Neurology

Neurology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Neurologists handle a wide range of conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, and neuropathies. Using advanced diagnostic tools like MRIs, CT scans, EEGs, and nerve conduction studies, neurologists develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition. Treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, or coordination with neurosurgeons when surgical intervention is required. Neurology plays a vital role in managing complex, chronic, and life-altering neurological disorders to improve quality of life.
