Nerve and neuro support

We offer supportive care for people with nerve-related concerns, including those recovering from a stroke or living with a long-term neurological condition. It is always provided alongside care by a neurologist, never instead of it.

What we do not claim

We do not claim to cure paralysis or reverse a neurological condition. Where a neurologist is treating you, their advice comes first.

Signs of a stroke — call 112 immediately

  • Face drooping on one side
  • Weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, especially on one side
  • Slurred speech or difficulty understanding speech
  • Sudden severe headache, or sudden loss of balance or vision — call emergency services on 112 immediately. Every minute matters.
Alongside your medicines

Swasi care is provided alongside the treatment your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop or change any medicine without speaking to the doctor who prescribed it.
