Patients experiencing hand tremors, slow movements, muscle stiffness, involuntary movements, walking difficulties, balance problems or other neurological symptoms can consult Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath for neurological assessment and individualized treatment planning.
For patients searching for a neurologist, Parkinson's specialist, tremor specialist or movement disorders doctor in Bangalore, Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath provides specialist neurological care with a focus on evidence-based treatment and long-term management.
Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath provides specialist neurological consultations for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and movement control. Evaluation may involve neurological examination, diagnostic investigations and individualized treatment planning.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that may cause tremors, slow movements, muscle stiffness and balance difficulties. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has specialized fellowship training in Parkinson's disease and movement disorders. Treatment may involve medication, rehabilitation and advanced therapies for suitable patients.
Atypical Parkinsonism includes neurological conditions such as multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal syndrome. Specialist assessment helps distinguish these disorders from Parkinson's disease and guide symptom management.
Tremors are involuntary rhythmic movements that may affect the hands, head or other parts of the body. Neurological assessment helps identify possible causes, including essential tremor, Parkinson's disease and medication-related conditions.
Essential tremor commonly causes shaking during movement or while holding a position. Treatment depends on symptom severity and may include medication, adaptive strategies and advanced therapies in selected cases.
Dystonia causes involuntary muscle contractions that can produce twisting movements or abnormal postures. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has expertise in managing cervical dystonia, writer's cramp and other forms of dystonia through appropriate medical and procedural treatments.
Botulinum toxin injections can help reduce excessive muscle activity in selected movement disorders, including cervical dystonia, blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath lists botulinum toxin treatment among her areas of clinical expertise.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses implanted electrodes to deliver electrical stimulation to targeted brain regions. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has expertise in DBS programming and neurological follow-up for suitable patients with movement disorders.
Gait disorders may cause difficulty walking, unsteadiness, slow movement or frequent falls. Neurological evaluation helps identify whether symptoms are related to Parkinsonism, cerebellar disorders, neuropathy or other conditions.
Movement disorders include conditions causing abnormal movements, tremors, stiffness, involuntary contractions or impaired coordination. Specialist evaluation helps identify the underlying neurological condition and guide treatment.
Functional movement disorders cause genuine movement symptoms associated with changes in nervous system functioning rather than structural neurological damage. Treatment may include a clear diagnosis, specialist physiotherapy and multidisciplinary care.
Dyskinesia refers to involuntary movements that can occur in Parkinson's disease, including as a complication of certain medications. Management may involve reviewing medication schedules and considering advanced treatment options.
Ataxia affects coordination, balance and walking. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has expertise in evaluating spinocerebellar ataxia and other neurological conditions causing impaired coordination.
Chorea involves irregular involuntary movements, while myoclonus causes sudden brief muscle jerks. Assessment includes identifying neurological, genetic, metabolic or medication-related causes and selecting appropriate treatment.
Some neurological and movement disorders have an inherited genetic component. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has additional training in clinical genetics and provides evaluation of selected conditions where genetic testing may assist diagnosis.
Neurogenetic counselling helps patients and families understand the possible role of inherited genetic changes in neurological disorders. Counselling may include discussions about appropriate tests, result interpretation and implications for family members.
Migraine is a neurological headache disorder that may cause moderate to severe headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Treatment may include acute headache medication, preventive therapies and management of individual triggers.
Epilepsy involves recurrent unprovoked seizures. Neurological evaluation may include EEG testing, brain imaging and review of seizure history. Treatment is selected according to the seizure type and underlying cause.
Stroke follow-up may involve neurological assessment, prevention of recurrent stroke, medication review and rehabilitation planning. Sudden weakness, facial drooping or speech difficulty requires immediate emergency medical attention.
Memory disorders may affect thinking, daily functioning and behaviour. Evaluation may include cognitive assessment, medical history, neurological examination and selected laboratory or imaging investigations.
Peripheral neuropathy may cause tingling, numbness, burning pain and weakness in the hands or feet. Management focuses on identifying the underlying cause, controlling symptoms and preventing complications.
Autonomic nervous system disorders can affect blood pressure regulation, sweating, digestion and other involuntary body functions. Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath has additional training in autonomic disorders and related neurological assessment.

Quick answers to common questions about Dr. Sneha Dayanand Kamath
Parkinson's disease treatment is individualized according to symptoms, age and disease progression. Medication such as levodopa may help control movement symptoms, while physiotherapy, exercise and rehabilitation can support daily functioning. Selected patients may benefit from advanced therapies, including deep brain stimulation.
Many patients experience improvement in Parkinson's tremors with appropriate medication. Exercise and rehabilitation can also help maintain movement and balance. Deep brain stimulation may be considered when troublesome symptoms remain despite optimized medical treatment.
Deep Brain Stimulation involves surgically implanted electrodes that deliver controlled electrical signals to selected brain regions. It may benefit appropriately selected patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or dystonia. Eligibility depends on neurological assessment and the likely benefits and risks.
Botulinum toxin injections can reduce abnormal muscle activity in certain forms of dystonia, including cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. Benefits are temporary, and injections may need to be repeated at suitable intervals.
Essential tremor commonly occurs when using the hands or holding a position, while Parkinson's disease often causes tremor at rest along with slow movements and stiffness. These patterns are not absolute, so neurological examination is important for an accurate diagnosis.
