Neurology

Neurology is the medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It plays a crucial role in managing conditions that impact everything from movement and cognition to sensation and overall body function.

The Nervous System:

  • Central Nervous System (CNS): Made up of the brain and spinal cord.
  • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Consists of the nerves extending throughout the body, including sensory organs like the eyes, ears, and skin.

Conditions Treated in Neurology:

Neurologists help manage a wide range of neurological disorders, such as:

  • Stroke: Diagnosed and treated through advanced imaging and clot-bursting therapies.
  • Epilepsy: Managed with medications and, in some cases, surgical intervention.
  • Movement Disorders: Includes Parkinson’s disease, tremors, and dystonia, treated with medications or therapies.
  • Multiple Sclerosis: An autoimmune disorder treated to slow disease progression.
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: Managed through comprehensive care to slow cognitive decline.
  • Neuromuscular Disorders: Such as ALS, treated with a combination of medication and physical therapy.

Diagnostic Tools in Neurology:

Several advanced diagnostic techniques help in identifying neurological conditions:
  • MRI and CT Scans: To detect abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG): Measures brain activity to diagnose seizures.
  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG): Assess nerve and muscle function.

When to See a Neurologist?

Symptoms that may indicate a neurological condition include:

  • Persistent headaches or seizures.
  • Numbness or weakness in limbs.
  • Difficulty with balance, coordination, or speech.
  • Memory loss, cognitive decline, or tremors.
