Laurence G. Marshman is a Neurologist based on North Terrace in Adelaide, SA. The clinic is set up for people who need help with nervous system problems, from ongoing pain through to issues after an injury.
Neurology can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms drag on or keep coming back. Laurence looks after patients with conditions such as chronic subdural haematoma and subdural haematoma, including cases that have been present for a while. He also sees people after traumatic brain injury, where headaches, brain fog, or trouble with balance can linger.
Day to day, there’s often more than one thing going on. You might come in with memory loss concerns, nerve pain, or sudden or long-lasting numbness and weakness. At times the work also involves mononeuritis multiplex and neuralgia, where nerves get irritated and pain can be sharp, burning, or constant.
Another common reason people book in is ongoing pain that affects daily life. This can include sciatica, chronic pain, and facet joint syndrome. Sometimes there’s a clear trigger, like a back or neck problem, and other times the pattern is more complex and needs careful assessment.
Laurence also deals with issues like ganglion cysts when they cause nerve symptoms, and he can help sort out what’s going on when the symptoms don’t fit neatly into one box. In some cases, he may also care for people after subarachnoid haemorrhage, alongside the broader care team.
His neurology training forms the base of the approach, and he keeps up with updates through ongoing professional learning. The goal is to be practical and steady—make sense of the symptoms, discuss options clearly, and help people choose a next step that fits their situation.
Clinical trials usually aren’t the main focus of a neurology appointment, but if a trial option ever becomes relevant, it can be discussed as part of the wider care pathway. For most people, the priority is getting the right diagnosis, planning management, and supporting recovery over time.
