About of Christopher Troedson

Christopher Troedson is a neurologist based in Westmead, NSW, Australia. He looks after people with a wide range of brain, nerve, and muscle conditions, including both children and adults.


Neurology can be complex, and families often feel overwhelmed. Christopher helps by taking things step by step, explaining what is happening in plain language, and working out a clear plan. In many cases, that means understanding symptoms like seizures, ongoing movement problems, or changes in muscle tone and strength.


His care covers conditions such as epilepsy, absence seizures, and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. He also looks after people with stroke, spasticity, and movement disorders. Sometimes the issue is long term, like cerebral palsy-related muscle and movement problems, inherited muscle conditions, or nerve problems that affect feeling and strength.


Genetic and developmental neurological conditions are also part of his everyday work. This can include rare brain and muscle disorders, encephalitis, and syndromes that affect how the brain develops and how the body moves. He also sees people with hypotonia, facial weakness, and problems with balance or coordination.


Where needed, he helps teams sort out what fits best with the symptoms and test results, including when seizure patterns are unusual or when there are signs of pressure changes inside the head. At times, he supports people during tricky transitions, like when a new medication needs adjusting, or when someone’s condition changes over time.


Because neurology often links in with other services, Christopher works with local hospitals and health professionals to keep care organised. The goal is simple: better understanding, safer decisions, and treatment that matches the person, not just the diagnosis.


Christopher’s focus is on practical care and clear communication for families, carers, and patients. If you are dealing with seizures, movement issues, or a neurologic condition that has been hard to pin down, he can help guide the next steps.
