Stroke Diagnosis and Treatment by Top Neurologists in Arizona

Have you or a loved one experienced symptoms that might indicate a stroke? At Neurology Associates Neuroscience Center in Arizona, we've built our reputation on providing swift, precise stroke diagnosis and treatment, backed by years of specialized neurological expertise. 


Our team of dedicated neurologists understands that each stroke patient faces unique challenges and requires personalized care that evolves throughout their recovery journey.

Types of Stroke

Our neurologists are experienced in treating all types of stroke:

Ischemic Stroke occurs when blood vessels to the brain become blocked, typically by blood clots. This is the most common type, accounting for about 87% of all strokes.

Hemorrhagic Stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures or leaks. While less common, these strokes can be particularly severe.

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), often called a "mini-stroke," produces stroke-like symptoms that resolve within 24 hours. Though temporary, TIAs serve as serious warning signs requiring immediate medical attention.

Symptoms of Stroke

Time is critical when someone experiences a stroke. Remember to act FAST when these symptoms show:

  • F – Face drooping

  • A – Arm weakness

  • S – Speech difficulty

  • T – Time to call 911

Additional symptoms may include:

  • Severe headache with no known cause

  • Confusion or trouble understanding speech

  • Difficulty walking or loss of coordination

  • Numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body

Tools for Assessing Stroke Damage

At Neurology Associates, our experienced neurologists conduct comprehensive evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 

This advanced imaging technology uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of your brain tissue and blood vessels. MRI can identify areas affected by stroke and help determine the type of stroke you've experienced. This non-invasive procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and provides our neurologists with crucial information for developing your treatment plan.

Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) 

DSA is a specialized X-ray technology that provides detailed images of blood vessels in your brain. During this procedure, a contrast dye is injected into your blood vessels while X-ray images are taken in rapid succession. This allows our specialists to see exactly where blood flow might be blocked or where vessels might be damaged, helping guide precise treatment decisions.

Videonystagmography (VENG) 

VENG testing evaluates your balance system through a series of specialized eye movement tests. Using infrared goggles, this test records your eye movements while performing various head positions and tracking moving objects. The results help our neurologists understand how stroke may have affected your balance system and inner ear function.

Blood Tests 

Comprehensive blood testing helps identify underlying conditions that may have contributed to your stroke risk. These tests check for various factors, including cholesterol levels, blood sugar, clotting disorders, and inflammatory markers. Results guide both immediate treatment decisions and long-term prevention strategies.
