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).

"Children and adults with refractory seizures, multiple drug resistances and special needs, such as those with cerebral palsy, mental retardation and developmental delays are good candidates for this treatment," said Anthony G. Giatras, MD, of SGNA. "Many of my patients who are eligible for this procedure have experienced significant reductions in their normal number of seizures after the implantation of the device."

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.
