New Hope for Seizure Patients

Many people with seizures are not helped by medicine alone. Sometimes treatments other than medication must be added to reduce the severity and number of seizures; VNS (vagus nerve stimulator) Therapy is one of the solutions - and it is available in Tifton, Georgia, through South Georgia Neurological Associates, P.C. (SGNA).

BOTOX Makes a Case
for Treatment of Migraines

While Botox may be the known as the wrinkle-reducing panacea for baby-boomers, it’s real medicinal value may lie in its ability to bring relief to people who suffer from major neurological problems. From low back pain, facial spasms, migraines and chronic tension headaches to helping with muscle spasticity associated with stroke, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, Botox can bring long awaited - albeit, temporary - relief.
