Neurologists Lilydale

Rutland Specialist Clinic is a neurology clinic with a specialist team of highly qualified neurologists offering neurological treatment of headaches, migraines, epilepsy, parkinsonism, dementia care, stroke and movement disorders. Our clinic is located in Lilydale, and we offer consultation and assessment for all of Melbourne ,including our local areas of Coldstream, Chirnside Park, Mooroolbark and Mount Evelyn.

In addition to consultations and specialist care, we also provide advanced diagnostic services such as nerve conduction study and electromyography in Lilydale, which help assess nerve and muscle function for conditions that may be causing symptoms like numbness, tingling or weakness. These tests are essential tools in diagnosing a wide range of neurological and neuromuscular disorders.

Botulinum Injections for Chronic Migraines Available

Suffer from intense and incredibly painful migraines? In 2010, OnabotulinumtoxinA, or Botox was approved to treat adults with a history of migraines and headaches ( who endure them at least 15 or more days of each month).

At Rutland Specialist Clinic, our in-house neurologist specialist, Dr Cynthia Chen, has years of experience treating patients who suffer from this crippling disorder. Dr Chen is an experienced neurologist servicing Lilydale, Yarra Valley and the greater Melbourne Area.

How Botox injections work to treat migraines

After receiving a referral from your general practitioner and a sign off that you do suffer from chronic migraines or headaches, botox treatment is possible to relieve your symptoms. In our office we will carefully administer botox around your head and neck.

Studies suggest that Botulinum toxins have been shown to reduce and inhibit pain by reducing the expression of pain pathways involving nerve cells in the trigeminovascular system, the sensory pathway which plays a key role in the headache phase before migraine onset.

The number of treatments depends on the severity of your condition but is possible 30-40 shorts in all will be required to fully treat and eliminate the pain. Patients often start seeing results within 2 to 3 weeks after their first treatment, but this can vary depending on how long you’ve been experiencing migraines and how agonising the initial pain is before botox.

In addition to botulinum injections, Rutland Specialist offer neurological consultations, including CT, MRI, PT and SPECT scans, medical specialist consultations, a professional network and patient care, as well as TAC and Work Cover cases.
