What Is Neurology?
Neurology is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems. Our neurologists and staff provide evaluation and treatment for neurological disorders and are dedicated to providing excellent care and service to our patients. Neurological exams are the first step to making a diagnosis, and your physician will perform several noninvasive, painless tests to determine what’s malfunctioning in your central nervous system, brain, or spine.
Some of the neurological disorders we treat include:
- Stroke
- Seizures
- Epilepsy (a chronic condition in which the patient has had 2 or more unprovoked seizures)
- EEG testing (Electroencephalogram), including both ambulatory video EEG and regular EEG
- Dementia
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Diseases of the spinal cord, such as pinched nerves
- Concussions, including second impact syndrome
- Migraines
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Diseases of the muscle
- Epilepsy
- EMG testing (electromyography)
- Autonomics testing
- Tremors
- And more
