How can a neurologist help?

A neurologist is a physician with special training in diagnosing and managing brain, spinal cord, nerve tissue, and muscle diseases. A few most common problems that a neurologist treats are stroke, epilepsy, headache, multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, nerve pain, and dizziness. Neurological consultation involves history taking and a specialized physical examination which includes tests of vision, coordination, strength, reflexes, and sensation.

Other tests may be needed to evaluate neurological conditions, such as electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potential testing, scanning, or blood tests. Health problems other than those related to your neurological symptoms will remain under the care of your physician.
