What is general neurology?

General neurology is a field of health care that focuses on diagnosing neurological disorders and treating their symptoms. Neurological conditions can result from trauma, age-related changes in your body, or because of genetic factors.

Neurology Care provides comprehensive services for a range of conditions, including:

• Stroke
• Epilepsy
• Dementia
• Brain tumors
• Multiple sclerosis
• Movement disorders
• Alzheimer’s disease

The team can also diagnose and treat neuromuscular disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscular dystrophy, and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage).

Why would I need general neurology care?

You should schedule a consultation at Neurology Care if you have any symptoms of a neurological condition and need a diagnosis or if you experience a serious head or spine injury.

Symptoms of a neurological disorder can include:

• Fainting
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Seizures
• Memory issues
• Vision changes
• Slurred or difficult speech
• Persistent headaches, or migraines

The team also recommends that you schedule a diagnostic evaluation if you have symptoms of neuropathy such as numbness, tingling, and pain in your arms, legs, or other parts of your body.

Neurology Care provides on-site lab testing and diagnostic imaging technologies to identify the cause of your symptoms and confirm your neurological condition. Based on your testing results, the team creates a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms and prevent your condition from worsening.

What general neurology treatments are available?

Neurology Care offers a range of nonsurgical treatment options to treat neurological conditions. Depending on the type of condition you have, you might need:

• Medications
• Physical therapy
• Spinal cord stimulation
• Deep brain stimulation

If nonsurgical therapies aren’t working well to manage your condition, you may be a candidate for surgery. The neurology team can discuss your options for surgery during your consultation.

Since many neurological conditions need ongoing medical care, the team continues to monitor your health and mobility during routine follow-up appointments. They can also coordinate further care with a specialist and any physical or occupational rehabilitative services you need to maintain your independence.
