Neurology
A neurologist evaluates, diagnoses, and treats conditions that affect your body’s nervous system, including your brain, spinal cord, and the nerves that extend throughout your body.
Neurologists do not perform surgery. Instead, they focus on diagnosing neurological disorders and managing them with medications, lifestyle recommendations, and other non-surgical therapies. For example, if you experience chronic headaches, seizures, nerve pain, or movement disorders, your neurologist may recommend diagnostic testing, prescribe medication, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help control symptoms and improve your quality of life.
