Several lifestyle behaviours are increasingly making headaches commonplace and many a times, they can severely impact productivity.

These clinics underscore the opinion of our specialists which is that a comprehensive examination which includes review by all four specialities is the most effective way to treat headaches and migraines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, Apollo Memory Clinic will provide multidisciplinary support in the identification, investigation and treatment of memory disorders including dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s at an early stage. People often show several symptoms of memory loss but these are ignored. The memory clinic will help to screen the brain\u2019s functioning and identify cases of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia\u201d, she further added.<\/p>\n
