Emma R. Power is a neurologist working at 75 East Street, Lidcombe, NSW 2141. Neurology is all about the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and Emma looks after people when those systems are affected by illness or injury.
Her work covers a broad mix of conditions. This includes stroke, concussion, and traumatic brain injury. She also supports people living with long-term nerve and muscle conditions such as primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). At times, she may also help with apraxia, which can affect how a person plans and carries out movements, even when strength is there.
Memory and thinking symptoms can be a big part of her patients’ needs too. Emma supports people dealing with dementia, and helps families understand what can change over time. In many cases, that means working closely with other health professionals so care is coordinated and practical.
Over time, Emma has built her experience around caring for people through both sudden events and slower health changes. Stroke and brain injuries can be fast and scary. Motor nerve conditions like ALS and PLS often come with tough decisions and ongoing support. Emma’s approach is calm and clear, focusing on what matters day to day, not just the diagnosis.
Education and training in neurology are an important part of how she works, with a strong grounding in brain and nervous system care. She keeps learning as treatments and guidelines develop, and she uses that knowledge to help explain options in plain language.
At times, clinical trial discussions may come up, depending on what’s available and what fits a person’s situation. Where research is relevant, Emma will help patients and families understand what a trial is, what it could involve, and what the likely trade-offs are, so decisions feel informed.
Care doesn’t always stop at the clinic visit. Some of Emma’s patients also need support with feeding and nutrition, including matters like gastrostomy. She aims to make sure the plan is realistic, and that symptoms, safety, and quality of life are considered together.
