Department of Neurology

Specialty Introduction

Neurology is a medical specialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system, which encompasses the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles. Neurologists, who are highly trained medical doctors, assess and manage a variety of conditions like epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, headaches, and other neurological disorders. They employ clinical evaluations, diagnostic tests, and medical interventions to care for patients with neurological issues.

What does neurology encompass? In brief, it involves the identification and management of nervous system abnormalities. The nervous system comprises the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, and more, each with its unique set of disorders. Neurologists, akin to detectives, locate the disorder's site, ascertain its cause, and recommend suitable treatment.
