A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Immediate treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes. Dr. Praveen M P provides specialized care for stroke diagnosis, emergency management, and rehabilitation, focusing on timely intervention and comprehensive neuro care.
There are two main types of strokes: ischemic stroke (caused by a blocked artery) and hemorrhagic stroke (caused by bleeding in the brain). A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a mini-stroke, is also a serious warning sign of future stroke risk. Dr. Praveen conducts a detailed neurological assessment, supported by imaging tests like CT scan, MRI, carotid ultrasound, and blood investigations for accurate diagnosis.
Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the stroke and may include clot-busting medications (thrombolytics), blood thinners, surgical interventions, and rehabilitation therapies. Dr. Praveen ensures a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists for holistic recovery and long-term stroke management.
Medical counselling is a key element in stroke care, helping patients and families understand the condition, treatment options, and rehabilitation process. Dr. Praveen M P offers personalized counselling on recognizing early stroke symptoms using the FAST approach (Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency), which is critical for timely intervention.
Counselling provides emotional support and clear guidance on lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and risk factor control, including managing high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, and smoking cessation. Dr. Praveen emphasizes regular follow-up care and continuous monitoring to prevent recurrent strokes and ensure steady recovery.
Early detection, quick treatment, and dedicated rehabilitation are crucial to improving survival rates and functional recovery after a stroke. Dr. Praveen M P stresses the importance of seeking immediate medical attention at the first sign of stroke to minimize brain damage and disability.
With a patient-centered approach, Dr. Praveen collaborates with neuro specialists, physiotherapists, and psychologists to offer comprehensive care from the acute phase through rehabilitation, focusing on regaining mobility, speech, and independence.
Understanding the emotional and physical challenges faced by stroke survivors, Dr. Praveen M P ensures compassionate care, education, and motivation to help patients and their families navigate recovery with confidence.
