About Our Neuro & Spine Clinic

A persistent headache that doesn't respond to usual remedies. Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet. Back pain radiating down your leg. These are common reasons people seek help at our Neuro & Spine Clinic in Kilpauk, Chennai. We see patients with conditions like migraine, sciatica (nerve pain in the leg), cervical spondylosis (neck arthritis), and carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist nerve compression). Your first consultation involves a detailed discussion about your symptoms and medical history. We perform a thorough physical and neurological examination. We might recommend specific tests like an MRI scan of your brain or spine, or nerve conduction studies (NCS) to understand your condition better. Our goal is to accurately diagnose your issue and explain your options clearly, focusing on what matters most for your comfort and everyday life.

At THANC Hospital, your care is always led by senior consultant neurologists and spine specialists. You will not see trainees operating independently. We believe in open communication and clear information. You will receive a transparent written estimate before any diagnostic test or procedure is booked. This means no hidden costs or unexpected charges. If your nerve pain is linked to a head and neck issue, our ENT and oncology teams are conveniently located in the same building. This allows for seamless, same-day collaboration and a truly multidisciplinary view of your problem. We discuss all treatment options, including non-surgical approaches like physiotherapy or medication management. We are honest about when surgery or a procedure is not the most appropriate choice for your condition. If your problem requires immediate emergency neurosurgical intervention, we will guide you to the appropriate critical care services without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find expert neuro and spine care in Chennai?
THANC Hospital in Kilpauk offers senior-led Neuro & Spine care for conditions like migraine, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Your consultation includes a detailed history, physical exam, and discussion of diagnostic tests like MRI or NCS. We focus on clear explanations and transparent written estimates for all services. Our approach includes both non-surgical options like physiotherapy and medication, and guidance for surgical interventions when appropriate. We collaborate with other specialities like ENT if your condition has related issues. Our goal is to improve your comfort and everyday life with honest, evidence-based care.
What happens during a first consultation at the Neuro & Spine Clinic?
During your first visit, our senior consultant will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments. We perform a thorough physical and neurological examination to understand your condition. Depending on the findings, we may recommend specific diagnostic tests such as an MRI, CT scan, or nerve conduction studies. We explain the purpose of these tests and what to expect. You will receive a clear, written estimate for any recommended tests or procedures before they are booked. Our aim is to provide an accurate diagnosis and discuss all your treatment options.
Will I need surgery for my back or neck pain?
Not necessarily. Many back and neck pain conditions can improve with non-surgical treatments. These often include physiotherapy, medication, lifestyle adjustments, or specific injections. Surgery is usually considered when conservative treatments have not helped, or if there are signs of severe nerve compression or instability. Our specialists will discuss all suitable options with you, explaining the benefits and risks of each. We are honest about when surgery is the most appropriate path and when it is not.
Are diagnostic tests like MRI and NCS covered by my insurance?
Many insurance providers cover diagnostic tests such as MRI and nerve conduction studies, especially when they are medically necessary for diagnosis. It is always best to check with your specific insurance provider about your policy's coverage details and any pre-authorisation requirements. Our team can help you with the necessary documentation and provide transparent written estimates for all tests. This helps you understand the costs involved upfront and plan accordingly.
When should I see a neuro and spine specialist instead of my family doctor?
You should consider seeing a specialist if your symptoms are persistent, worsening, or significantly affecting your daily life. This includes chronic headaches, numbness or weakness that doesn't go away, severe back or neck pain, or problems with balance and coordination. If your family doctor has already initiated treatment without significant improvement, or if they suspect a more complex neurological or spinal condition, a specialist referral is appropriate. Early evaluation can often lead to more effective management.
Will THANC give me a written estimate for my treatment?
Yes, absolutely. At THANC Hospital, we believe in complete transparency regarding costs. You will always receive a clear, written estimate for any recommended diagnostic tests, procedures, or treatments before they are scheduled. This estimate will detail all anticipated charges, so there are no surprises. Our rates are consistently below prevailing Chennai market rates, reflecting our commitment to accessible, high-quality care. We want you to feel comfortable and informed about every aspect of your care, including the financial aspects.
What if my problem is an emergency, like a sudden stroke?
Our Neuro & Spine Clinic focuses on elective consultations and planned treatments. For acute emergencies like a sudden stroke, severe head injury, or sudden paralysis, you should seek immediate emergency medical attention. While THANC Hospital has 24/7 emergency support and an ICU, our primary neuro and spine services are for scheduled appointments. If you arrive with an acute emergency, our team will stabilise you and guide you to the most appropriate emergency neurosurgical or critical care facility without delay.
