Welcome to Lake District Neurology, where our commitment to patient-focused care and empowerment is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that understanding your health is the first step towards managing it effectively, and our goal is to support you on your journey to recovery and an active life.
Our Mission
At Lake District Neurology, our mission is to provide patient-focused and responsive care, empowering and educating patients to take an active role in managing their illness. We aim to help you achieve the best possible recovery and return to an active life, with a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Expert Neurological Care
We offer timely appointments with our expert Consultant Neurologist, Dr Jitka Vanderpol, who specialises in diagnosing and managing a wide range of common neurological disorders. Dr Vanderpol is also a nationally recognised headache expert, committed to providing comprehensive care that goes beyond typical treatments.
For those suffering from chronic headaches and migraines, we offer advanced treatments such as:
- Injectable interventions: Greater Occipital Nerve Block, Multiple Cranial Nerves Block, Injectable Monoclonal Antibodies, and Botox.
- Treatment devices: GammaCore, Cefaly, and the soon-to-be-available Relivion.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Services
Understanding that each patient’s needs are unique, we provide access to a range of diagnostic services. If necessary, we can arrange appointments with a Consultant Clinical Neurophysiologist for electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Additionally, we can coordinate further investigations, including CT scans, MRI scans, and Lumbar Punctures, to ensure a thorough understanding of your condition.
Flexible Consultation Options
Recognising that travel can be a barrier to care, we offer both face-to-face appointments and teleconferences. This flexibility ensures that you can receive expert care in a way that best suits your lifestyle and needs.
Empowering Through Education
At Lake District Neurology, we believe knowledge is key to managing your health. We’re dedicated to helping you understand neurological conditions so you can take an active role in your care. For those suffering from chronic headaches or migraines, education is crucial in breaking the vicious cycle of pain.
While painkillers may offer temporary relief, they can lead to a ‘vicious circle’ where today’s treatment results in tomorrow’s rebound headache. To help you manage your condition more effectively, Dr Jitka Vanderpol has authored “Helping You Successfully Manage Your Headache and Migraine: A Patient’s Guide“, published by Cambridge Scholars. While the book is available for purchase, it serves as an excellent companion to the care provided by our team, helping you take control of your condition.
