Neurology
Neurology is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Specifically it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue such as muscle. These disorders can include but are not limited to brain and spinal cord tumors, neuritis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and muscle disorders and pain. A Neurologist is a physician who specializes in neurology. As a specialist, the Neurologist sees patients with a wide range of problems and may act as a patient’s principal or consulting physician, while the family physician or primary care physician is generally in charge of a patient’s total healthcare.
