Department of Neurology
VishwaRaj Hospital’s Centre for Neurosciences provides comprehensive evaluation and therapeutic services to a wide range of neurological conditions like Neurotrauma, Stroke, Brain Haemorrhage, Backache, Spinal Disorders, Neuro-Oncology, Epilepsy, and other Neurological ailments. Under our Neuro Critical Care Program, we manage patients with life threatening neurological and neurosurgical critical illnesses.
Since VishwaRaj Hospital is located on the highway, we tend to receive a lot of road traffic accident cases with involvement of the brain and the nervous system. Keeping this in mind, we have ensured a robust Neurosciences department at VishwaRaj Hospital. This department, with its two branches, Neurosurgery and Neurology are highly competent to diagnose, operate, treat, and care for all patients requiring urgent and excellent care, making VishwaRaj Hospital as one of the best Neurosurgery Hospital in Pune. Cerebral (brain) stroke patients are immediately treated here (within the “Golden hour” time period) ensuring a good prognosis and rapid postoperative recovery. At Vishwaraj Hospital, a team of highly qualified doctors, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, and oncologists, work together to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with brain tumors. The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and equipment for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of brain tumors.
Treatment and Services
There are various disorders of brain and spine that need urgent treatment or care. Some of the common disorders are:
– A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in your brain. Brain tumors can be of many types. Some of these tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some are cancerous (malignant). A brain tumor can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer from other parts of the body can spread to your brain (called secondary brain tumors).
Spine is animportant part of the central nervous system of the body. Itcan have numerous disorders like Degenerative Intervertebral disc, Ligament Strain, Herniated disc, Spinal Stenosis and Bone spurs, Scoliosis or Spinal instability, Spinal infections, or Spinal tumors.
It is a serious medical condition in which cerebral arteries are blocked or damaged causing injury to the brain. A stroke can be anticipated in a patient by symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty in speaking, confusion, severe headache, numbness, etc. A stroke needs urgent care by expert neurologists at Stroke hospital in order to prevent serious consequences.
Headache is one of the most common types of health problem, related to a neurological disorder. Due to current lifestyle, stress has become a major cause of headache. There are various kinds of headaches like Tension headaches, Migraines, and Cluster headaches. If you experience a headache very rarely, than it is okay but if you experience a headache repeatedly, then you should visit a doctor at the earliest in a Neurology Hospital. Recurring headaches can indicate a serious underlying condition.
It is a disorder of the nervous system that affects the movement of the body. Parkinson’s Disease leads to constipation, impaired sense of smell, tremors, speech changes, muscle stiffness, etc. Your doctor may diagnose Parkinson’s Disease with the help of particular examination and tests.. Once diagnosed, it is often treated or managed by medications.
It is a sudden disturbance in the electrical activities of the brain that results in abnormal body part movements and loss of consciousness. The seizures can occur just once or may appear repeatedly.. Repeated incidence or seizures is called epilepsy. It is important to see a doctor just after you experience the first seizure. Early detection and treatment can prevent loss of memory or damage in the brain. Epilepsy can occur due to a genetic disorder or because of some injury caused by stroke or trauma. It is mostly treated by medications and some dietary changes whereas in other cases surgery may be required

Department Of Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement
All About Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement
Due to some severe injuries or with increasing age, a lot of people live with joint pain. Joint pain can put a full stop in our daily activities. It can restrict us from doing many regular things like bending, sitting, walking, etc.
Orthopaedics is the branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all the diseases and disorders related to the musculoskeletal system. This musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The Department of Orthopaedics aims to offer painless and functional recovery to all the patients. Our orthopaedics surgeons are experts that ensure every patient receives world-class care.
This department treats all kinds of bone deformities, infections, tumors, fractures, etc. It also involves the treatment of arthritis, joint pain, joint swelling, joint dislocation etc. So far, we have done 400+ Total Joints surgeries at VishwaRaj Hospital. Our expert surgeons have the experience of over 7000 surgeries that too with <1% Infection rate.
Orthopaedics Problems
- 1. Bone problems - The bone problems include bone deformities (a bone of abnormal size), bone infections (inflammation due to infection in a bone) and bone tumours (mass of abnormal cells growth). All these bone problems are caused by different reasons and may require different treatment based on the exact problem.
- 2. Fractures and its problems - A fracture is a condition in which a bone breaks partially or completely due to overuse, trauma or the weakening of the bone tissues. Even after treating fractures, sometimes other problems occur like Nonunions, in which a fracture fails to heal, and Malunions, in which fracture heals in the wrong way.
- 3. Spinal deformities - Spinal deformity is a condition in which there is an abnormality in the curve or the alignment of the spine. It can be caused by the complications due to last surgeries or from normal wear and tear overages.
- 4. Arthritis - It is a common condition where there is inflammation and tenderness in a joint causing pain and discomfort. There are different kinds of arthritis-like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic arthritis. Different cases need different treatments like medications, physiotherapy or surgery in some cases.
- 5. Joint Dislocation - It is an injury in the joint that causes immobilization and deformity in the joint. This injury or dislocation of the joint forces that particular joint to force out from its normal or original position. This mostly happens after a fall, accident or sports injury.
