At Medsarc Super Specialty Clinics, Gurgaon, led by the expert care of Dr. Sameer Arora (DM Neurology, AIIMS New Delhi), we understand that symptoms like unexplained numbness, tingling, dizziness or loss of balance can feel frightening — and often signal underlying neurological issues. Dr. Arora brings years of training and experience to the table, offering patients in Gurgaon a compassionate, comprehensive pathway from symptom to diagnosis to recovery.
Why numbness and balance problems matter
It’s tempting to dismiss occasional tingling in the feet, a mild unsteady step or brief dizziness as “just one of those things”. But when these symptoms become frequent, persistent or progressive, they may point to a neurological condition that benefits from early diagnosis.
Some common red-flags include:
- A persistent feeling of numbness, tingling or “pins and needles” in one or both limbs
- Unsteady gait, frequent stumbling or difficulty maintaining balance
- Dizziness or vertigo that is new, recurring or associated with other symptoms
- Weakness in a limb, difference in sensation between limbs, or loss of coordination
These signs may stem from a variety of causes. Some examples:
- Peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage outside the brain/spinal cord)
- Vestibular disorders (inner ear or balance‐system problems)
- Spinal cord or nerve-root compression
- Central nervous system conditions (for example, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease)
At Medsarc, our neurology team is equipped to untangle such possibilities using advanced diagnostics as part of Dr. Arora’s oversight.
How the diagnostic journey works at Medsarc
- Comprehensive clinical assessment
- During the first consultation with Dr. Arora or his team, you’ll discuss your full history: onset of symptoms, progression, associated features (pain, weakness, vertigo, etc.).
- A detailed neurological exam will assess your reflexes, muscle strength, gait and coordination.
- Advanced investigations
- Based on the clinical findings, we may recommend tests such as nerve conduction studies (NCS/EMG), EEG / evoked potentials, MRI brain or spine, vestibular testing, blood tests for neuropathy causes. Dr. Arora has experience in NCS/EMG and other neurophysiological tools.
- These tools help us determine whether the issue is peripheral, spinal, vestibular or central in origin.
- Tailored diagnosis & treatment planning
- Once we pinpoint the problem, a personalised treatment plan is created: this may include medications, physical therapy or vestibular rehab, interventional procedures if needed, and lifestyle advice.
- At Medsarc, the neurologist works closely with allied services so your treatment is coordinated and continuous.
Typical conditions we help manage
Here are some of the neurological disorders that may present as numbness or balance difficulty—and are part of our expertise at Medsarc:
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Often seen in diabetes, thyroid disease or nutritional deficiencies; causes tingling, burning, numbness. Early diagnosis and management can prevent progression.
- Spinal Nerve-Root Compression / Myelopathy: Herniated discs, spinal stenosis or injury can compress nerves or the spinal cord leading to numbness, weakness, or gait issues.
- Vestibular Disorders: Inner-ear imbalance, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis and more—lead to dizziness and falls. Specialized vestibular rehab helps.
- Stroke & Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIAs): Sudden onset of numbness, especially on one side of the body, or sudden balance loss may signal a stroke—requiring urgent care.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS) / Other Demyelinating Disorders: Often manifest with sensory changes, numbness, gait imbalance, fatigue. Early detection improves outcomes.
- Parkinson’s Disease & Other Movement Disorders: While primarily movement-related, they often include balance issues and coordination problems.
Why early intervention matters
Time plays a crucial role in neurology. The earlier a condition is identified and treated, the better the chances of preventing irreversible damage, promoting recovery, and maintaining quality of life. At Medsarc, under Dr. Arora’s supervision, our goal is not just to treat symptoms—but to help you regain control of your everyday life.
What you can do now
- Monitor symptoms: Note when numbness or balance issues occur, how long they last, what triggers them (standing up, walking, after sleep, in cold/hot environments).
- Seek neurologist referral: If symptoms are recurring, persistent or worsening, a neurologist assessment is warranted.
- Adopt healthy habits: Maintaining good control of chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension), staying active, and avoiding smoking/alcohol all help nerve and brain health.
- Prepare for your consult: Bring past medical records, list of medications, and note your symptoms clearly—it helps our team arrive at a faster diagnosis.
