Doctors for Vertebral Artery Dissection Treatment in Nellore

Vertebral artery dissection is a tear in one of the arteries in the neck that carries blood to the brain. When the inner layer of the artery splits, blood can get trapped and form a clot, which may reduce blood flow or send a clot to the brain. It can cause sudden neck pain, headache, dizziness, or even a stroke.

People with vertebral artery dissection may notice symptoms such as dizziness, ataxia and occipital headache. A medical evaluation can help determine the nature and severity of the condition and whether treatment or ongoing monitoring is needed.

At Medicover Hospitals in Nellore, our neurologists evaluate patients with vertebral artery dissection and recommend care according to their clinical findings, medical history, and individual health requirements. Relevant diagnostic tests may be used when necessary to support treatment decisions.

Our medical team supports patients throughout their care, from initial assessment and treatment to follow-up and long-term management when required, with a focus on controlling symptoms and maintaining overall health.
