Headaches, spinning rooms and tingling feet — sorted properly.
Dr Bakshi Clinic evaluates and manages migraine, tension headache, vertigo, and diabetic neuropathy in Bhopal at physician level — with warning-sign screening at every visit and prompt neurologist referral for cases that need imaging, specialised treatment or urgent hospital attention.
Most headaches are benign. The job is proving yours is.
Nine headaches in ten are migraine or tension-type — miserable, but manageable. The physician's first duty is screening for the tenth kind: the thunderclap onset, the headache with fever and stiff neck, the one that wakes you at dawn with vomiting, the new headache after fifty, or weakness and vision change alongside. Those go for urgent imaging and specialist neurologist care, same day.
Once the dangerous causes are excluded, the real work begins — because most migraine sufferers in Bhopal have never had actual migraine treatment. They have a drawer of painkillers and a decade of endurance. Proper care looks different: triggers mapped, an abortive medicine that works taken early, and for frequent attacks, preventive treatment that cuts the monthly count dramatically. Migraine is one of medicine's most treatable miseries; it just needs treating.
We screen for secondary high-stakes cranial pathology before prescribing symptomatic relief:
Peak intensity reached within 60 seconds ('worst headache of life'). Needs emergency CT/CTA.
Infectious meningeal signs requiring urgent CSF analysis and hospital admission.
Suggestive of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) or structural mass lesion.
Screening for temporal arteritis, secondary neoplastic causes, or vascular pathology.
Visual loss, limb weakness, or speech slurring indicating acute vascular compromise.
Moving patients away from daily NSAID overuse toward scientifically mapped neuro-prophylaxis:
Systematic identification of dietary, circadian, screen-time, stress, and hormonal triggers.
Replacing non-specific OTC painkillers with targeted triptans and anti-emetics taken at the earliest onset.
For frequent attacks (>3/month): daily preventive therapy (beta-blockers, flunarizine, neuromodulators) to cut attack rates by 70%+.
Vertigo: the spinning that has a fix
True vertigo — the room spinning around you, sharply worse with head movement — most commonly originates in the inner ear. The commonest variety (BPPV, loose otoconia crystals in the balance canals) responds to physical positioning manoeuvres performed right in a clinic chair, often resolving within a single visit.
Other causes — vestibular neuritis, migraine-linked vertigo, blood pressure dips, and medication effects in elders — each have their own specific management. What vertigo almost never deserves is what it usually gets: a permanent prescription of vertigo-suppressant tablets that delay the brain's own natural compensation. We diagnose the exact type first; the treatment follows from it.
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
85%+ single-session resolutionDislodged calcium carbonate crystals in the semi-circular canals. Corrected via physical particle-repositioning manoeuvres (Epley) in a single clinic chair session.
Vestibular Neuritis & Labyrinthitis
Rehabilitation-focusedPost-viral inflammation of the vestibulocochlear nerve. Managed with short-term tapering therapy and active vestibular rehabilitation exercises.
Vestibular Migraine & Vascular Dips
Etiology-directedEpisodic imbalance tied to migraine aura or orthostatic blood pressure drops in geriatric patients, treated by addressing the metabolic/cardiac trigger.
The Vertigo Suppressant Trap: Continuous unguided intake of sedative anti-vertigo pills stops the brain from recalibrating its vestibular center. Physical repositioning and targeted exercises achieve permanent relief.
Tingling, burning, numb feet — usually the sugar talking
Diabetic neuropathy is Bhopal's commonest nerve problem: burning soles at night, numbness that creeps up sock-wise, and the insidious loss of sensation that lets small foot wounds go unnoticed.
Standard pain relievers (NSAIDs) do not work on neuropathic nerve firing. We manage peripheral neuropathy across two simultaneous tracks:
Tight diabetes regulation to prevent micro-arterial sorbitol accumulation and slow progressive axonal nerve loss.
Diabetes Management ProgrammeTargeted, evidence-based neuromodulators (pregabalin/duloxetine) specifically calming the nocturnal burning fire.
Evidence-based nerve reliefThe Foot-Care Sermon: Every neuropathy patient receives a routine sensory inspection, because numb feet plus unnoticed blisters is how our wound-care clinic gets its saddest chronic ulcer cases.
If blood sugar is completely normal, we systematically screen for reversible underlying metabolic and toxic etiologies:
- 1. Vitamin B12 Deficiency: High prevalence in vegetarian diets, rapidly reversible with therapeutic supplementation.
- 2. Thyroid Dysfunction: Hypothyroidism slowing peripheral nerve conduction.
- 3. Medication & Toxic Effects: Chemotherapy, anti-tubercular drugs, or alcohol-induced axonal loss.
Stroke: the minutes matter more than anything on this page
Sudden weakness of face, arm or leg — especially one-sided — sudden slurred speech, sudden vision loss, sudden worst-ever headache: this is a stroke until proven otherwise, and it is a race.
Do not wait for the evening OPD, do not try home remedies, do not sleep on it. Go to a hospital with CT and stroke care immediately; clot-busting treatment works only within the first hours.
Face Drooping
One side of the face sags or goes numb. Smile is uneven.
Arm Weakness
One arm drifts downward when both arms are raised.
Speech Difficulty
Slurred speech, inability to articulate or comprehend words.
Time to Emergency
Immediate transport to CT-equipped hospital. Every minute saves 1.9M neurons.
After the Hospital: Recovery & Neuro-Rehabilitation
Afterwards — for the rehabilitation, secondary risk-factor control, bedside nursing, and home care that stroke recovery demands — our physiotherapy and medical home services take the baton, and that is where this clinic serves stroke families best.
Frequently asked questions
Doctor-curated answers regarding dangerous headache red-flags, migraine prevention, BPPV repositioning cures, burning feet neuropathy, and neurologist referral criteria.
Seek urgent care for: sudden worst-ever headache (thunderclap), headache with fever and stiff neck, with weakness or speech/vision change, after head injury, or a new pattern after age fifty. Outside these, most headaches are migraine or tension-type — treatable at the clinic.
