Neurological Disorders Treatment in Pune – Expert Care for Brain and Nervous System Conditions
Your nervous system controls everything. Every thought, movement, sensation, breath. When something goes wrong with your brain, spinal cord, or nerves, the effects ripple through your entire life.
Neurological disorders affect millions of people. Some develop suddenly—a stroke, a seizure. Others creep in slowly—memory fading, movements becoming harder, pain that won’t go away.
Dr. Sayali Kalbhor Patil specialises in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of neurological disorders in Pune. With over 12 years of experience, she provides expert care that combines medical expertise with a genuine understanding of how these conditions affect your daily life.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders
Multiple Sclerosis – The immune system attacks the protective covering of nerves. Causes vision problems, weakness, numbness, and balance issues. Modern treatments dramatically improve outcomes.
Bell’s Palsy – Sudden facial paralysis from nerve inflammation. Most people recover with proper treatment.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome – A rare condition where the immune system attacks the peripheral nerves. Causes rapid-onset weakness that can become severe.
Peripheral Neuropathy – Damage to peripheral nerves causing pain, numbness, and weakness in hands and feet.
Seizure Disorders
- Epilepsy – Recurrent seizures from abnormal brain electrical activity. Many types exist. Medication controls seizures for most people. Dr. Sayali helps find the right treatment combination.

Balance and Vertigo Disorders
- BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) – Most common cause of vertigo. Spinning sensations triggered by head movements. Dr. Sayali specialises in treatment.
- Vestibular Neuritis – Inner ear inflammation causing severe vertigo, nausea, and balance problems.
- Meniere’s Disease – Inner ear disorder causing vertigo episodes, hearing loss, and tinnitus.
Infections
- Meningitis – Inflammation of membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
- Encephalitis – Brain inflammation from infections or autoimmune causes. Causes fever, confusion, seizures.
- Brain Abscess – Pockets of infection in brain tissue requiring antibiotics and sometimes surgery.
Structural Disorders
- Brain Tumours – Abnormal growths inthe brain. It can be cancerous or benign. Treatment depends on the type and location.
- Spinal Cord Injury – Damage to the spinal cord from trauma. Affects movement and sensation below the injury level.
- Cervical Spondylosis – Age-related wear and tear on neck vertebrae and discs. Causes neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve compression.
- Hydrocephalus – Buildup of fluid in the brain. Causes pressure, headaches, and cognitive problems.
Other Neurological Conditions
