Overview

Neurology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Conditions treated by neurologists include epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraines, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropathies. Neurologists use various diagnostic tools such as MRI, CT scans, EEG, and lumbar punctures to assess and diagnose neurological conditions. Treatment plans can include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to manage symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.
