Comprehensive neurological care for patients of all ages
Epilepsy Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder causing recurrent seizures due to abnormal brain activity. Seizures are classified as either focal (affecting one brain region) or generalized (involving all areas of the brain). Tonic-clonic seizures are among the most recognized types. Our board-certified neurologists provide expert diagnosis and management using the latest monitoring technologies.
Neuromuscular Disease Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Neuromuscular diseases affect the muscles and the nerves that control them. Conditions such as radiculopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and muscular dystrophy cause muscle weakness ranging from mild to severe. Our team offers comprehensive evaluation, advanced diagnostic testing, and individualized treatment plans.
Nerve compression in the wrist causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm.
Sharp, burning, or throbbing pain; numbness and tingling; loss of coordination and balance.
Muscles lose function, causing weakness, fatigue, and progressive muscle tissue loss.
A severe form of myopathy arising from genetic mutations causing progressive muscle degeneration.
Caused by pinched nerves — sharp shooting pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
Neurodegenerative Diseases Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Neurodegenerative diseases affect the neurons — the cells that make up your nerves, spinal cord, and much of your brain. When neurons deteriorate, the body cannot replace them, leading to progressive symptoms that worsen over time. Memphis Neurology provides compassionate, comprehensive care for patients and families facing these diagnoses.
Cognitive decline, memory loss, confusion, communication difficulties, and psychiatric symptoms. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia.
Affects dopamine-producing neurons causing tremor, stiffness, slowed movement, and balance problems. May progress to affect walking, speech, and mood.
Loss of voluntary muscle control through degeneration of brain and spinal cord neurons. Symptoms include hand/walking difficulties and speech problems.
The immune system attacks the myelin protecting neurons, causing numbness, weakness, shock-like sensations, and abnormal movements.
Behavior Disorders Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Memphis Neurology takes a holistic and integrative approach to treating behavior disorders, serving patients from infancy through adulthood. A combination of genetic and environmental factors may increase risk. Most disorders develop during childhood but may persist into adulthood or emerge later in life.
Involves a pattern of behaviors including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, or all three. Affects children and adults.
Causes difficulties with communication and behavior that may interfere with work, school, and personal relationships.
Includes major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. May also result from Parkinson's disease, dementia, or substance use.
Movement Disorders Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
A movement disorder arises due to a neurological condition, causing the body to move abnormally — either with increased or slowed movements. Our specialists perform comprehensive neurological exams, EMG testing, and brain imaging to accurately diagnose and treat the full spectrum of movement disorders.
Often runs in families. Causes involuntary, rhythmic shaking of the hands, head, or other body parts.
Poor coordination and balance, increased involuntary arm and leg movements, and speech difficulties. Typically caused by underlying conditions such as vitamin deficiency.
Causes muscle contractions resulting in involuntary twisting and turning — neck twisting, speech difficulties, spasms around eyes, jaw, or mouth.
Progressive, genetic movement disorder causing uncontrollable movements (chorea), cognitive impairment, and psychiatric symptoms.
Stroke Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is reduced or blocked, preventing brain cells from receiving necessary oxygen and nutrients. Cell death begins within minutes, potentially causing long-term disability. Memphis Neurology provides both acute management and long-term recovery and prevention care.
The most common type — accounting for about 87% of all strokes. Caused by arterial blockage, typically from blood clots.
Occurs when a brain blood vessel ruptures or leaks — potentially from aneurysms, hypertension, or traumatic injury.
A transient ischemic attack — temporary stroke symptoms without permanent brain damage. Requires emergency evaluation.
Botox Treatment Specialist — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Botox is a widely used medication containing a purified form of botulinum toxin. The injections block nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, providing relief for various neurological and medical conditions well beyond cosmetic use. Memphis Neurology's neurologists are experienced in the therapeutic application of Botox for neurological conditions.
Relaxes involuntary contractions including eye twitching and limb spasticity.
Addresses painful neck muscle contractions that twist or turn the head involuntarily.
May reduce migraine frequency in patients experiencing headache symptoms 15 or more days per month.
Pediatric & Adult Headache Clinic — Germantown, TN & Southaven, MS
Memphis Neurology operates a dedicated headache clinic serving both pediatric and adult patients. Our team — including Dr. Shiva Natarajan, MD and Amanda Humbers, FNP — offers advanced diagnosis using CT scans and EEG alongside a full range of treatment strategies to address even the most complex headache conditions.
Debilitating pain lasting several days, often with visual disturbances (aura) preceding onset. One of the most common headache disorders treated.
Severe burning or stabbing sensations typically near one eye, with potential eye swelling and redness on the affected side.
Dull, aching pain usually on both sides of the head, with sensitivity in the neck and scalp.
