Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

Neurologists treat conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological disorders.

You should see a neurologist if you experience symptoms such as severe headaches, chronic pain, dizziness, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or problems with coordination or memory.

Neurologists use tests such as MRI, CT scans, EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, lumbar punctures, and blood tests to diagnose neurological conditions.
