Spinal Tap

spinal tap, also known as a lumbar puncture, is a medical procedure used to diagnose a variety of neurological conditions, including meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and other disorders affecting the brain and spinal cord. At Dr. Mohit Anand Clinic in Hongkong market, 3038, Block G, Sushant Lok 2, Sector 57, Gurugram, Haryana 122003, under the expert care of Dr. Mohit Anand, patients can benefit from comprehensive diagnosis and effective treatment plans for such conditions.

The procedure involves the careful insertion of a needle into the lower back, specifically into the area surrounding the spinal cord, to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord, and analyzing it can provide crucial insights into infections, inflammation, and other neurological disorders.

Conditions like meningitis, a life-threatening infection of the brain and spinal cord membranes, often require a spinal tap to determine the type of infection—whether bacterial, viral, or fungal. Similarly, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders can be diagnosed or monitored through CSF analysis, which helps identify abnormal proteins or inflammatory markers associated with these diseases.

Dr. Mohit Anand, a highly skilled neurologist with years of experience, ensures that each procedure is conducted with the utmost precision and patient comfort. At Dr. Mohit Anand Clinic, the latest medical technology and advanced techniques are employed to ensure the best possible outcomes. The clinic offers a calm and supportive environment, where patients can feel at ease throughout the process.
