Khammam has beautiful scenery and culture, and is one of the important places in the state of Telangana. The people of Khammam lead a social and active lifestyle. However, individuals with Parkinson's Disease and those with Essential tremors, unlike many citizens, have to face numerous challenges on a daily basis. Daily tasks such as eating, using a pen, or having water can become very difficult for people suffering from tremors.
A Modern, Non-Surgical Option – MRgFUS
In the past, people whose tremors were unhelped by medicine were usually told to see a surgeon. These types of surgeries did help, but the processes of cutting the body, heavy anaesthesia, and extended recovery times meant that most patients were reluctant to go along with the idea.
In today's medicine, there is a non-invasive procedure called MRgFUS Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound offered at KIMS Hospitals in Hyderabad, KIMS Neurosciences, that is much safer than older alternatives.
The procedure is MRgFUS. MRgFUS is a procedure in which ultrasound waves are targeted and 'aimed' at a specific area on a person's brain where tremors occur, using MRI imaging. There are no invasive processes like cuts or general anaesthesia during the process, and patients are also fully conscious throughout. During the treatment, many patients with MRgFUS have reported a significant reduction in tremors, and most of these patients are able to zero in on the problem.
There are trains from Khammam, Kothagudem, Sathupalli, Wyra, etc, and Hyderabad through trains and buses. And, though they are not in the city, KIMS Neurosciences provides Neurologist consultations via video-link and email to those who wish to consult a Neurologist.
The freedom this treatment has given people, as you can enjoy a quiet cup of tea and return to cherished hobbies, not to forget proudly associating with family without the rude interruption of tremors, has been life-changing. It is not the symptoms that are important, but the return of control to everyday life.
Thanks to KIMS Neurosciences, people living in Khammam and nearby areas can now avail themselves of modern tremor treatment in nearby locations. The medical practitioners at KIMS Neurosciences are adopting and integrating the latest technology with gentle treatment to help patients regain their confidence, independence, and balance.
Patients with Parkinson's disease and Essential Tremor, or their caregivers, can schedule an online consultation and take the first step towards achieving a better tomorrow.
