Candice Delcourt is a neurologist based in NSW, working from PO Box M201, Missenden Road, Australia (NSW 2050). Neurology can feel overwhelming at first. There are lots of different symptoms, and causes can vary from one person to the next, so care needs to be steady and practical.
In clinic, Dr Delcourt looks after people dealing with stroke and the problems that can come after it. This includes help with managing the effects of stroke, and also talking through treatments used in more urgent situations like thrombectomy. She also helps patients understand things that can raise stroke risk, such as Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO), and what it means for long-term health.
Headaches are another big part of her work. Migraine can stop your life in its tracks, and tension-type headaches and other headache patterns can be just as disruptive. Alongside this, she helps with dizziness and balance issues linked to the brain’s coordination areas, including problems like cerebellar parenchymal disorders.
Neurology doesn’t always sit in one neat box. At times, symptoms can also connect to blood pressure and body salt levels. Dr Delcourt works with patients who have hypertension, low blood pressure, and low sodium levels, especially when those issues overlap with neurological symptoms. The goal is to make sense of what’s going on and match the plan to the person, not the other way around.
Care is usually about listening closely, asking the right questions, and then checking what the body is doing with the help of the usual clinical tests and imaging when needed. Over time, this kind of approach can bring more clarity. It can also help patients feel more in control, whether they are dealing with a sudden event like stroke or a longer-running problem like migraine.
