Neurology

Neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists diagnose and manage a wide range of conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, headache disorders (such as migraines), neuropathies, myopathies, and movement disorders. They utilize various diagnostic tests and procedures to evaluate and treat patients. Neurologists may prescribe medications, recommend lifestyle modifications, and provide rehabilitative therapies (such as physical therapy and speech therapy) to improve patients' neurological function and quality of life.
