Botulinum Toxin Injections
Southern Neurology offers specialised botulinum toxin treatments for a range of neurological conditions, delivered with precision and care. Our experienced team uses advanced techniques to ensure safe, effective outcomes, integrated within our comprehensive approach to neurological management.
Conditions that we treat (but not limited to) include:
Botulinum toxin injections are used to manage a range of neurological conditions, including migraine, hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm, cervical and other dystonias such as writer’s cramp, tremor, and trigeminal neuralgia. They are also effective in treating limb spasticity from stroke or cerebral palsy, as well as conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), sialorrhea (excessive salivation), and bruxism.

Neuropsychology Services
Neuropsychology is a specialised area of psychology which focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions which impact the brain. As neuropsychologists, a key area of practice involves cognitive assessments.
Cognitive Assessment
Generally, a cognitive assessment ranges from 1-3 hours and involves testing aspects of brain function including memory, language, attention, thinking, IQ and executive skills. Before the assessment, there is usually a 1 hour initial consultation where we collect relevant information such as medical history and background information. After the assessment, there is an opportunity to discuss test results as well as to provide recommendations and next steps.

Physiotherapy for Headaches and Migraine
It is now commonly understood that headaches and migraines are caused by a sensitised nervous system, specifically hypersensitivity of the brainstem region. As brainstem sensitisation reaches a certain threshold it will bring on a headache or migraine episode.
Specialised Headache Physiotherapy
While there are many factors that can increase this sensitivity, the upper neck is often a major contributor. Rob Wallis is an experienced physiotherapist who specialises in The Watson Headache Approach which is used to identify a problem with the upper neck and then treat this problem to decrease brainstem sensitivity and can complement pharmacological approaches to headache and migraine management.
