or Arteriovenous fistula (AVM)
DAVFs are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the tough covering over the brain or spinal cord (dura mater).
Carotid Disease
Carotid artery disease is a narrowing of the carotid arteries which can cause reduced blood flow to the brain and can result in plaque breakage and clot formation eventually leading to stroke.
This is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain, and about 50,000 patients suffer from it each year. A stroke can have a devastating effect on someone’s life and so the treatment and prevention of stroke is extremely important.
Often called a ministroke, a TIA is a temporary period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke. A TIA usually lasts only a few minutes and doesn’t cause permanent damage but like stroke, the prevention of future TIA episodes or stroke is critical.
Headache—in all its varieties—are common and can seriously affect your quality of life. When headaches don’t respond to the usual treatments, our specialists can help.
Chronic migraine is a debilitating and often misunderstood headache disorder. The good news is that effective migraine treatment can help the management and prevention of further attacks, to minimise their impact on your life.
Almost 500,000 Australians have a brain aneurysm, which is a bulge that forms in the blood vessels of your brain and in some patients can lead to rupture resulting in bleeding into the brain. It’s important that aneurysms, once discovered, are scanned regularly to ensure they do not enlarge. Some aneurysms, if large enough, may require treatment to prevent rupture.
We offer individually tailored treatment plans for all people with their first seizure and patients with epilepsy.
There are different causes of neck and back pain. The first step is obtaining scans to identify the causes of pain. It is important that depending on the cause of the pain, each cause may require a different approach to pain management, involvement of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
IIH is an underdiagnosed disorder that affects mostly women during their reproductive age and is especially common in overweight patients. It is characterised by a persistent headache and visual disturbances. If severe it can increase the risk of long term visual disability.
ICAD occurs when the inside of brain arteries become lined with a hard white substance called plaque, made up of deposits of fat and cholesterol. It can result in lower blood flow to the brain and in some patients can cause stroke. Most patients can be treated with medication and in rare instances require stenting to reduce the risk of future stroke.
Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or dizziness and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, that occurs as a result of problems within the brain or the inner ear.
DAVFs are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the tough covering over the brain or spinal cord (dura mater). In some patients, this can cause symptoms such as pulsatile tinnitus and/or headache.
Carotid artery disease is a narrowing of the carotid arteries which can cause reduced blood flow to the brain and can result in plaque breakage and clot formation eventually leading to stroke.
