Neurology

Neurology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurologists diagnose and manage conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathies. They utilize various diagnostic tools such as imaging studies, electroencephalography (EEG), and nerve conduction studies. Treatment approaches include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Neurology encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the nervous system and plays a crucial role in improving patients’ quality of life and neurological well-being.
