Department of Neurology
Face drooping on one side. Speech coming out slurred. An arm that suddenly won’t lift. Everyone’s heard “act fast” when it comes to stroke, but standing there in the moment, it’s genuinely hard to tell if that’s what’s happening. Dr. Rajat Manchanda heads Neurology at Shri Balaji Aarogyam Hospital in Kurukshetra. Stroke care, epilepsy management, and EEG and EMG testing on a US FDA-approved Natus system all sit under this one department, so a seizure or unexplained muscle weakness gets answered here, in Kurukshetra.

Scope of Services
Stroke Management
Rapid assessment and treatment for stroke symptoms.
Epilepsy Care
Diagnosis and ongoing management of seizure disorders.
Advanced EEG Services
Brain electrical activity testing on a US FDA-approved Natus system.
Advanced EMG Services
Muscle and nerve testing, including nerve conduction studies, on the same Natus platform.
What the Nerves Are Actually Doing
Numbness. Weakness. A dizzy spell that came out of nowhere. Half a dozen different neurological conditions can look identical from where the patient’s sitting. The Natus system here reads what’s happening underneath.
Stroke Management
Minutes decide how much recovery is possible. This department is set up to move on that timeline.
Epilepsy Care
Medication gets adjusted over months and years as a patient's seizure pattern becomes clearer.
EEG (Electroencephalography)
Small sensors on the scalp record the brain's electrical activity, looking for the patterns behind seizures or unexplained blackouts.
EMG (Electromyography)
Measures the electrical signal inside a muscle itself, to work out where weakness or cramping is actually coming from.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCV)
Runs alongside EMG on the same visit. Checks the speed and strength of the signal a nerve is sending.
Natus Diagnostic System
US FDA-approved. The same platform used at major neurology centers internationally.
OVERVIEW
Two Speeds of Neurology
Some cases move fast. A stroke doesn’t leave room for a slow workup, the treatment window is measured in minutes, and every part of this department is built around that clock.
Other cases move slowly, by design. Tingling in the hands for six months. A seizure that happened once and hasn’t happened since, but the fear that it will. These need testing, not a guess based on symptoms alone, EEG for the brain’s electrical patterns, EMG and nerve conduction studies for what’s happening in the muscles and nerves. Dr. Manchanda works both ends of this, the emergency and the slow-burn diagnosis.
Fast Stroke Response
Built around a treatment window measured in minutes, not hours.
Long-Term Epilepsy Management
A plan that changes as the patient's seizure history becomes clearer over time.
US FDA-Approved Testing
EEG and EMG on the Natus system, the standard used internationally.
Nerve Versus Muscle, Told Apart
EMG and nerve conduction studies together pin down exactly where a weakness is coming from.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it's actually a stroke?
Face drooping on one side. Slurred or confused speech. Sudden weakness or numbness down one arm or leg. If any of this happens, it’s an emergency. Get to a hospital immediately.
Does an EEG hurt?
No. Small sensors go on the scalp to pick up electrical activity. There’s no needle, no pain, just time sitting still while it records.
What's the difference between EMG and nerve conduction studies?
EMG looks at electrical activity inside the muscle. Nerve conduction studies check how well and how fast the nerve is sending its signal. Weakness can come from either one, so they’re usually run together to find out which.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy years ago somewhere else. Can I continue care here?
Yes. Epilepsy management is ongoing, medication and monitoring get adjusted as needed over time, and that continuation can happen here without going back to the original hospital.
My hands go numb sometimes. Is that worth seeing a neurologist for?
Worth checking, yes. A pinched nerve, poor circulation, a vitamin deficiency, or a neurological condition can all cause the same symptom, and each needs a different treatment. Testing is how it gets narrowed down.
