Grant Regional Community Clinic is excited to welcome Dr. Debasish Bhattacharyya who specializes in Neurology and Interventional Pain Management.
Comprehensive Neurology/Neuroscience and Spine Care (CNS)
Dr. Bhattacharyya treats conditions including:
• Disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system
• Spine-related pain (back or neck pain)
• Headaches/migraines
• Stoke
• Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
• Seizures/epilepsy
• Multiple sclerosis
• Dementia
• Parkinson's Disease
• Neuropathy
• Sleep disorders
• Back and neck pain
• Pain from trauma
• Joint pain
• Sports-related injuries
Neurology focuses on the application of neuroscience in the treatment of illness affecting the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, as well as neuromuscular diseases including but not limited to: Migraine and other headache syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Neurocognitive Disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, Peripheral neuropathy, Myasthenia Gravis.
The emphasis is on accurate diagnosis and the development of a patient centered treatment that can help patients work towards treating these disorders and maintaining functional status. Diagnostic imaging can include advanced neuroimaging such as MRI's, laboratory evaluation, and neurodiagnostics including EMG and EEG. Treatments includes coordination with all therapy and rehabilitation services, disease specific medication management, and treatment options that may include Botox for migraines, spasticity or dystonia.
Dr. Bhattacharyya believes the best way to treat the issue is to get to know each patient and try to determine the source and/or cause. He works closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan and provides an integrated approach to treating the condition and/or reducing or eliminating chronic pain. This plan could include:
• Interventional procedures
• Non-opioid medication management
• Referrals to physical therapy, occupational therapy
• Lifestyle modifications (such as diet, exercise, and smoking cessation)
• Complementary medicine, referrals to therapeutic health services including massage
Spine Care focuses the treatment of neurological and pain disorder arising from disorders of the spine. Common conditions treated include:
Lumbar, Cervical and Thoracic Radiculopathy
Lumbar, cervical and Thoracic Facet Arthropathy
Spinal stenosis
As a neurologist and interventional pain specialist, Dr. Bhattacharyya also diagnoses and manages conditions that overlap in both areas of neurology and pain management including: Complex regional pain syndrome, painful peripheral neuropathy, cervical dystonia, knee arthritis, and non-migraine head and neck pain such as cluster headaches and cervicogenic headaches.
The emphasis is again on accurate diagnosis and patient centered treatment that utilizes a multi-modal treatment plan focusing on therapy and rehab services, interventional pain procedures including but not limited to spinal injections and coordination with spine surgeons/neurosurgeons
Dr. Bhattacharyya provides non-operative spine care.
Neurological and pain procedures performed in Lancaster are:
Neurology: Botox for migraines, spasticity related to stroke or multiple sclerosis, electromyogram/nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCS), electroencephalogram (EEG)
