Seizure and Epilepsy Management
Seizures are sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, and they can vary widely in type, frequency, and severity. Epilepsy is a chronic condition defined by recurrent seizures, and it can significantly affect daily routines, safety, and independence. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, our focus is on helping patients manage these conditions with clarity, confidence, and long-term support.
Our Approach to Care
Every patient’s experience with seizures is unique. That’s why we take the time to thoroughly evaluate symptoms, review medical history, and use advanced diagnostic tools. Our goal is to create an individualized plan that reduces seizure frequency, improves safety, and enhances overall quality of life.
Advanced Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective seizure and epilepsy management. We use:
-
Electroencephalograms (EEG): to record brainwave activity and detect abnormalities.
-
Brain imaging: such as MRI or CT scans to identify structural or functional issues.
-
Clinical evaluations: including neurological exams and detailed history to pinpoint seizure type and origin.
These tools help us better understand the cause and guide a more precise treatment plan.
Personalized Treatment Options
Based on diagnostic results, we develop tailored care plans that may include:
-
Medication management to control or reduce seizure activity.
-
Lifestyle adjustments such as sleep, nutrition, and stress management to minimize triggers.
-
Patient and family education to promote safety and preparedness.
-
Specialist coordination for patients with refractory (hard-to-control) epilepsy who may need additional interventions.
Supporting Your Quality of Life
Managing epilepsy isn’t just about controlling seizures—it’s also about restoring independence, stability, and peace of mind. We are committed to providing the tools, resources, and support patients need to live safely and confidently with seizure disorders.
